Vocab Lesson
I say a lot of weird shit. I don’t call anybody by their real names (and if I do it probably means I don’t like you or know you that well), I make up some words, and say some unusual ones. Here’s a vocab lesson to help keep you on your toes around here:
Vom: Short for vomit. As used in a sentence: “A shot of tequila or Jameson makes me wanna vom.”
Annoy2k: I am fairly certain Biggie’s friend from college, Marcy, introduced me to the simple “annoy” to describe something as annoying. I wanted to take it one step further, and the year was 1999. Hence, Annoy2k,
the most annoying of all annoying things. As used in a sentence: “The Cardinals got DeRosa? Wow, annoy2k!”
What’s tha date: I’m not asking you what the date is. It’s more like, I didn’t hear you/what’d you say? As used in a sentence: “Wait, what’s tha date?”
Mobile: Cell Phone. As used in a sentence: “Klinker, where the hell is my mobile?!”
Vale (Bah-lay): It’s Spanish for ok, yeah, agreed, etc. I use it quite liberally and whenever I feel like it. As used in a sentence: “I will meet you there. Vale. Vale. Vale, vale vale!!”
Euro: No, not my favorite currency. Urinate. As used in a sentence: “I just chugged a bunch of water and now I gotta euro.”
Shit’s piece: I was asking my Italian friend to provide me with some Italian terms and phrases I could use. (He doesn’t speak English that well.) So he sent me a list and on it was some Italian term translated by him to say “shit’s piece.” I thought that was the most hilarious thing I had ever heard. I knew he meant to say “piece of shit” but goddamn if shit’s piece isn’t funnier and more descriptive! As used in a sentence: “That weirdo that kept stalking us at the bar was a fuckin’ shit’s piece!”
I also use a variety of Aussie phrases as I love Australians and strive to be more like them:
Jumper: Basically a hoodie or sweater. As used in a sentence: “It’s so cold, I better go put my jumper on.”
Runners: Gym shoes. As used in a sentence: “I wish I didn’t have a need for runners but I guess exercise is kind of necessary.”
Sunnies: Sunglasses. As used in a sentence: “I’m gonna wear my sunnies inside so people will think I’m a celebrity!”
And a term I made up based on Aussie-ness:
Flippies: Flip-flops. As used in a sentence: “I love wearing my flippies in the summer.”
I am sure I am forgetting some… but if you’re curious about what something I say means, just ask! More often than not it’s just some nonsense…
Pet Peeve of the Day: The smell of blown out candles
