Word Buzz Friday

Hey everyone! I'm back to add a few new words to your vocab like I do every Friday!

Okay, admit it. We all have that one friend where it seems no matter what we do we will never have as many friends as they do on Facebook. Face it, they have over 1,000 and you just aren't sure if your "friend" even knows all of those people. Maybe your "friend" is you. There is a word for that. Facebookemon March 23

The term used for the collection of people, on your Facebook friends list, that you don’t actually talk to or know in real life. Related to popular tv program and game Pokemon, where the aim is to collect as many different Pocket Monsters as possible.

Dave - "Hey, my friends collection is getting up to two hundred"

Steve - "How many do you really know? go admit it, most of them are Facebookemon"

John - "Gotta catch em all, gotta catch em all"

This next one was said to me by a friend after I told her how much time I had recently spent with a special someone.

Wifed up

When a man (or woman in my case) is held down or in check by a female (*ahem* male in my case) counterpart so as to not engage in social situations with other members of the general public.

Our good buddy John is wifed up this weekend and can't come out with the guys.

What she actually said was "Oh, I forgot that you've been wifed up recently."

There you have it folks! Two new words to add to your slangcabulary. Have a super awesome weekend!

It's Friday and that means it's time for a new word or phrase. The two I chose this week are from the urban dictionary again. They were just too good to pass up!

Rebooty:

1. A booty call made with an ex.

2. A renewed relationship with an ex.

After they broke up, Joe still called Kate for some rebooty on weekends.

Parade Maker:

(n). A driver and/or car that goes consistently under the speed limit, causing a backup of 20+ cars, creating frustration and your ability to be where you want to be on time.

Gee boss, I'm very sorry that I'm 10 minutes late, but I was in a long line of cars stuck behind this parade maker.

It was a double line for several miles. no one could even attempt to pass the parade maker.

Hope you enjoy these new editions to your vocabulary. Have a great weekend!

The English language is constantly inventing new words and phrases. Some of them make sense and some of them are ridiculous. Urban dictionary tries to keep up with the thousands of new words and slang being created every year.

Some of their words for this week are:

Yellular: The loudness one adopts in response to a bad cell-phone connection, in the misguided hope that talking louder will improve the connection. "I'm so embarrassed. I went totally yellular at a restaurant last night." Laundry Limbo: Intentionally rewashing clothing simply because you don't feel like putting it away "I had a shirt I knew was clean, but I was too lazy to hang it up so I just kept it in laundry limbo"

I'm guilty of both of those! How about you?

Then, do you remember my post on calling women chicks? We found this from the comic strip Pearls Before Swine.
