Word Buzz Friday

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.
