One of my favourite websites at the moment is www.urbandictionary.com
I like to use it when I'm surfing the web and I see stuff like "Ahhemmgee, this pic is totes embar. But, beeteedubs, you look totes presh!" - WTF?
Here are some of the gems I've found recently that resonate with me:
Air jerk: Making a 'jerking off' motion with one's hand to express disgust, disinterest or disbelief, while simulatenously rolling one's eyes. Similar to concept of playing air guitar.
I love to do this when talking about someone I think is a douche....which leads to my next one:
Douchebaguette: A female douchebag. A woman who exhibits characteristics of a douchebag.
Just 'cos I'm in Canada
Running latte: Showing up late to work because you stopped for coffee along the way.
If only it was a flat white....
Brown chicken, brown cow: an onomatopaeic imitation of the guitar riff commonly heard in 1970's porn movies. For example, Jim: "Hey, where are Abby and Jake?" Matt: "Brown chicken, brown cow."
I just thought this one was classic. Mainly because I had to say it out loud at my desk at work in order to fully understand it.
Alt-tabbin': An act of quickly switching the current application to something work-appropriate when the boss walks in. For example, "My boss almost caught me on Facebook at work, good thing I was Alt-Tabbin"
Because this is what I do for 7 hours a day.
Facebook binge: The act of going on Facebook 'just to check it for a few minutes' and suddenly finding that it's 3 or 4 hours later and you have no idea where your afternoon went. Commonly occurs when 'quickly checking Facebook' is used as a break in studying/tidying/other necessary but dull tasks.
What can I say....
brown chicken brown cow is gold! brilliant
