Keep it Lit...

I love a clever turn of word but lately people have some 'splainin' to do.  Seems there is slang that I was totally ignorant of.  Dane used to chastise me and say that once I finally caught on, it was all passe' and I sounded like an idiot.  

Let me share my recent relevations and maybe enlighten you, too.  Gal pal Kristin and I were at happy hour at our favorite watering hole-a perfect place to watch the boats roll in while the cocktails roll out and have a hipster conversation about such things.

  As a person who attempts (well, sort of..) to stay relatively hip, I am amazed at all the 'new' verbage floating around.   For instance, did you know that being 'snatched' has nothing to do with me grabbing the last piece of garlic bread in the basket?   No, rather it means that my make-up, eyebrows and clothing choices are 'on point.'  I guess if I cared a little more, that could be an issue.  I'm more likely to do the garlic bread thing.

And how about the word 'extra?'  It's just soooo extra.  The drunk chickie that we watched stumbling  off the yacht in high heels and a revealing dress was certainly very 'extra.'  The guys watching her were treated to a little 'extra' view as she navigated her crawl off the boat.  

How about the 'prom posal?'   This is fancy slang for a guy asking a girl to be his date for the event.  However, this request doesn't happen in the hall by the lockers.  A prom posal must be done at a very special place, possibly on one knee, with maybe flowers and and expensive dinner involved.  The event must be photographed, videoed and posted on all social media.  The Sears Tower is a perfect location-or at least the RenCen.  Any jumbotron invite, at a major sporting event-say the Superbowl- is also appropriate for popping the prom question.

And what about a 'push present?'  As I understand it,  when you birth your baby, a present is due you because you 'pushed.'  Apparently the little bambino is not gift enough but any jewelry store or furrier, or car dealership will happily hook up the Dad as he rewards Mommy for the job well done.   I do not know if sweating or panting is yet to be rewarded.  BONUS!!

How's that for a little update?  Have an extra snatched week.  I'm going to dip out and take my extra butt to hit the hay.  Groovy, Baby!  xo
