Happy first day of SUMMER everyone!! It seems like just yesterday it was cold and wintery. Yay, summer!! I wanted to wish a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Deborah!! Go visit her and wish her a happy one if you can!! Have a good one, Deborah!!
It's time for "Wordplay"!! I wanted to do a simple installment today because last week's was very difficult and hardly anyone took a crack at it. If anyone has an idea about a "Wordplay" game send it to valphish@aol.com or leave your idea in the comments section. I will give you credit!! I wanted to discuss today what words and/or phrases we commonly used. What are some commonly used words and/or phrases in your vocabulary? Are there some words and/or phrases that come out of your mouth many times during the day? Are you guilty of over-using certain words and/or phrases?
I wasn't sure about what I said alot so I asked my boyfriend this morning. He said that I used the words cool and right alot. When I say them I drag out the vowel sounds. They sound more like keeeewl and riiiight. I also say that's crazy alot. I drag out the "a" in crazy, too. I am not sure why I drag out the vowels in these words or other words. Now my boyfriend has started dragging out his vowels. LOL Krissy, do you ever drag out your vowels? I wonder if it is a VA thing (where I grew up). What about you?
Hope everyone is having a nice first day of summer! xox

"through with you" "get it together" i just have phrases i say alot like through with u is basically when someone does something funny or odd and it cracks me up and i say o im just to through with you. And get it together is when people got something in they life out of line for example my mom may lose her medicine and i would just say u need to get it together so thats me.

I have a lot of them. But I notice that when the kids pretend not to hear me I say on the loud side: Helloooooooooooooooooo! That usually wakes them up to the fact that I know they are not listening to me. : )
ReplyDeleteHappy summer,
Angela

We get some complaint calls in the call center where I work, from time to time. They'll call and say that "the magazines in the waiting room were from last month" or that "the valet parking people took 5 minutes to get their car when they were ready to leave." To me really petty complaints. Now if the doctor cut off the wrong leg of their loved one or removed a kidney instead of the gallbladder...to me that's a serious complaint. But to the people complaining about the magazines, etc. my response is (after they are off the phone of course) "they'd scream if they were hung with a gold rope." I also have been known to call them "lunatics" after listening to their whinning. And I also like the phrase "that's my story and I'm sticking to it" and "no way.. Jose'."

I say "cooool" a lot (yes I drag out the vowels, LOL). I also say "Jesus, help me!" I also say "You've got to be kidding."

Just stopping in to say hello & wish you a nice upcoming weekend.
ReplyDelete:) Sugar
When someone does something for me, I will usually say, "Thank you much." I don't know where that came from, because I've never heard anyone else say it. Sometimes when someone says "how are you?" I'll say "Me fine." Don't know where that came from, either....lol.
ReplyDeleteHappy second day of summer, Val!
--Tom
er......happy third day of summer.....lol....well, anyhow, have a great one.....
ReplyDelete--Tom
HEY THERE VAL... guess who? Memember me? Hope all is well and you are pumped up with an energetic and stress free day... well as stress free as things can be these days.
ReplyDeleteI say "kewwwwwwwwl" often as well. Or "awwwwwwwsome!" Another very common phrase that I have picked up from living in MN is "You betcha" I try NOT to say it but then it slips out! FUnny how that works eh? Oh dear there's another one I picked up from being so close to Canada "eh?" Said as a question or emphasis to a positive statement. "Great day eh!!?"
Hope all is well. I've actually made a few entries to my journal lately.... trying to come up for air. Stop by and say howdy doody.
Be well. Laugh often. Play hard.

Hi Val. How's it goin', eh? That Michael, he's a hoser. Full toque and everything. He even drinks Canadian beer. Take off, eh?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I tend to use whatever slang the kids thought was hip last year, causing my twelve year old son to roll his eyes a lot.

Visiting via CarnivAOL. I suppose with school out for a month now my most frequently uttered words have become, Not Now! LOL - Barbara
ReplyDeleteComing your way via CarnivAOL here! Well, some of my most commonly used words are not polite! LOL
ReplyDeleteThe latest thing coming out of my mouth lately is "Smokin Hot." You are not supposed to pronounce the "g" amd the "o" in smokin is long.
Nice to meet you!

My only rules for myself as I told the person helping me with my addition are: "never will I say -awesome-dude". I am so tired of hearing those words repeated over and over. I gave up groovy, far out, heavy, and all the other hippie terms long ago. Now 'cool' came back and it can be used in context as long as it is no over used. I did use 'knarly' once in describing wood and we thought it should not be on the list of words that cannot be used be me. lol mark
