my favorite... Jun 14, 2007

...is "Man flu": the male tendency to exaggerate a cold.
I can almost bet it was created by a woman...

I like tanorexic (obsessed with maintaining a permanent deep tan), as well.

Time will tell Jun 15, 2007

I suppose the article writer is correct. Many of these words will come and go.

Whatever happened to "groovy" and "out of sight"?

For example, my nephew is proud of being a good wood-pusher (skate boarder) and is not very fond of pedal pushers (BMX riders)..ten minutes later I could not understand anymore without a "simultaneous interpreter" (my other nephew) ..it was like chinese/ tagalog with a little french in the middle ???
