The Year in Review
Well this is it, the last official post of 2006, and what a year it has been. So many changes, so many new experiences, and so many horrible horrible things happeneing to everyone around the globe.
Some things of note which have happened to me over the past year (good, bad, sad, and happy, also in no particular order):
Now for a new Language review:
1) Flobdalflick - dirt or stain on a person or article of clothing
"Sarah, you've got some flobdalflick on your blouse. It's probably from that cake you were eating before."
2) Slofa - a feeling of extreme lagging, leaving one with the urge to lay down on a loveseat, reclining chair, or sofa.
"I am stuck here doing this work, and I am totally slofa."
3) Waving A Pancake - to hopelessly try and get someone's attention, to go unnoticed despite one's efforts.
"Give up, with that girl you are just waving a pancake."
4) chakode (pronounced chuck-oh-dee) - to suddenly go stiff, become inflexible, brittle and/or rigid.
"Before vomiting, you body will enter a chakode state right at the point of emission. Afterwards you will be overcome with a sense of slofishness."
5) Clickory - a positive memory, once forgotten, but recently reminded of
"I completely forgot about that skit we did until you said something. What a great clickory."
6) Flint - Incredibly awesome. About as cool as anything can get.
"Having two new entries in Joshspeak to learn is so flint it's making me a little chakode just thinking about it."
7) Emeff - an act of depravity and/or perversion. Something that can make even the most steady of people stop and say "What? Eww!"
"Michael Jackson opening a Leprechaun themed amusement park in Ireland is a little too emeff for my like liking."
8) Irgit (pronounced er-git): a task, event, person or object which serves absolutely no purpose other then to keep a person busy/occupied/out-of-the-way.
"Having me sit here and color code your address book is something I would call irgit, making me wonder how much you value my job."
9) Valen (pronounced vay-len) - attractive, aesthetically pleasing
"Oh man, those girls are so valen that it's making me woozy and a little slofa."
10) Hand Carved - a phrase which means to be used, manipulated and displayed, usually against one's will
"The situation has left me completely hand carved and feeling as though I am nothing more then a pretty face."

22) Hershfanging - To go completely off the deep end, with limited abilities to do otherwise, over something that is really not that big of a deal. usually as a result of lacking control over a situation and resulting in everyone else thinking you are much more insane then previously thought.

23) Diving For Prairie Oysters - When in a panicked state, one might stick his/her head between their own legs and start to breathe, which is used to calm someone down. This is the term used to describe such an action.
