Sorta Kinda Awesome 1

[Ladyazh]

Yesterday before some award ceremony on TV:
'I kinda like her dress'
'I sorts think her skin is too ashy for the color'

What are these mutants?
Sorta like it means do not like it or like it?
Kinda ashy means not ashy at all or little ashy still?

How old these words and what do you think about using them?
I love 'awesome' but I hear it is overused but it is a good word!!! 'Kinda-sorta' are not good words but fun to say?

Once, Mad TV had a skit, "Boyz in the Robin Hood". ("Knowest thou what I am saying?")

Feles mala! Cur cista non uteris? Stramentum novum in ea posui!

 

[flapeyre]

But seriously, folks..

Me: They got the air conditioning working again.

My Lovely and Talented Wife: Cool!

Me: Umm.. yeah.

(N.B.: My wife is a school librarian, and she tends to pick up some expressions that the kids use).

Down, guise, down.

Seriously, Bruce Willis tried "ducts for cover" in the first Die Hard movie. In the end, he got the shaft.

But seriously, flapeyre ..

You: They got the air conditioning working again.
Your Lovely and Talented Wife: Cool!

What was she suppose to say? Hot?

 

[chiph]

She should have said: Grate!

The kids with Grilles will appreciate it, too.

From the southern continent...

Another word that 'like' gets used really poorly here - or maybe just a personal peev - is 'OFF'

as in "I got it off him" - or "I got the idea off that program".

Was it ever on top? Maybe I am too picky or whatever.

 

[gbaughma]

Hehe.....

I think flapeyre's lovely and telented wife's response was concise and clever.

SOOOO.... to keep up with that... what other one-word responses could we have to questions?

"Honey, I found your lighter!"
"Smokin'!"

"We just tore up the propeller on the boat by hitting some sort of wall in the water..."
"DAM!" (hehe)

"I cleared the drain in the garage...."
"Great! (Grate)"

C'mon kiddies... what other ones can you come up with? ;-)

Greg,

I think flapeyre's lovely and telented wife's response was concise and clever.

I agree. I am surprised that he apparently didn't notice it himself.

 

[flapeyre]

Trust me, I have noticed it many times over the last 20 years.

But it was not always about air conditioning, was it? :-D

 

[flapeyre]

In Louisiana, it's always about air conditioning. It was 80 F here yesterday (before the front came through).

Some more.....

"Honey, I've decided to gripe at you MUCH more!"
"Bitchin'!"

"Oh, look! Motley Crue is coming to town!"
"Rockin'!"

"Phooey. My shoelaces have come untied."
"Trippin'!"

"I bought some new kitchen cleaner."
"Fantastik!" (OK, for you non-merry-kins... it's a brand-name of multi-purpose cleaner)

"Honey, my mom's been admitted to an asylum."
"Crazy!"

(hehe... mother-in-law dig.... gotta love 'em)

OK... I'll stop now!

No, those are tools that come with a 10-year warranty.

Isn't "tenure warranty" a bit redundant?

It bugs me when people replace "were like" or "was like" with "said".

"They were like, 'Are you ok?' And, I was like, 'No.'
