- "Highly Questionable."
- Most commonly referring to an individual, similar to one you may see in a photo on the Awkward Family Photos website. Also often used to describe a situation.
- "Janky."
- (comparative jankier, superlative jankiest)
- (slang) of poor quality; untrustworthy
- i.e. After taking my poorly designed World History midterm, I commented "Man, that test was __janky!__"
- "...Or whatever"
- For example, I'll say something to the effect of "I was eating a grilled cheese, or whatever and..." I never notice that i am doing this but, Sam always reminds me and we have discussed the hilarity that exists in the concept of the "whatever." If I was eating a grilled cheese, shouldn't that be the end of the tale? What does the "whatever" imply? Is there more information I'm not disclosing?
- I have to admit, my ignorance is showing here and I wasn't sure whether to use affect or effect. Anybody know?
- Curse words, a habit I'd like to rid myself of. Usually, this is where my Boston accent likes to rear its ugly head.
- "Like."
- This only happens, for some reason, when I am around other people who say like a lot. Otherwise, I try to avoid using it as a conversation filler.
- Calling things/situations/people "Quality."
- I told Simonné she was "High quality" on her birthday card, pictured here.
- "Beverage"
- i.e. "I'm thirsty. May i have a beverage?" as opposed to "May I have a drink." I think of the latter as asking for something alcoholic which is why I elect to use beverage so that there is no confusion as to the style of liquid I am looking for.
- "Majestic"
- Typically used to describe animals, epic sweaters and more recently a customized Boston College beer pong table.
- "Silly"
- An overly tossed around descriptive word
- "Hot Second/Minute"
- i.e. "I'll be there in a hot second," or "Just give me, like, a hot minute and I'll be ready."
