Lingo

The temperature was dropping quickly last night and as it gets colder, DD8 always starts coughing. She was sitting on the lounge in her pajamas when DH said “Go get your housecoat on!” She didn’t respond because she didn’t think that he was talking to her. So he said it again. “G, put your housecoat on!” The [...]

The other day was chatting with an old friend of mine when suddenly she stepped down and her teen son took over the chat desk, and God! To hell with his lingo I struggled terribly to chat with him for just 2 minutes, bid a bye to him but surfed on the web to compile [...]

It was the late 1970s and I was a rookie INS agent working the streets of Baltimore and the Maryland suburbs of D.C. Jimmy Carter was President. His Immigration Commissioner was a political crony from Texas named Leonel Castillo. Castillo, like all modern-day INS Commissioners and even their current ICE Assistant Secretary variants, had virtually no law enforcement and no immigration law experience. Castillo had supervised a human resources development program for a neighborhood day care association...(read more)

It is of my sorely defeated opinion that one should never repeat a single snippet of the English language which has been spewed from an attorney's paid-by-the hour mouth. It is of my learned belief that one should retain a smidgen of skepticism and freely exercise those particular faiths as needed. Today, Social Security said I am A-P-P-R-O-V-E-D! The Claims Representative went on to expound that the "Regional Office" acts as a review board and determines the original disability date so as to set up a payment schedule and calculate the amount of back pay. I was told that the only reason my case would be overturned is that if there were blatant fraud involved ,or something to that effect.My case was decided on the 25th of March according to the office, so I may rightfully assume that I will

Wow this made me laugh when I first heard it on the radio... and then again on TV. The idea behind this is that this is Clinton's only option left is to cheat to beat Obama, trying not to get caught. Or just hoping they 'find some human-growth-hormone in his urine' as I also heard one say today... She needs him not to be 'less electable... but unelectable'... and desperately. She needs to give

What's in a name... From IPWireless to NextWave Wireless* and from TDtv to MXtv, the TDD champion abandons the techno lingo for a vocabulary fitter for this meshy / cloudy / blurred world.Let's forget about the recent controversy about WiMAX, TDD (now), and FDD (soon according to Bill Gateses, someday according to Steve Jobses, maybe according to Arun Sarins, never according to WiMAX haters) ; let's forget about that fabled path towards 4G**: this is about next gen "waves", about giving you the "MAX", about TV on the go.If you enjoy techno lingo and old style hardware, you can also try Huawei's E510 HSUPA datacard. If your device still has the slot for it next June the 5th.* see "Social networking for social networks" (20080214)** see "3G & 4G - WiMAX flirts with ITU" (20070303)

Welcome to the first post in the 'Weekly Fun' section which will be updated with fun facts, trivia, games, and much more every week. Enjoy!Do you remember when they used to call out the bingo numbers alongside unusual sayings? Who remembers what two little ducks were?Although some bingo halls and online bingo halls still use these quirky sayings, sadly they are very rarely used anymore. Well, I have included the mainstream 'Bingo Lingo' incase you do come across it when playing bingo and have no idea what they mean, or just feel like taking a trip down memory lane if you are one of those that miss this during the more 'modern' bingo game.(P.S I apologise in advance if you find some of them offensive but I am just sharing it like it is)1 Kelly's Eye / On its Own / At the Beginning / Start

A trucker came into a truck stop cafe and placed his order. He said, "I want three flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards."The brand new blonde waitress, not wanting to appear stupid, went to the kitchen and said to the cook, "This guy out there just ordered three flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards. What does he think this place is, an auto parts store?""No," the cook said. "Three flat tires mean three pancakes, a pair of headlights is two eggs sunny side up, and running boards are 2 slices of crisp bacon.""Oh, OK!" said the blonde. She thought about it for a moment and then spooned up a bowl of beans and gave it to the customer.The trucker asked, "What are the beans for, Blondie?"She replied, "I thought while you were waiting for the flat tires, headlights and running boards, you might as well gas up!"

Here's a little list of lingo,useful to know, but which is not very necessary: Bid: is the maximum price you are prepared to pay for an item. Dutch: an auction where more than one of an item is available. Feedback: positive or negative comments left about other users on eBay. Mint: in perfect condition. Non-paying bidder: a bidder who wins an auction but does not then go on to buy the item.

We have our own language in this house. It’s odd how those develop over the years. Things that start as jokes eventually really become the jargon of your home. I like it though. So, I thought I might share some of the lingo along with the origins with you. Instead of serious, Adam and I always say “serial” or “cereal”. As in, “I’m totally cereal about this!” I’m pretty sure this evolved from a random tidbit caught of SouthPark (go ahead and judge, but it is funny) one time. Regardless of its juvenile origin, it’s quite funny. Especially when it slips out by accident in front of people who don’t understand it. Adam and I always call each other “LOVA!” you have to yell it and draw out the end. This began after watching a Best of Will Ferrell DVD. They have this hilarious skit where they endlessly repeat the word “lova”. It just kind of stuck. You can watch it here. We also make fun of

(Written Tuesday, February 27, 2007) You should see the looks on people’s faces when I manage to spit out a few words of Bukusu, a Luyha dialect. I’ve picked up some Kiswahili, too, but the majority of the women with whom I work are Bukusu. So I could not imagine spending a couple of months here and not learning at least the basic greetings. But people just seem so surprised when they hear me say, “Oriana” (How are you?). And they go nuts when I say, “Buliye” (Good-bye).Bukusu is sort of like math. It’s something that I figured I would play around with while I am here but never actually use for any significant purpose. I could not have been more wrong. On the way to Kitale today, Joshua and I were pulled over at a police checkpoint (Yes, I am tired of being bothered by the police). I have no idea why the policeman pulled us over. He inspected the licensing decals on the windshield of Joshua’s car, and then he came to my window. I rolled down the window, and the policema

This is nice. I cam across this site before Christmas giving some general advice on Blog Terms.

Any how if you are new to blogging then this glossary will help you get started.

This is just a car buying tip 101. When the salesperson says, how much can you afford per month? This should put up a red flag in your mind as the saleperson is getting you to commit to a number and then they are going to push you up on that number.Customer "I cannot go over $300 a month."Salesperson: "ok, so if i find you a car you love for less than "$350 per monthwe would be good."Customer "well i guess if i loved the car that would be ok"NO, NO--Stick to your guns, if you go in with the intention of a $300 car note, stick to it. You just gave that saleperson a reason to find a car $3000 more than what you were looking for. If this dealership cannot help you out, there are thousands of other dealerships out there more than willing to help.As a salesperson, we were taught all kinds of leading questions that would lead a customer down the road to a sell and make more money with these leading questions. Just stop and think about what you are being asked! Be smart and dont get pulled in
