new buzz words? remember when everybody started saying things like 'politically incorrect' and 'multi-tasking'?
i've read two books so far this year and both have contained the word "compartmentalizing". i get it, but why is it being thrown around so much all of a sudden.
com·part·men·tal·ize:
To separate into distinct parts, categories, or compartments: “You learn... even the ability to compartmentalize ethics” (Ellen Goodman).
any others you've heard lately?
Rat: do you have any regrets?
Pig: no, but i had a parrot once
Rat: that made absolutely no sense
Pig: well, it made sense to me until i learned he couldn't talk
Rat: i wish you couldn't talk
Pig: you would've liked my parrot |

| Well, I heard last week on the news that "googling" was a new one. But I think to us here, it's prob not. That's a hard one becasue they creep up on you. |

Where to begin, shine!?
"Bling" or "bling-bling" or any stupid rap saying. "Metrosexual" was
said to death. Lots of Iraq-war-related stuff has got to go, too: "embedded,"
"shock and awe."
 I still believe in the excellent joy of the Frank |

Hehehe... check this out http://www.buzzwhack.com/. You can even get the buzzword of the day
One of the buzzwords on there was
microwaiting: The time spent in front of the employee break room microwave while your lunch heats up. Regularly occurs a few minutes before noon and is generally not reported as a part of the lunch hour.

Ohh, you are so lucky you don't have that word. IT was kinda like metero sexual overload for awhile. I did like South Park making fun of them last year! It's a straight guy that has the great tastes of a stereotypical guy man. Plus he does things like pamper himself with facials and manicures and what not.
There's a show called Queer Eye For the Straight Guy where the "Fab Five" (five gay men) help make over a straight guy. This show helped start this whole trend.

Queer Eye got old real quick. Those guys are everywhere now, I must be the only one left that likes scruffy men.
Congrats on the four kitties there, Newo!

No, it's a long story that only a few Britains here will have a chance of understanding. Much like most of what I say.
