You may never heard of the Urban Dictionary, but it's a site I visit frequently to check up on certain vernacular words and phrases. I thought I'd highlight a few here that have caught my fancy of late.
- Air Quotes: The act of placing your hands outstretched from either side of your head and making a peace sign that bends up and down within the fingers while using a corporate buzzword.
- Stink Lines: As seen in illustrations or cartoons: Wavy, vertical lines rising above a person, place or thing. Denotes a foul odor.
- Gleek: A projectile sublingual gland secretion in the form of a single stream, usually stimulated by a sour taste or by yawning, sometimes involuntary, often controlled and used as a sly way of spitting on someone.
- Pididdle: A game in which you look for cars with headlight or foglight out (pididdle) or tail light (pedunk) and call it out.
- Roshambo: A game; to kick each other in the balls in turn, last one standing wins.
Ugh. That last one is horrible. Pretend I didn't include that.
