[HPFGU-OTChatter] US Slang Expressions

[ambiree at students.bradley.edu]

Slang is interesting and I always seem to be behind the times....but i do have 
some alternatives...

the people I work with and hang out with have a good ol' time with me in that 
they refer to any of my slang as an "Amberism"

You see, I gave up swearing a year ago on a slight bet of sorts.  It started 
out as 2 weeks, but if I said a swear before the appointed time, I got an extra 
week, 2 if I said the mother of all dirties....so my favorite expression for 
swearing is now "Mother chicken"

As far as slang terms....hmm, must think as a lot of my slang is work related 
or HP related---no joke, if i find a way to make an HP reference in my notes 
during boring lectures I do.

in fact one of my friends, if I won't get in on the game will say "don't be a 
muggle" to me...however...

"I'm tagged"--dead tired or got caught

"i'm ripped" or "i'm torn"--running ragged

"you're joshing" -- joking

"alive serious" as opposed to "dead serious" --no HP pun intended

"honking the horn" --blatant cheating in a relationship

will think of more as I see other replies
