Trying to shake the latest onslaught of rhinovirus, I consider a new direction for this tired, web-beaten path. No more personal crap, no more senseless, irrelevant ranting.... how about something equally meaningless, but which people might actually (pretend) to care about?
How about cultural literacy? How about words that really matter? How about campus slang?
So, I'll need a little help from current campus denizens... folks who are fluent in the dialect.
What are the current terms for... let's see... tired? slammed with work? ready to go out? in trouble? dancing? broke? having sex? Can I say that here?
How about the latest terms for good-looking guy/girl? stupid person? bitch-who-backstabbed-you? funny friend? best friend?
And, more seriously, what's the current language of violence? fighting?
