Phraseology

Do you ever pick up fun phrases from friends, sort of without realizing it? Or sometimes by making a conscious effort to use their "catch phrases"? I find myself doing this often, probably because I love interesting words. I remember when I was dating Ben, I thought it was so cute when he said "spendy" instead of pricey or expensive.

My newest phrase is going to be "bizzo." I love it! I have an Australian friend that uses that term, and it was something I hadn't heard before. It is essentially a shorter, less formal version of business. Example: "Let's get together for a planning session and talk over all of the baby shower bizzo." :P

What are the phrases/terms you've picked up? I'll share more as I think of them.

Here's one that makes me giggle: Totally tongue-in-cheek--when I do something worth celebrating: "Tick, tick, tick, BOOM! I'm the bomb!"

And another: "Flarbing"/to flarb--totally relaxing Ex: "I felt sick on Tuesday, so I flarbed around all day and watched movies."

Oh...this one is too funny. When Ben was an Army Ranger, there was a sergeant trying to motivate one of his soldiers to pass a marksmanship challenge. He yelled at the soldier: "Who's the party that rocks the party soldier?!" and he required the soldier to yell back, "I'm the party that rocks the party, Sir!" The sergeant did this over and over again until his soldier had been sufficiently pumped up to go master his objective. Totally hilarious!
