So, about slang and new terms - I promised to focus on it)I suppose you lot know the great sites "Word Spy" and "Urban Dictionary"? There you can find the "new terms that have appeared multiple times in newspapers, magazines, books, Web sites, and other recorded sources."
There are many pretty funny words there) You want to know what are the
"refrigerator rights""refrigerator rights" (Defines the depth, closeness, and intimacy of a relationship. Friends with refrigerator rights can help themselves to anything in your refrigerator without asking permission.), "ego wall",
"wikiality" "wikiality" (Reality as defined by a consensus, particularly in a collaborative endeavor such as Wikipedia.), "football widow", "to google"?)
Let's play a game!)RulesRules:
1) I give you those strange terms and you try to guess what they mean)) It's difficult, yep, but also interesting) It's not a test of your power of apprehension or anything) It's just for fun)
2) If no one can guess, I give you the right answer (updating the post). The right answer is taken from the "Word Spy" or "Urban Dictionary" sites - I see no reason to keep back the links, because the most fervent fellows can always surf the web anyway)
3) If anyone wants to cheat by looking the term up in the dictionaries - well, your choice, but what's the point of playing then? Feel free to use those sites if you're interested in those strange new words, but don't ruin the fun then)Ready? Steady? Go!
