Um...What Did You Just Say?

Before we begin, you may have noticed that I changed my format and the text in older entries might be a little hard to read. Just use your pointer to highlight the text and it should show up.

WELCOME/THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Gashi soshite aisatsu, and welcome to Sasori's Rock! Sorry to say that Takusan Kangae (my muse) will not be joining us today. He is attending the 847th annual Muse Costume Ball. Whoever has the most imaginative costume wins a little gold trophy of Calliope, the oldest muse of Greek mythology. Takusan is going as a fried egg. I think he has a good shot at the title.
Anyway, I finally decided to post some things about my life rather than Takusan's, because now that you all know him, I don't have to feel guilty about discussing myself! I know, I know, I have impure morals, I'm a lousy friend, blah blah blah...things I've heard many times before. But this is my blog and therefore I'm allowed to be a little self-centered. If you don't like it, leave *sticks tongue out at those who don't like it*.
Now, let's get started. Today I would like to talk about the strange expressions, figures of speech, and words that my friends and I use in conversation. By friends I am mainly reffering to the Livejournal users Saranie Lisi and Nastygoat08. (This one's for you, guys!) Words/phrases used by myself will be marked with a *, those used by Saranie Lisi will have a #, and Nastygoat's words will have a > before them. Alright then, here we go:

WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?

* Who names their kid____? (ex: "Who names their kid Horatio?")
# PU cow pickles (usage: When something smells bad)
# Coolio (meaning: Cool)
> Coo (meaning: Cool)
# Kaykay (meaning: Okay)
* Well, whaddya gonna do? (usage: When something happens that nothing can be done about.)
* Fudgesicles (usage: In place of a curse word) (ex: When one's toe is stubbed)
> Compooper (meaning: Computer)
# Yeppers-peppers (meaning: Yes) (usage: When one is hyper)
> Quantum mechanics? (usage: In response to the question "You know what I don't understand?")
* Yepperdoodles (meaning: Yes) (usage: When one is hyper)
# Oic (pronounciation: Oh, I see) (usage: written in IM's or notes)
* Y'all (meaning: All of you; You all) (why it's weird: I'm from Michigan)

If any of you out there can think of something weird you say in your family or circle of friends, I'd love to know! Send me a comment and I'll post it here (With credit, of course).

THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND

-Flying. Why do people sit in an airplane and call it flying? And why doesn't this same principal apply to other vehicles, like swimming in a boat or running in a car?
-Paris Hilton. Most other celebrities are famous because of their talents or remarkable accomplishments. Paris is famous (supposedly) because her parents are rolling in it and she coined the phrase "That's hot." (P.S. No offense intended to Paris Hilton or her fans. It was just a joke.)
