I wish there was a saying for this! Giveaway!

Have you ever had a moment where every word or phrase you know just can’t justify the awesomeness, weirdness, or sheer velocity of amazing that you want?  If so check out urban dictionary.com.  I love it.  It’s self described as “the slang dictionary that YOU wrote”.  It’s got pages and pages of words, phrases, and acronyms that you can use everyday.  If you think of something totally rad and wish you could share your rad word or phrase you can submit it on urban dictionary.com and people can vote on it by giving it thumbs up or thumbs down.  Here are some of my favorites:
multislacking
1911 up, 82 downlove it hate it

Doing multiple slacker-esque things concurrently.

Email Bankruptcy
1691 up, 736 downlove it hate it

When you are so inundated with email, both genuine email and spam, that you have to delete everything and start over again.

workahol
124 up, 15 downlove it hate it

What workaholics are addicted to.

awesomeness
1762 up, 577 downlove it hate it

1. An unmeasurable amount of awesomenimity something can produce.
2. Something that qualifies as awesome.
3. With sarcastic use, means that something is not awesome at all. A lower and calmer tone of voice is used, and is generally followed by derogatory physical action such as a shrug or eye rolling.

Seriously check it out.  I’m going to be multislacking and declare Email bankruptcy because I’m such a workahol that is overload on awesomeness

My current fav is wwjkd.

What Would James Kirk Do? When stuck in a life-threatening, impossible situation with no realistic plausible means of escape, only a plan thought up by James "Jim" Kirk would work.

I have all sorts of favorite slang words and phrases that tend to pop out of my mouth. I like bad news bears. Such as, "Having more coffee is bad news bears. It will make me all jittery now." Or there's the whole awesome sauce. I think of it as awesome with kick.

Urban Dictionary Lookup,

Broadway: 42 up, 54 down

In poker, an Ace-high straight (10-J-Q-K-A).

Bruce Lee: I hit the broadway straight on the river.

Jose Contreras: You lucky bastard, I had a king-high straight. If you weren't a kung-fu expert I would cut you.

On a different note....Broadway songs totally remind me of High School

Anyhooters - My daughter's updated version of "Anyhoo" (which her grandmother says on a regular basis) is "Anyhooters".

Yien = maybe. Combination of 'yes' and 'no' in German (yes is Ja, pronounced yah, no is nein, pronounced nine, so Yien, pronounce yine, should = maybe (yes/no).

Are you ready for lunch? Yein. Do I look fat? Yein.

Dang! I submitted my word but forgot to leave a comment! My word was "what's-his-bucket" to be used when you're having a brain freeze and can't remember someone's name. :)
