RE: Notes #32 - It's Show and Tell Time
I really learnt something new today, thanks to you. Jokes aside, that is what I find pushes my buttons these days. I guess you are around my age, and I don't know if this applies to everyone, probably not, but I love NEW. It's increasingly hard to find?
Learning new things is what life is about. I know a lot of people around my age (and some even younger) who have no interest in it. They know what they know and that's all they need to know.
I pity them, there is nothing like the sweet obsession of a new interest.
For real, cuz.
(That's a new street lingo I am trialling. I think I will stop now. Time to find a new new interest)
Street lingo is good. I have an 18 year old daughter. She uses one term(?) I love.
Extra
It refers to a wide variety of things.
"Joshua is being so extra" a new boyfriend who bought aher a nice present
"It's very extra" on checking out someone's dubious outfit
"You really are being extra" when I overreact
I have a best friend the majority of people find intimidating, who is going through a tough (re sports injuries post). I told her people would never even think of sympathising with her as she is very extra.
I love slang!
I like it. The word extra is truly extra. For real.
