Hilarious

So I was looking up the meaning of the phrase "damn skippy" because I've heard it a ton lately but had no idea what it meant. I came across a very funny website: urbandictionary.com. The site has tons & tons of words and phrases - very helpful for your average everyday out-of-touch dork like myself. The definitions and examples they give are laugh-out-loud funny! I would definitely check it out. Damn skippy!

Here are some that I thought were quite humorous - the last is my favorite:

1. Social Notworking

The practice of spending time unproductively on social-networking websites, especially when one should be working.

Joe - Hey, Mark is constantly updating his Facebook status, does he not have any work to do?

John - His company obviously doesnt realize how much Social Notworking he is doing!

1. Textagram

Two or more words that are spelled out using the same series of keys in a text message.

Guy is a textagram of Ivy. Anna is a textagram of Bomb.

2. Textagram

The very reason we can't spell fuck you on phones that don't have keyboards.

DUAL YOU!

WTF does that mean?

Oh it's a textagram of fuck. but since I don't have a keyboard it spells dual

3. Textagram

A word invented by morons that don't know how to change their text setting on their phone from "T9" to "Alpha" therefore rendering them incapable of spelling the correct words. Anna: Dude, what the hell did you call me "Bomb" for in that text message earlier? Moron: Oh sorry, it's a textagram my phone pulls up when I try to spell your name. It won't let me spell your name! It's like it has a mind of its own! Anna: Moron. ---------- 1. bad economy An all-purpose excuse that people use during a recession to justify doing things that are below their usual standard. Often these things in reality have little or nothing to do with the economic circumstances. Harry: "You took your girlfriend to Applebee's on Valentine's Day? Pretty weak." Larry: "Whatever man, I didn't have a choice. Bad economy." Senator: "Mr. Paulson, you really want to give the greedy, soulless bankers who caused this mess $700 billion with no strings attached?" Henry Paulson: "Hey guys, bad economy. Just do it." Senator: "Good point. I vote yes." Fred: "Dude, tell me you didn't go home with that broke down 300-pound whale I saw you with at O'Shea's last night." Brendan: "Dude, it's a bad economy. I'll take what I can get." Fred: "Yeah, I guess you have to." 2. bad economy The biggest excuse lazy people use to not go out and look for a job--and then they solicit money from you so they wont have to. A bad economy is the best exuse unidustrious people use to suck you dry.
