Day 4
The Challenge: Learn Street Speak, innit.
Challenger: Ali D (non twitterer)
I embraced this challenge, after all, I want to know what the Costcutter kids* are really saying about me when I go buy milk at 10pm.
Today was the day I would bust their code.
I headed over to Urban Dictionary and wasn’t gonna leave till I had at least three insults to chuck back…**
After searching through pages and pages and pages of dodgy acronyms, text speak and coined phrases such a la chop (I’m scared), I had three suitably offensive additions to my vocabulary…
Here’s what I got for ya…
Critical Ass
Someone whose ass has got so fat it’s literally busting out of their Miss Selfridge jeans.
I say and then run: “You might wanna lay off the Blue WKD and monster munch, Critical Ass!”
Overchicked
A gross boy who lands a hot girl
I say and then run: “No, I wont buy you 10 Mayfairs, you little overchicked runt!”
Tag Hag
Clothing tag lover. Too attached to remove.
I say and then run: “Taking that back to JD Sports? You skanky tag hag”
I also learned:
I like high 10s.
** Inside my head, obviously.
** teenagers that hang outside the mini mart by my flat
That’s all for today. I feel 15. Yay.
ps. Feel free to add your own insults below…
I love this idea for a challenge – I am doing something similar in January… i am completing a random selected challenge each day of the month. Feel free to check out the list at http://firachamo.ning.com/notes
I look forward to tracking how you go during the year!
Ok here’s one thought up by the loving dept next to you….
kneel at your desk for an entire day, while wearing the lovely red, maribu-lined cowboy hat on Naoises lamp (look up at it… oh yeah)… AND reaplying the creepy Vanilla-Spice lotion on your hands for the entire work day (once every half hour – no washing it off)!!!!
can you handle it?
As part of your NY resolution to be a nicer person , I challenge you to be genuinely nice to everyone you meet during your day. Instead of being your grumpy old self, you have to say hello, smile and honestly compliment everyone you meet throughout the day, particularly strangers.
The possibility of wishing everyone a happy new year should be your weapon of choice and the success of this mission will be evaluated by the number of smiles or positive comments that you will get out of the experience.
Extra points can be made by starting random conversations.
Go on wifey, brighten the life of those around you, thank the bus driver for taking you safely to work, thank the street sweeper for making the pavement so spotless and greet the security guards at the entrance of the building. Offer your seat to the elderly on the train, help that pregnant woman carry her suitcase up the stairs of the tube station: the opportunities are endless!
