Slang Gang Word of the Day



June 12: chronoptimist

A person who always under estimates the time necessary to do something or get somewhere.

"Hey, Cindy. you know my parents are expecting us in 20 minutes."
"No problem. I just have to wash the dishes, take a shower, do my hair, walk the dog and then I'm all good to go. See you in 15."
"You are such a chronoptimist! I'll see you in 45."

**Don't we ALL know someone of these??

    Ooooh you could also use this a chronic optimist - the ever annoying optimistic person that drives you nuts with their cheery thoughts...

    Which is why when dinner is at her house, we never eat before 9:00pm.

    So, I was looking at my email at my friend, Lyniese O's house, and she saw your name come through and was all "Hey! I know that lady! I worked with her!" She told me all sorts of good stuff about you! (heh heh)

    Small world, eh?
