Slang Gang Word of the Day - Triple Threat
August 22: prefill
When, in cases of extreme thirst, a person using a soft-drink fountain fills the beverage container, chugs it, and then fills it again before sitting down to eat.
Person 1: Hey man, why did it take you so long to get a soda?
Person 2: I was prefilling my cup; I've been thirsty all day.
**And for the love of all that's holy - DON'T bogart the soda fountain space!
August 23: I take my leave
A polite way of saying goodbye.
John: The coffee was great Mark, my compliments.
Mark: You are being too kind. Do you want some cookies?
John: I'm sorry, but I have a meeting in a few minutes, I take my leave.
**I guess manners are making a comeback?
August 25: manther
The male version of a cougar; an older man who preys on younger women.
"Mr. Smith is such a manther, did you see his new girlfriend? She's got to be less than a quarter of his age. Awesome."
"That Smith geezer was hitting on my granddaughter at the banquet. What a hideous manther."
**Michael Douglas anyone?
Thank you. I'm glad that someone understands my hatred for their stupid bogarting of the fountain machine space.
ReplyDeleteI love "manther" so so funny!
ReplyDeleteAs the owners of a convenience store I would like to slap all prefillers. At least now I have an official, less profane name that I can call them!
ReplyDeleteOnce again, slang word comes through!
So the Manther and the Gold-Digger find true love at last! ;)
ReplyDelete.....I always feel bad about prefilling...unless it's all-you-can-drink....I don't approve!...OK...maybe just one sip!!!
These posts always make me chuckle!
ReplyDeleteI think "pre-fillers" automatically qualify as bogarters. Fill it up and move along people!
I love me a good manther.
