April 13: Famine Underwear
The garments you wear during a shortage of underwear, when you haven't done laundry in several weeks or months. Usually characterized by lack of elasticity, holes (usually large and awkwardly located), stains, and typically are at least 5 - 10 years old. In some cases soccer shorts, underwear of unknown origin, thongs, bathing suit bottoms, or 'granny panties' can be considered famine underwear, but do not necessarily meet the above criteria.

I haven't done laundry in weeks, so I'm wearing my famine underwear, the boxers I made in home economics in middle school.

**Admit it.  EVERYONE has some of these!**


April 14: text-killer


Phrases and words such as "lol yeah" and "haha ok" that are guaranteed to kill any text conversation.

"r u coming 2 the prty 2nite?"


"no i cant cuz i hav 2 go 2 a family reunion"


"haha ok"


"way to use a text-killer... now wat do i say?"

**And now, you know how to end a text convo**

And,.....in honor of tax day:

April 15: It pays the taxes
The replacement saying for "It pays the bills" in reference to writing off a job as merely a means of income, and in no way an enjoyable or lucrative way of making a living.

Due to the increase in taxes "It pays the taxes" takes the place of "It pays the bills" while it takes a second job or additional income to actually pay the bills.
"How's your new job going?"
"It's going ... it pays the taxes. I'm looking for a part-time job now to pay the bills"

**So sad that it's so true.**

January 8: Nearsighted Date

As opposed to a blind date, where you have no idea what the other person looks like, a nearsighted date is one where you've seen a photo or chatted via web cam before meeting in person.
This can often lead to disappointment if one person or the other has supplied misleading documentation.

"Well, I saw her profile pics on Facebook, so it was more of a nearsighted date than a blind date"

"That's the last nearsighted date I ever go on...her profile pic must have been 5 years, 3 hair colors and 2 kids ago."

"Went on a nearsighted date last night. The picture he emailed me must have been from before he quit the gym."

**I am grateful I am not in the dating game fo sho!**

December 16: immaculate congestion

December 17: Chipmunk gift

A seemingly generous present that will benefit the giver as much as the receiver.

On an old Chipmunks Christmas album, Alvin, Simon, and Theodore give Dave a gift. He's overwhelmed with their generosity until he discovers it's an empty bag, which the Chipmunks say is for him to fill with presents and give back to them.

My friend gave me such a Chipmunk gift this year. She bought me a CD by HER favorite group and then asked to copy it because she's too cheap to buy her own CD AND a present for me.

That back bedroom at my mom's house is freezing! I hate staying there when we visit. Is it too much of a Chipmunk gift if I buy her a space heater for Christmas?

My husband took me to the Monster Truck Expo for my birthday. Jeez, what a Chipmunk gift. What was he thinking?
