Overheard moments ago from the next cubicle over:
"Antoinette, you don't need to lose weight. If I looked as good as you and you had a feather behind your ear, we'd both be tickled plum to death!"
- Mere "would be ridiculous, but it was from the mouth of someone who is one of my favorite co-workers so it made me

" 1975

Read in an undergraduate exam essay:
"If the women in our culture didn't have equal names as the men, we would be, 'Hey you' or 'that chick over there' or 'that one girl.' "
and it made me wonder, is "chick" common all over the US, or is it predominately a southern thing?

I said it when I lived in Chicago and on the east coast.
Not often, but still.

the word chick annoys me sometimes when it's used out of place.
like this kid was giving a speech at school that was supposed to be really formal and he said chick about four or five times. it was super annoying. he got a bad grade.
oh and in the hall yesterday i overheard some girl say:
"so like i woke up like this morning and like i was just like, 'oh my god i like love myself.'"
