A Taste o' Texas

[mere1975]

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.

- Mere "my other cube neighbor just said, 'If you're lyin', you are dyin''" 1975

I love using all the out-of-date slangs/expressions. *still uses chick*


guess that makes me old school











or maybe just old

[NerfHerder]

I use chick as the female equivalent to guy.

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.'"
