Friday 5 for October 20: On the subway walls: As usual the questions originate from Scrivener's Friday 5 blog.
1. Which words do you use too frequently?
- Swear words when I am frustrated, startled or angry... the two common ones starting with F and Sh.
2. Which words do you use not enough?
I apologize.
3. Which words have you recently learned?
- Rakkyo - I thought it was "Ronkyo". I recently found out that ronkyo does not exist but instead it is called Rakkyo.
4. Which words do you love to hear?
"Chuckle" - it's cute when I hear it spoken in audio books or podcasts. I think about fuzzy little creatures that purr similar to Tribbles in Star Trek, even though it means a somewhat subdued laugh.. Chuckles.
FREE STUFF - Yep, that gets my attention.
FREE PARKING - self explanatory
FREE ADMISSION - yep!
FREE STREAMING - yep... Pluto TV, Tubi TV, iHeartRadio, etc.
FREE - by itself is generally good too.
5. Which new slang terms do you especially like or dislike?
Some of these may be new, but I suspect and know several are old:
Like:
Legit - legal, legitimate
Doh! - what?!! Oh NO! (adopted from The Simpsons)
Cluckers - I made this up and use it... chickens!
Puka (Hawaii) - hole
Dislike:
Brah (local Hawaii) - I hate being called that... "Eh brah"
Unkle (local Hawaii) - I am not your uncle.
