Pexel

A gentleman's guide to the 21st century slang people say.

1. Get the f*ck out of my way

a. Prithee, translate the fornication that lies between myself and my destination about a horizontal axis until it no longer impedes me from reaching my destination.

2. That was solid (said after someone performs an action).

a. The action you have just performed could best be described as tangible.

3. That’s not cool bro

a. That which hath exited your mouth is of a higher temperature than that which surrounds it, thus rendering it nonviable for conversation amongst male comrades.

4. I shit you not

a. I do not release excrement in the presence of this subject matter unless said excrement is the excrement of truth.

5. Laughing my ass off

a. What you have recently stated, be it a joke or perhaps a witty slur, has amused me to such an extent that my posterior region is detaching itself from my body.

6. It’s cold as hell

a. If I were to approximate the current heat divergence between my epidermis and the external environment, it would be the antithesis of biblical representations of the underworld.

7. What’s wrong?

a. I do beseech you.

b. Prithee, reveal those issues that bring upon thee such compunctions.

8. Yup

a. Quite so.

9. Be right back

a. I am taking leave; however, I will return to my current position within an amount of time best described as minimal.

10. Bros before hoes

a. Please note that in any decision, especially that which regards one’s prospective actions for the evening, one must grant priority to male comrades and their insights over women that barter their bodies for financial gain.

11. Shut the front door

a. Regarding the passageway through which one would be most likely to enter this domain, I do entreat you to secure it firmly to its adjacent structure.

12. I don’t give a f*ck

a. Because of my lack of interest in the discussed subject matter, I will not provide you, or anyone else for that matter, with a tangible object representing the physical act of coitus.

13. 0 fucks given

a. If you were to compare my interest level currently to the act of procreation, and then quantify it, the quantified expression would lack the capacity to be labeled as a divisor.

14. Am I right?

a. Given the argument that I have just delineated before you regarding recent topics of discussion, do you believe that I am in the correct?

15. Wait up

a. Halt in the general upward direction so as to allow our relative distance to equate to a negligible amount.

16. Let’s do it

a. Let us partake in the action we have deemed apt during our recent conversations regarding such.

17. God damn it

a. May the deity that the church of Christ considers most grand condemn the action, thought, person, or object around which our conversation revolves or to which it pertains.

18. Hurry the fuck up!

a. Increase the rate at which the act of fornication traverses about the positive y axis

19. 420 blaze it

a. *RETRACTED FOR OFFENSIVE REASONS*

20. Cool story bro

a. I deem that chain of events you have recently described, in which you have partaken and presumably witnessed, to be suitable in entertainment value; however, I harbor immense disdain towards these events, and I am in utter disbelief at your incompetence.

21. Make me a sandwich

a. Transfer yourself into the culinary domain and, whilst there, forge for me the delectable treat of beef and bread, eponymous to the Earl of Sandwich.

22. Good luck

a. Fare well, and may the fates be kind to you.

23. That’s sick

25. How’s it going?

a. How dost thou fare, as of the morrow of this glorious day?

a. Would I find in your possession the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future which is regarded as a whole?

27. What time is it?

a. Would you be so kind as to inform me of the progress of the Earth’s rotation about its axis, preferably as a fraction of a 24 hour period?

28. Don’t ask me!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

521
Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
