PHRASES
"Let's roll!" This means, "Let's go" or "I'd like to leave now." My husband bugs me about this all the time. He quotes it to me with a deep cowboy voice. Maybe I'll change my phrase to "Let's ride!"
"Break free from society." This means do your own thing, baby. I used to use it a lot in high school. (Tragic, that I treasure it still.)
"Chaps my hide." This means "that is upsetting me greatly".
"Don't sweat the small stuff." A favourite of my mother's.
"I hate rabbits." Before PETA shows up at my doorstep, let me clarify! This is an utterly useless phrase used while sitting in front of a campfire and the smoke has just traveled your way and is choking you slowly. You use this phrase and supposedly the smoke should go someplace else. Look, I was a kid. We thought stuff like that worked. <g>
"SBD (Silent But Deadly)": Not that I'm proud of it, but this was in reference to wayyyyyy too many bean burritos and their charming after-effects. My sister and I used to love to torture each other with this phrase, even when it didn't apply.
"Lava Lamp": Fun to look at, but not that bright. (I have to thank my ex-roomate for that one. I got it from her.)
"Mental Margarita": I find it incredibly ironic that a woman who doesn't drink has more than one reference to alcohol. Anyway, this is when you allow your brain a momentary lapse of intelligence.
"Oddly compelling.": A situation or food that both draws and repulses you at the same time.
