G-words Urban Dictionary

wow i just got lost on urban dictionary for forty five minutes and i feel so much dumber for it. As all internet tangents seem to, it started with an innocuous Google search. I was searching the word "g33k". I crossed paths with G33k Sp33K a few months ago in a fiction book i was reading about cyber hacking and bullying. Google lead me to Urban Dictionary and it was all downhill from there. UD has a left sidebar with a list of words that are before and after the searched word alphabetically. How could i resist? I randomly clicked on a few different G33K words and then scrolled up the list a bit farther and came to all these G-word abbreviations, almost none of which i recognized. The only abbreviation i knew out of 30 words was g/f (which i assume means girlfriend, but I'm probably wrong)... I arbitrarily clicked through them and thought I'd share a few so we could all be up on the new slang out there. I avoided all G33K Sp33K words because they make my brain hurt and i think using them makes your social standing instantly lower.

GOY: Go Off Yourself. A nice alternative to G.F.Y, and also slightly more offensive.

G.L.A.J. An abbreviated way to say Go Lick a Jew.

And then i was shocked when i came across "G.NA", which is the stage name for a girl we went to school with who became a famous singer in Korea. It totally looks like she added this entry herself.

The Canadian born South Korean singer currently under Cube Entertainment. She is well known for her great looks and beautiful singing voice. She is fluent in also English and is very popular throughout the world.

Person A: Wow, who is that hot, but equally talented singer in that video?

Person B: That's G.NA of course.

This one is rude but hilarious:

My favorite find was on the Word of the Day section though: "get an inbox "

Derived from the expression "get a room." When couples constantly leave romantic, mushy or suggestive messages on each other's Facebook wall for everyone else to see, someone else may tell them to "get an inbox already" and carry on in private.
Sadie: I love you SO FUCKING MUCH ahhhhhhh Im gonna die from how much I love you <3 <3 <3
Ian: me too bby

Sabrina: holy shit guys, get an inbox.

Well that's it for Sharing is Caring hour. I hope you enjoyed our G Words session. I also hope this eliminates the need for anyone else to waste any precious time on Urban Dictionary! You're welcome!

the ultimate twofer.

I'd like to tell you about my Thursday night twofer. But first I feel like I must explain Twofer or else you might miss the point. I wasn't sure how to define it as it's a fake word, so I hit google for some research. Nothing but cold hard factoids for this blog.

My first find was a widely trusted source, especially for trendy words and phrases. Here's what Urban Dictionary has to say: A Twofer is when you get two things for the effort, price, time, or space of one.
I feel like one source isn't enough for such crucial information, and I don't want my bibliography to look too scarce so I checked out a site that's a little more serious, and has a bit more clout. TheFreeDictionary.com reports that Twofer is an informal noun and defines it as: An offer, a deal, or an arrangement in which a single expense yields a dual return.
OK, now that I feel like we are now on the same page, let's move on to the point of my story. A couple of weeks ago I stumbled upon a recipe for Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies. BINGO! Twofer, i thought to myself. A cookie within a cookie, oh my god! Both the recipe title and accompanying pictures were enticing, however I decided to pass on it as I had oatmeal raisin cookies on my baking agenda.

This recipe haunted me for the next two weeks. I thought about it every time i thought about cookies (hourly) and each time i was at the grocery store. Finally I gave in and picked up the necessary ingredients. I decided yesterday that it was time to get project OSCCC underway. Today is Performance Evaluation day at work so I reckon everyone will appreciate a cookie (or two).

There is nothing much to say about the recipe itself, it's more about the assembly process. Essentially you take two scoops of cookie dough and smush it around an oreo. As per my usual insaneness I spent way too much time in front of the oven watching the first batch cook. I sit in anxiously hoping the cookies won't spread into each other. Nothing kills me more than cookies that touch when baking, i think that's a leftover fear from when I used to hate my food touching on my plate. My fears are not realized, the spread is minimal. The cookies come out nice and high and you can just tell that there's something magical about them. But until you bite or cut one in half the magicalness stays a secret. Of course I had to taste test and they are scandalously and deliciously delightful. I will have to put a sign up near the plate at work warning everyone that they are a Diet Wrecker. Five bucks says they're all gone by lunch time.

PS, the recipe came from this lovely blog called Picky Palate, here's the link: http://picky-palate.com/2011/01/06/oreo-stuffed-chocolate-chip-cookies/
