Things to Bring Back

I'm often making lists. I'm not going to apologize for that. I'm cool with it. Today's blog entry will also be in the form of a list. A list of words/phrases/things that I think should be brought back or newly introduced into the vernacular (for those of you not in the know - that's language, baby).

So here are some words/phrases/things that I am working my hardest to bring back (in no particular order):

1. Tight: meaning drunk. Found in 1930s detective novels. It seems classy somehow.
2. Freakshow: As in, "Stop being such a freakshow." It's a good one. I don't know exactly how this got into my vocabulary, but I know that I love it.
3. Uber: a qualifier, to make things more...like, "This class is boring. No, wait, this class is UBER boring."
4. Seriously: Seriously. I use this when I am making a point and I really, seriously mean it.
5. Totally: This means literally. In the literal sense, not the figurative sense that people use it and now has become acceptable. As a protest because people refuse to use literally correctly, I use totally. No, seriously, I totally do that.
6. Buddy: An affectionate term of endearment.
7. Sweet!: This one crept into my everyday speech as well and now, like freakshow, I know about 5 other people who say it regularly. I love to have a positive effect on people.
8. Cracktastic: I need to bring this one back again. It's like a double back. As in, "That girl's outfit was cracktastic. I wish I could wear hot pants and band-aids and still look good."
9. Orgy: (in the British usage) as in, "There's an orgy of violence." At least that's the way Andy heard it used and frankly. That's alright with me. I like orgy as a synonym for "a lot".
