Bork Bork Bork!
From today's "For Better Or For Worse" -
Now, anyone who reads this regularly knows that Lynn Johnston has a penchant for creating highly improbable teen slang (see: "foob," "roadside"). So it was with a healthy dose of skepticism that I regarded the word "borked" as a currently-in-use term signifying inebriation.
Imagine my surprise, then, when a quick search yielded a bona fide definition. Furthermore, I was treated to an audio clip informing me just how to use it.
I'm very disappointed with myself, chickens. This is evidently a term that's used fairly frequently, and I had NO IDEA. That Lynn Johnston (or more likely, Lynn's crack team of researchers) got ahold of it first leaves me feeling deeply, deeply conflicted, and "borked" isn't even a word that I would USE, truth be told.
Maybe it's time I took a little break from FBOFW.
I leave you with two shots. Here's me and the mightily awesome John Powhida, taken on New Year's Eve:
I should note that I am stone cold sober, lest any of you get the wrong idea. J.Po just brings out the party girl in me.
And here's the Fierce Jungle Princess Sammy, mauling her prey:
Grrrr!
I warned you all about this digital camera thing...
