So I was using "mondo" in a sentence and I realized that I no longer remember how or when I picked it up, and I have no idea what kind of word it would spawn from.
Also discuss other slang you enjoy.

Pohatu's going to kill me for this.....
It suddenly hit me (awhile ago granted, but still) that ish had been used a lot in an insulting way. I looked it up and found that "ish" was apparently a word used by rappers as a substitute for "shit" so that they could have their songs played on regular TV and the radio. This was in an effort to appeal to kids and raise sales.

Whatever. In my experience people only say "ish" to mean "sort of".

Oh, where I come from, Ish means "Dick around with the filters."
But then again, I'm from New England, y'know?

Oh, and a BTW, Mondo most likely stems from Tremendous. Kinda stewing together with Jumbo, Monumental, and Monstrous.
It's like Ginormous' older sibling.

Vassar, naturally, is like the farthest point in all of NY from where my people live. Or at least, dang close. I suppose technically, we're farther from the very northeast, but there's no way around it: NY is friggin' gargantuan. Cool, in some ways, since it means everybody has plenty of land to mess around with and there's decent ammounts of variety (Maybe not as great as Cali, but hey, it's not bad.), but it's a total PITA to drive anywhere. Think trying to visit SE NY from SW NY is bad? Try family vacation to Cape Cod.
Still, I was just thinking today about how we'll need to get all the New York folk to meet up at some point (preferably at The Old Library in Olean. Which is just as classy as it sounds.). Probably more doable in April/May, when Cendra and Clicker both will be getting their full licenses. Then there's Kevin and Blood and Tim and myself, and Stephanitis if she ever turns up again...
(Also, apparently, Loogs' old house is an hour and a half from Vassar. Huh.)

Ok, at first I was going to say I was for this, but I think I'll wind up being left out of it if it happens this next year during that time.

Blood, Blood, Blood.... Always a spoilsport.
Well then. Next FALL maybe. I wish there was a good way to make a Fallfish pun out of that, but everything I attempted made it sound like I was suggesting an "Exodites of the Empire State Fishing Trip", which I doubt would be very successful.
Kevin: Poor fishies, why do they have to die? Blood: Death's a happy occasion. Clicker: Only yours, Brett. Lee: *is getting mauled by whatever they brought along for bait and/or gnats* L^2: I don't even eat fish. Lee: Neither does Clicker. She's just in this for the bloodshed. Clicker: If we could fish for beef jerky, that'd be great... *sigh* Cendra: But wouldn't the jerky get wet?
And so on and so forth. Don't ask me where Mr. Hatu fits into things, since I don't know how squeamish he is. On one hand, he's apparently rather cultured. On the other, he's from New England. I'm moderately sure you can't be born east of NYC without having to gut at least one fish in your childhood.

Lmao, watch us be talking one day, and some guy comes across us whose country's meaning of "-ish" means raping his mom or something.
Lol... I just had that whole scenario play through in my head...

To be fair...Yeah, Texas is more substantial. NY just has the power to be infuriating, I swear... Now, I've moved east and live near Syracuse... And Pohatu has moved west, and lives near my old hometown. There may still be some merit to a meetup at some point this May, however! Cendra, Kevin, Tim, and I shall all (hopefully) be in Western NY for a week, so if Pohatu deems it worth the trip up to Jamestown or the like, we'll have roughly eight of us kicking around. (Fleet, Blood, Yellow Skittles (who still lurks), Cendra, Kevin, Tim, Pohatu, myself) Really, that's like half the active members on the site, now that I think about it...
