American Vocabulary that I’m Totes going to Steal.

American Vocabulary that I’m Totes going to Steal.
Carly Jacobs

Last week was insane. Sarah from Yes and Yes touched down on Monday, on the only flight out of Wellington (or anywhere!) that made it through the ash cloud into Melbourne. From the moment she arrived we pretty much didn’t stop talking unless we were eating, sleeping or working insanely side by side.

We recorded a podcast answering all your questions, which will be available shortly. In the mean time, here are a few choice phrases I learned from Miss Von that I’m adding to my vocabulary.

That totally kills my lady boner – Refers to a quality or behaviour in a man, that results in a woman losing her sense of arousal. Such as being arrogant or ‘forgetting’ their wallet on a date.

Oh stink! – Like ‘That sucks!’

Totes inapprops – Totally inappropriate.

Cute! – Anything and everything that is pleasing.

I know! – Like ‘Me too!’

We also had the fabulous blogger/reader dinner on Friday night which was crazy fun. I got to meet the gorgeous Nessbow after we’ve been reading each other’s blogs for years and hung out with the beautiful Clare of Checks and Spots.

It was a mad week but totally awesome.

And Sarah is correct. We are nose twins. See above for photographic evidence.

    That photo of you two is the cutest! You really do have the same nose. Glad to hear you are picking up some culture from your international friends, it’s always important to broaden one’s horizons…

    Those are the sweetest pics ever.  Also, “lady boner” will certainly be making a regular appearance in my vocabulary from now on.

    Hee hee I was totally going to say that “stink” is NZ! It can also be said more depressively rather than shocked in the phrase “stink one”. I hear that a lot in my job… “Miss, can we watch a movie?” “No” “Stink one” LOL

    You two are adorable, you could definitely pass as sisters, methinks. Sarah also kinda looks like Alex Mack in the last picture.

    ‘Stink’ is NZ slang, eh.

      It would be! She just spent the last few months in New Zealand!

    You guys are totally adorable together! And you are right – you are nose twins! I think I’m going to have to start using “that totally kills my lady boner” as well. That’s some awesome slang right there.
