*PITA- Pain In The ***

Two of my favorite terms, used often in my everyday life.

POBIGTU - Pull over bob i'm gonna throw up

HAHAHA, that's so me - except it's POMIGTU - Pull over MATT I'm gonna throw up. Not usually Matt's fault (if it gets too hot in the back I get nauseous) but sometimes he does it just to f' with my head! PUNK. That's what I get for riding with a 21 year old who still thinks he's in his frat house.

[Phridae]

SOSDD-Same Old S***, Different Day. (my motto)

GGC- Grandma Good Cookie (around here that what we all the elderly that accidently hit there lifeline buttons)

Not an acronym, but when someone has taken a fall, we they have have gravity poisoning. Or had a sudden bout with gravity.

When someone jumps from a plane and their parachute doesnt depoy, they dont die from a fall. Its the sudden stop that gets them. Heh...
