I invented a new word today: Sandwish.
Like at this moment, my sandwish is avocado and tomato on pumpernickle bread.
Other new idea: you know how we’re always discussing which beauty school is the best and stuff? We should start calling the ones that aren’t that great, “pretty schools.”

To further clarify, I present Laundry Day Fig.
This is my new term I invented, it’s kind of an alter-ego: it’s your laundry day self. The bummy, I have to leave my house but refuse to shower side of yourself that occasionally surfaces.
I started saying this after a few interactions with my [JUNKIE] neighbor who I think thinks I’m two different people. I’d seen him plenty of times with Figaro, to the point where he noticed Fig got a haircut one day. Then I’d also see this neighbor sometimes when I was going out on the town, sans Figaro (it does happen) and we’d say, “hi” aswell. But then one day I was going out on the town with Figaro and we ran into this neighbor at the corner store. I said, “hi” and the guys was like, “oh! I didn’t know you had a dog!” I was like, “say whaaa?”
My only conclusion is that he thinks party time Megan and laundry day Megan are two different people!
Then the phrase was solidified when I said it to my friend @hilldawgg because I kept seeing this guy around my neighborhood who looked like a friend of hers. The thing was, her friend is a very stylish type of guy but the guy I kept seeing was more like wearing basketball shorts and stuff…like what you might wear if it’s laundry day! So I asked her if her friend lived near me, turns out he doesn’t. So now there is a laundry day version of her friend running willy nilly through the streets.
Feel free to pass this on and talk about everybody’s laundry day selves.
Call it a vast linguistic conspiracy: proponents of the major conspiracy theories of the day — the truthers, the birthers, the deathers — share a suffix that makes them all sound like whackdoodles. “It looks like conspiracy theorists might acquire a permanent suffix in -er, just like political scandals now have a permanent suffix in -gate,” Victor Steinbok, a frequent contributor to the American Dialect Society’s online discussion board, observed recently in that forum. But unlike -gate, which merely names a scandal, he later noted, -er “makes fun of the participant” as an obsessive, “almost foaming at the mouth” advocate of a fringe political belief.
I won’t make fun of you if you want to be a Rascaler.
RIP homeboy, RIP.
What’s done cannot be undone,” moaned Lady Macbeth in her famous sleepwalking scene. If she woke up in the 21st century, she would be pleased to discover that whatever can be done can be undone, too.
A word that means the opposite of another is an antonym; a word that looks as if it means one thing but means quite another could be called a phantonym, and warrants wariness.
