That cankerblossom on her lip told me that she got around.
Also:
Shne was b eing such a Cankerblossom last week when she slept with that one kid at a party.
a "blossom" of pus that comes out when a canker bursts. Usuallyused only in Shakespearean plays.

A hardo is a person who tries extremely hard at everything. Most times a hardo will try very hard at things that do not require excessive effort. For example, sports practices, gym class, etc.
Wow did you see Jack at practice today? What a hardo!
