| 2. | V.I.P. | ||

V.I.P. is an acronym for "Vanilla Ice Paraphrase." It means changing one small part of something and claiming it as your own. Just like Vanilla Ice did in his hit song "Ice Ice Baby." He used a another songs melody and claimed it as his own because of one small change. "Shall I compare thee to a summer's morning?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of June, And summer's lease hath all too short a date". When a person is confronted with the plagiarism of the poem above the accuser might say, "Just because you V.I.P. a poem doesn't make it yours!" |

| 7. | shallow | ||
|
An adjective used to describe basically anyone attractive. SEE, pretty people MUST be shallow, huh? In a lot of cases, this is true, but not because of their appearance. A lot of people who don't fit society's standard of pretty are as shallow as a petri dish.
Also used to describe people who can pick out any guy/girl to ask out or talk to just by looking at them. "I am NOT shallow, I like people with depth!! Nevermind that my main concern is how I look and appear to other people!"
-Paraphrase of speech given by an undeniably deep person... well the true stuff that wasn't said, anyways. |
