girl friend
Written with a space between "girl" and "friend," this term means a "female acquaintance" who goes to the same school/college/job as you. However, when written without any space, this term means "fiancée in a romantic relationship".
During Chemistry class in my first year of college, I sat next to a girl friend who wore a white collared shirt and a chequered pleated skirt, complete with her black JANSPORT backpack — like a high school girl.

tattoo
A metaphoric slang term for something "plumbed" onto yourself, that you cannot easily remove within the foreseeable future. For example, your preference to read physical books over e-books due to screen time limits imposed by parents.
My love for physical books is like a tattoo; it’s something I can’t easily change, especially once my parents set rigid strict screen time limits.

Ever since I started playing Emily is Away, I can't stop laughing at how they turned Facebook into Facenook and even made up that Crazy Facenook Disease!
