Lady Chevalier's definitions
Despite all evidence to the contrary, pulchritudinous is used to describe a person of great physical attractiveness. No one is quite sure why this is, because the word *sounds* like something unpleasant on the bottom of your shoe.
This is possibly due tothe fact that it shares sounds with words such as sepulchre, repulsive, cretin, lewd, and pus.
It's a good word to use when you'd like someone to *think* you're insulting them.
It is in no way synonymous with lugubriousness. But it should be.

My, but you're looking pulchritudinous today!
Firt kid: You're so pulchritudinous.
Second kid: Mooooooooom, Jimmy's calling me names!
First kid: *righteously indignant* I gave you a compliment!

Get the pulchritudinousmug. by Lady Chevalier March 23, 2005
Get the spring breakmug. Often used to mean "don't have any," it literally means the opposite.
ain't was originally a contraction of "am not" or "are not," and should only be used in the first person. However, as it has still not been accepted into "proper" English like its counterparts won't and can't, few people see any problem with further "misuse" of the word.
"I ain't got no money" literally means "I am not got no money," which makes no sense at all, but is nonetheless understood to mean "I have no money."
It is an example of a double negative, where the contraction "n't" and the following "not" should cancel each other out. However, very few people realize (or care) about this, and the phrase remains in common use.

Wow! I had no idea that accurately graphing parabolas could be so easy! This TI-83 is my new best friend!
Alice, I can't believe you did that! Wow! You're my new best friend!
That was SO much fun! Rock climbing is my new best friend!
You didn't pick me first for your kickball team yesterday. I hate you now. But that's okay. Sally is my NEW best friend.

Get the my new best friendmug. An unfunny or annoying person.
The term was originally used to refer to a funny person or situation, but is used sarcastically so often that the original meaning is all but lost.
Similar to laugh riot.

Get the barrel of laughsmug. As conducive to giggling as fresh, hot bread (with butter) is to eating. You just can't help it.
A feel-good moment or situation. The laughter equivalent of Campbell Soup's mmm mmm good.

Get the giggliciousmug. Apparently not prep, but more of a Prep Lite. (I'd never be able to tell the difference, but whatevs. :))
It's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Not exactly my style, but it's got some cute shirts, especially if you're into pastels and glittery cartoon turtles. I'm not, but there's no accounting for taste.

Girl wearing chalk yellow babydoll t-shirt with an abominably cute monkey holding glittery yellow bananas: Guess where I went shopping today?
