Home-basing 

Instead of calling it being lazy… we shall call it home-basing.

Because that is a verb, people.

And your family appreciates you just taking up space sometimes.

I am going to indulge in some lazy home-basing this Sunday. The kids will be stopping in and out for snacks and the neighbors might pop in for quick visits. Maybe I’ll catch up laundry and make cookies… I don’t know.

Demotional Augmentation 

When you are offered a job that pays better than your previous job, yet has fewer responsibilities.

Lady : "They flew me to San Diego with an expense account, interviewed me and offered double my current rate for half the responsibilities."

Friend: "Girl, grab that job offer! It isnt every day you get a demotional augmentation."

Complicism 

A compliment with a critique tacked on a moment later.

You really know how to shoot amazing photos.

Of course, you only use the auto setting on your ridiculously high end digital camera.

Har har... I apologize for the complicism.

Maverick 

Someone who won't engage emotionally, similar to Maverick in Top Gun after Goose dies.

I really care about him, but he's a Maverick and can't open up these days.

Crungry

When you are cranky and hungry. A bit like hangry, yet more gentle.

I feel crungry.. And if I could just find that granola bar, I would be just fine.

Hesitrigued 

When you're quite interested in someone but they say something odd that causes you pause, you are hesitrigued.

René thought Bob was cute and funny even after he admitted he builds pottery wheels for his ex girlfriends. She felt hesitrigued.

Flattering Yet Creepy 

When an ex does something stalkerlike that is also kind of sweet.

The way you drove by my house 11 times before leaving flowers on my step late last night was Flattering Yet Creepy.
