molokhia

Molokhia is an Egyptian soup that tastes very very good. It is sometimes eaten in other Middle Eastern countries, but mainly in Egypt. Molokhia is also known by the term "jew's mallow". Molokhia is somewhat like spinach but it is different. The soup is somewhat slimy but it tastes excellent. You may be able to find Molokhia at Middle Eastern restaurants. Molokhia goes really well with rice and diced potatoes in tomato sauce.

Ahmed: "Hey Adam, do you know where I can get Molokhia here in Lincoln? I've had it up to here with burritos and pizza. I miss the good old masry food"

Adam: "Yeah, man. I know how you feel. Apparently the nearest Middle Eastern restaurant is in Omaha. Good luck dude, and please invite me if you make some dude. I almost forgot what Molokhia was.

fissah

An SBD that can be heard quietly only if there is no noise around. Sometimes, as during testing situations (a la SAT, GRE, ACT, school exams, etc.) a fissah will quietly but steadily be heard, the sound similar to a small broken air valve - "fissssssssss."

Last October while I was taking the SAT, I was straining very hard to concentrate on this reading passage about the artistic ramifications of celery when I heard a fissah. After that, my score must've dropped at least 70 points.

spontaneous combustion

Getting really mad all of a sudden and doing something regrettable. AKA flying off the handle.

Sometimes I feel this urge for spontaneous combustion, but then I try to think to myself, "how will this fix the situation" and "what if I hurt someone, or do something very regrettable." I try to do something else instead, like take a walk or maybe play some basketball or play Halo.

Peja Stojakovic

Quite simply put - the best 3-point shooter in the NBA today. Almost impossible to block, and reminiscent of Larry Bird. Kind of streaky, but almost always very accurate. If he misses it's just barely off.

Peja Stojakovic can really light it up.

Tulanian

A student of Tulane. Can be either really smart or really spoiled and somewhat smart.

I met this Tulanian the other day who kept bragging about his dad's cars. What a jerk.

cellular envy

Getting jealous at that person with that swank new cell phone.

Cellular envy? Naaah, I'm quite fine with my old trusty Nokia. After all, I use my cell phone for communicating, for calling people. I like to keep things separated.

Yahoo Answers

Yahoo's relatively new website for asking and answering questions about whatever you like, within some limitations.

This site is actually kind of addictive if you get into it. You have to be careful to distinguish between good and bad answers though, for example by googling or looking at the answerers ratings.

This website has grown a lot since it first started. There are hundreds of subsections, everything from Lebanon to Horoscopes(I still don't get why people are into that stuff), to Computers and Polls.

Sometimes on Yahoo Answers you see really provocative and interesting questions, but you also sometimes see some really boring or childish questions sometimes too. But overall it's an interesting site and you can also search through the millions of already-asked questions.
