Gloatbook

What Facebook has become, specifically, a forum to gloat about your amazing life. This includes uploading too many baby or wedding photos, status updates about travel experiences, and pictures of food recently consumed.

Everyone I know: You should check out my Facebook page. I have all my wedding photos there! And an ultrasound of my fetus! And pictures of my hotel room in Bali! And the ice cream sundae I just ate that had chocolate sauce and whipped cream all over it. OMG, my life is so amazing!!!

Me: Gloatbook

fast casual dining

Eating at a restaurant that is somewhere between a fast food restaurant and a casual restaurant. The food is made quickly, but the menu is healthier and the food is of a higher quality than in a fast food restaurant.

i'm in the mood for fast casual dining tonight, cuz we don't have much time but I don't want anything greasy.

cell-centered

The state of being overly focused on one's cellular telephone. Applies to people who are constantly sending text messages, answering telephone calls, tweeting, or updating Facebook in social situations.

Be prepared to be ignored if you go out for dinner with Alyssa. That girl is totally cell-centered.

Treebook

A book made of paper, predecessor to the ebook.

Because I love trees, I'm buying ebooks instead of treebooks. Okay, it's really because I love showing off my iPad. Still saving trees, though!

kamikaze come-on

A pick-up attempt doomed to fail. Usually occurs when the person being picked-up has much higher mate value than the one making the attempt (e.g., much hotter). Clearly, it's a suicide mission.

Jenn: Is that guy really trying to talk to those models?!?

Krisi: Kamikaze come-on. Sooooo not gonna work.
