enuff

The way "enough" should be written. It's stronger and not as benign-sounding as "enough"

"Anyway, enuff for now, cos I have to be up before dawn. So, need sleep before I escape down to the valley to hopefully get some good photos for my school photography project.

Overclocking

Is when your thinking becomes so fast and so out of control that your brain then tries to compensate by triggering a panic-attack, which means your biggest fear now is you're going to pass out in front of your friends, who all think you're always so wonderfully calm and normal, but actually have no idea that on the inside you're really a total bundle of concealed jitters, nervousness, and weird thinking.

"Oh, God, I can feel myself overclocking inside my head at what you're saying, hope I don't have a panic attack and pass out in front of you!"

now-angel

Another word for a friendly ghost - the departed soul of someone you lived with and loved very dearly

"I so, so wish I had a hotline to my now-angel, so as to ask her where the hell she put that thing before she died two years ago. So frustrating, because it used to live in one place only, but it's not there now!"

second bestness

Second bestness is when you know you are not the first choice if somebody asks you to be someone (wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend) or to do something (i.e. become the boss). You know that someone else was first choice and altough you accept the offer, it rankles and stays wth you forever, turning you into a bitter, overbearing person.

"I think Mum's feeling of second bestness is why she's always so horrible to me - knows Dad wanted to or should have married someone else."

Unepic

A feeling of being generally unwell, but not due to drugs, alcohol, overeating, period pains, influenza, or any other known disease. You also look terrible, but you're not unwell enough for your mum to write a sick note for school, whereas all you want to do, is lie in bed and feel sorry for yourself.

"Mum, i'm feeling really unepic - please write me a sick note for school. Everybody's going to say how ugly I look. Please , Mum!"
