curry addiction

the craving for increasingly hot curry. What used to seem fiery, now seems bland.
An acquired taste, not really an addiction as some researchers claimed.

washcloth boogaloo

swiping your armpits with wet washcloth instead of showering in a half assed attempt to mask B.O. that’s too overpowering to be hidden by deodorant alone.
