So-Called Friend 

Some guy who thinks life is all about sex, getting fuckered on alcohol, weed, and having a lesbian girlfriend while still calling himself a Christian. This guy also claims to have dropped out of uni because he was on the wrong course, obviously he DROPPED out, why? Because he failed.
But yet still has the decency to call former friends a flop.
Fuck you dumbass, my life is better off without you.
I won't see you in hell, also I wont see you with any qualifications either. Ha!

Someone who you think is your friend but turns out not to be, can be classed as a Frenemy or Backstabber

So-called style 

Those girls who attempt to be preppy and fall into style by wearing North face (or other brand) fleece jackets, carry knock-off designer purses that are ridiculously huge, wear Ugg boots with the "fur" showing, wear moccasins, wear their high school's t-shirts, sweatshirts, and sweatpants, have thick neon colored headbands in their hair, wear an atrocious up-do in their hair and it's held together with 10+ bobby pins, own something embroidered, and have fake bake tans. These girls also strive to look dressy when going to nice places, but are not recognizable outside of dressy affairs because of the usual sloppy appearance. These girls often criticize others for looking messy or gross even when they are not dressed nice. Also, these girls tend not to be the most hygienic. This is more common with girls in private, uniform wearing high schools. A subcategory of preppy.
so-called style girl: omg. are those the same pants that you wore yesterday?
normal girl: wow, you're wearing uggs with a miniskirt and you're dissing me?

so-called style girl1: omg i don't have a green headband to match this outfit
so-called style girl2: girl, what's wrong with you? I'd lend you mine but it has my intials on it

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand
Similar to TLDR
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
