bittersweet

A word that always works in English class if you need a word for tone. Even if you don't know anything about the piece you're talking about.

Teacher: "Blah blah blah, diction, syntax, imagery."
Student: "The tone of this passage sounds very... bittersweet."
Teacher: "Good job! You're my favorite student now!"

Bitten by the kitten

Dirty Loops checked Urban Dictionary when they wrote their song of the same name and it didn't have a definition, so it now means anything in regards to being obsessed with the band Dirty Loops.

Have you heard of the band Dirty Loops? I just heard about them and I'm totally bitten by the kitten. I've been listening to them non-stop!

Cocktail Bitters

A substance intended for flavoring cocktails. Despite the high alcohol concentration (ranging from 35-60% ABV), it is exempt from all alcoholic beverage regulations because it is classified as a flavoring, not a beverage. As a result, no liquor license of any kind is needed to sell it, and anyone can purchase it regardless of age.

Due to the strong flavor, it is not recommended to drink cocktail bitters straight. When mixed with soft drinks or seltzer water to create a drink with approximately 5-10% alcohol, however, bitters can be quite drinkable. Angostura is a popular brand of bitters, but there are countless options on the market.

Tim: I need a drink but I'm only 20 and my friend that buys my alcohol is out of town

Steve: Try buying some cocktail bitters! They're 45% alcohol
Tim: Good idea! I'll pick up some seltzer for mixing too.
