Louie - Gee Walters, looks like there's too much kangaroo petrol in that there gas tank for you to handle.

Officer Walters - Then we'll tow it. Either way, we're repossessing all your stuff.

Louie - I swear; she told me she was 18.

Kania

A creative person and loves gaming. She will do her best in everything. She can be very awkward at first but once you get to know her, she would be the loudest person and would cling to you often. She's a type of person who would be like "goodmorning!" then be asleep 5 minutes later. She also laughs in awkward situations and can be anti-social, hates doing homework but completes them anyways. Did I mention that she is goddarn pretty? She also has a loyal trait and would be there for you. She knows when you're happy or down. She got super-vision :)))

person 1 : who's that?
person 2 : oh that's Kania, she's the best!

Kangarooing

Kangarooing is using overly academic language to try and explain or discuss concepts to someone who may or may not have a background in academia. Kangarooing happens often in activist circles where middle class college educated people will speak in overly academic language, assuming that the rest of the group is also college educated and can understand them.

Kangarooing is also used to obfuscate or obscure the point in an attempt to trick the victim into agreeing with something they may not understand, so that they don't seem stupid.

The term is a reference to an episode of the sitcom "Friends" wherein Joey wrote a letter using the thesaurus section on Microsoft Word for every single word and signed the letter as "Baby Kangaroo Tribbiani".

Judith: "That the power regimes of heterosexism and phallogocentrism seek to augment themselves through a constant repetition of their logic, their metaphysic, and their naturalized ontologies does not imply that repetition itself ought to be stopped—as if it could be."

Megan: "Stop kangarooing and explain in standard English please"
