thronged

Extremely busy, hard pressed, crowded out with work.

Originally from Norse

"I can't talk now, I'm totally thronged." means swamped with work. "I came in to work and was thronged with emails."

Common expression in Wall Street law firms. Originally from Old Norse. cf Icelandic þröng, etc. (narrow, tightly pressed; compelled, forced in the sense of being pressed to do something ); trang (narrow), Swedish trång (narrow, tight). All probably related to the Standard English throng (crowded, to form a tightly-packed crowd, etc.). Perhaps from Yorkshire dialect. Variants: thrang, threng.

toronto

Since Vancouver has filled the "Best place in the universe" category, residents of this mediocre sprawling mess have only the size of "T dot" to fall back on, thus hailing it the centre of the universe, or of Canada at least, (since mid-size US cities like even Detroit are larger than Toronto). In a highschool, Toronto would be the fat ugly chick with inferiority complex and a rich daddy.

Torontonian: Yeah, TDot's the best man! Downtown Canada! What does your little town have to offer, huH??"

(Gets owned by someone from any Canadian city)

"Yeah, well...my city is bigger than yours!!!"

After reading all the definitions for Toronto, I come to the conclusion that people from Toronto need to be told that they rock... I guess that when you live in a large city that has less clubs (less beautiful girls, less action, less everything) then a medium city (like MONTREAL), all you have to do is write down ridiculous definitions about how great your own city is.
By the way: Last Stanley Cup was in 1967, I wouldn't call that The greatest hockey franchise in the world losers... You can always come to Montreal and look at what a real hockey Dynasty looks like.

Loser A: Hey friends, it's saturday night and our safe city is sound asleep (as usual) let's go write definitions about our great city and how great it is here.
Loser B: Oh Great idea! Also, we should tell everyone about the great nightlife here because we can't compare it to nowhere else cuz we think the world revolves around us.
Loser C: It's not really our fault, we got so caught up trying to act like New York City that we forgot the girls and the fun in Vancouver and Montreal..

throning

The emotion one feels when they have not watched the latest Game of Thrones episode. This is exacerbated by spoilers on Facebook, Twitter, work colleagues and Google Trends. Symptoms include anxiety, nausea, paranoia and the constant fear of your favourite character's death.

I have a very severe case of throning before tonight's GoT episode and it's only 9 in the morning!

toronto

1 A city in Southern Ontario that's plauged with horribly cold winters and horribly hot muggy summers.
2 A polluted urban wasteland shrouded in smog most of the year.
3 The most American Canadian city other than Calgary.
4 A city who's claim to fame is...umm...hmmmm...oh yeah,the CNtower.
5 A city surrounded by beautiful majestic mountains,has tonnes of recreational activities(fishing,hiking,snowboarding ect)and a city with the most temperate climate in North America.Oh wait,that's Vancouver.

Hey man, how was big bad Toronto?
It sucked man,it was soooo hot and most of the time I thought I was in Cleavland.
Shitty,at least you can take a dip in the lake.
I couldn't,beach was closed and it smelled like urine.
Bummer,did you go up the CNtower?I here you can see Niagra Fallsfrom the observation deck.
Yeah,but it cost me 80bucks to go up,10 bucks for a hotdog and it was so smoggy that I couldn't even see the lake.On top of that,the city was hit with a brown out so I had to walk down the stairs, getting mugged by a ten year old on the way.
