From Amazing Grace to A Floating Opportunity

An old Southern term an African-American mother uses to describe an long and sometimes well deserved, ass-whooping in order to warn her child, or others who cross her. This African-American saying, used as a motherly warning, first popped up in the 1930 play Mule Bone by Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston.

The Oxford Girl

The Oxford Girl is an elusive creature; the closest many have got is through a man whose brother said he knew a man who knew The Oxford Girl...

Many questions have been asked about her such as; did she pay a price for making them look twice? Did she pass them by? Did she dare to meet their eye? Did she scorn them all and did they understand?

There were also allegations that she was a grief to her father, a lover to her brother, temptation to her betters and unfaithful to her lover.

She says she never had a chance to prove them wrong and in my opinion we shouldn't listen to the gossip and someone like Oyster Band should write a song about her. She's just that amazing
"Hey, you know The Oxford Girl?"
"No :( but I met a man whose brother said he knew a man who knew The Oxford Girl"
"WOW I think I'm a little bit in love with her."
"Yea me too!" legends

Oxford Comma

Also called a Serial or Harvard Comma, it is a punctuation used immediately before a grammatical conjunction. Ezra Koenig, Rostam Batmanglij, Chris Tomson, and Chris Baio (Oxford Commas are used between the names.)

But the preppy indie band Vampire Weekend also uses the term to refer to a white, preppy guy from Oxford, as "comma" has also been used as slang for an obnoxious white person.
