thing

an apparently random activity or behavior that a given person or persons compulsively associate with specific circumstances. It may be because of a past association of the two activities. This term applies to personal traditions, some superstitions, and wider trends such as national proclivities.

We have this thing in my family where we sing Beatles songs whenever we eat pasta.

It's a thing with him that you can't look Billy Bob in the eyes or he'll refuse to speak with you.

I can't eat that. I have a thing about bananas.

Well, the first time Cynthia and I went on a date, we had lobster soup. So that's kind of a thing with us, and we try and have it on special occasions.

Me and Jeff call each other a 'robust fellow' whenever one of use scores a goal. It's a thing.

Listen, so what if you have issues about dog poop. Everybody's got their things. It's no big deal!

Man, people in Belgium have this weird thing where they eat french fries with mayonnaise.

sweetest thing

A song by U2, written by Bono, as an apology to his wife for forgetting her birthday one year.

Haaaa haa a, Oooh Ooh

My love she throws me like a rubber ball
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
She won't catch me or break my fall
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby’s got blue skies up ahead
But in this I'm a rain cloud
You know she wants a dry kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing

I'm losing you
I'm losing you
Ain't love the sweetest thing

I wanted to run but she made me crawl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw
Oh oh, the sweetest thing
I know I got black eyes
But they burn so brightly for her
This is a blind kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing

I'm losing you
Whoa haaa, I'm losing you
Ain't love the sweetest thing

Ain’t love the sweetest thing
Ain’t love the sweetest thing
Ain’t love the sweetest thing

Ahhhh haaa haaaa
Ahhhh haaa haaaa

Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
You can sew it up but you still see the tear
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this I'm a rain cloud
Ours is a stormy kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing

Do do do do , do do do do
Do do do do , do do do do
Do do do do , do do do do
Do do do do , do do do do
Do do do do , do do do do
The Sweetest Thing
Do do do do , do do do do

Things Fall Apart

An awful book:

1. that is supposed to oppose racism but fails.

2. is about yams. And angry black men. But mostly yams.

3. that makes African tribal men sound like mormons.

"Things fall apart, indeed. My soul fell apart when I was forced to read this book."

"Yeah, man, I feel you. Did you know their inability to grow yams is symbolic of the lack of plot lines to fuel the story?"

Things

Gettysburgian Term: When a group of fraternity brothers smoke copious amounts of high quality marijuana and proceed to engage in activities which must include (but are not limited to) watching gross pornographic clips, walking up stairs with a chair attached to one's back, and to jumping down library steps. This may be followed by or be preceded by a night of alcoholic consumption and incriminating photographs.

1. -When we do Things everything becomes Poop Rhinos.

-Poop Rhinos?

2. Hey Dude Membro. Wanna do Things? Lets do Things.
