Ring Around The Rosey

1. A classic Nursery Rhyme always sung in preschools, day cares, and kindergarten classes all over.
2. One of the most gothic songs ever.

Although never confirmed, this seemingly harmless nursery rhyme is believed by many people to refer to the Black Plague in Europe during the Middle Ages. It seems quite strange, and even a little scary for 5 year old kids to be singing to this song.

Here's a breakdown of the song:

Ring Around the Rosey(victims of the plague would usually have a red, swollen ring around their eyes)

A pocket full of posies(people would carry flowers in their pockets to cover the lingering smell of death, and some people even thought they would ward off the disease)

Ashes, Ashes(this refers to the fact that they would take dead bodies and people suffering from the disease, throw them in pits, and burn their bodies to slow down the spread of the disease)

We all fall down(basically this means death)

Ring around the Rosey.
A pocket full of posies.
Ashes, Ashes.
We all fall down.

The thought of innocent children singing this song in their nursery schools is pretty bone chilling.

beat around the bush

To talk about something without mentioning it directly or avoid getting to the core of the subject--to try to bring up a subject in a roundabout way. Often motivated from a desire not to speak frankly about the subject, either because the subject is taboo, it's impolite to bring it up directly, or the conversation is perceived likely to be painful.

Well, Joe, I heard you were thinking about selling your car...

instead of

So, Joe, how much did you want for that Explorer of yours?

Also,

Susy, what are your plans for the future?

instead of

Susy, will you marry me?

Aboudtisim

Aboudtisim is the most feared of mental disability. This is a very odd disorder where in which your voice sounds like the voice of a daily smoker for the past 25 years. Another extremely large part of this disibility is the lack of knowledge in a large amount of daily things such as knowledge of hypebeast products and other things such as daily common sense and daily tasks. This is a very rare case which affects at least one person in each friend group.

Do you actullay have Aboudtisim thoes Jordan’s would by resell

Nicking Around

Nicking Around is the act of when someone is being really nice and gives you the idea that that they want to be around you. Then out of nowhere ignores and avoids talking to you or being around you in anyway. Nicking around is a random occurance, but when it does occur causes people to feel "nicked off".

Me: I asked David if he wanted to hang out today.
Beth: oh yeah? what did he say?
Me: Well it was good at first, but then he started nicking around on me!
Beth: ugh! That's so annoying, did you feel "nicked off" after?
