The non-descript sound someone might vocalize when they are surprised.

Origin: lit. the name of an herb, but is also reminiscent of the sound heard during the opening of the TV show, "Home Improvement".

Could be considered an exaggerated huh, and the opposite of psshh.

"Hey man, I think I'm finally gonna' do it. I'm gonna' ask Becky to marry me!"
'That's not a good idea, Dude.'
"Why do you say that?"
'I hate to be the one to tell you this, Dude, but...my buddy, Jake, caught Becky around downtown with some business-looking older guy.'
*arugula* "Say what?!"

Arugula

The worst ingredient you can add in a salador sandwich, and the quickest way to ruin a good meal.

The taste can be described as spicy lettuce, dirty bush leaves, and crunchy ground matter.

Arugula is generally believed to be a dirty plant, or knock-off spinach, because it is. Fuck that rocket leaf

Me: Hmm, this salad is coming along too well. Guess I should go dig up some arugula from my garden and use it in the salad

Mom, after eating some of the salad: You are not my son anymore. Pack your shit and walk to another country.

Me: Yay!!

Arugulated

1. The feeling of anger or depression that comes from making your girlfriend sick by not pining her.
2. A state of depression that causes one to go into a hibernation state after finding out that their girlfriend is vaccinated.
3. An emotion expressed when Matt is a fucking bitch to you.

Matt: You've been dating your girlfriend for almost 2 months. How haven't you pined you stupid bitch.
Matt: I heard she's also vaccinated.
Sam: Matt I hate you. I'm so fucking ARUGULATED right now!

Frothability

The measure of an emotional and over zealous consumer in an upwardly charging market, also known as a bull market. It's characterized by rising asset prices, increased investor confidence, and favorable growth in the markets, bro.

The frothability was evident as over-zealous consumers eagerly engaged in bidding wars, driving property prices to unsustainable levels reminiscent of previous speculative bubbles.
