Fagguh-FAT, YOLAINOT, Figuratively

Fagguh-FAT (fæguh fæt): a verbal crutch or phrase frequently used in public to recover from making an otherwise blatantly homophobic slur, namely “faggot.” The phrase was adopted into the English language after Tripp Palin, three-year old son of Bristol Palin, called his seventeen-year old Aunt Willow “a faggot” on a  Lifetime Reality TV-show, in spite of Bristol Palin’s recent explanation that Tripp actually used “a different f word” that is a slur but is “not faggot” when speaking to his aunt. You know – Tyler from Millionaire Matchmaker was kind of pretty even though she was a little bit of a Fagguh-FAT”

 

YOLAINOT (yoʊleɪnɒt): an acronym for “you only live an infinite number of times.” Used to express a New Age belief in reincarnation that holds that your actions in this life affect your station in the next. Just saved a bunch of worms stranded on the pavement due to the rainstorm. YOLAINOT.

 

Figuratively (fɪgyərətɪvlɪ): a slang term used to emphasize the irony or sarcasm of a statement. Mitt Romney accidentally dropped a dollar as he was exiting a building and a homeless man picked it up. Romney is figuratively the most philanthropic presidential candidate we’ve had, like ever. Antonym: “Literally,” a slang term used to add emphasis
