Thursday3Some: 3 New Words You Probably Don't Know

I was perusing the Urban Dictionary the other day and was, uh, surprised by some of the entries.

Surprising? Oh, yeah. I decided not to use the new words I learned that are—I'll be genteel—provocative?

Word 1: Requel

When a remake of a movie or TV show also doubles as a sequel, i.e., it contains a lot of new material, it can be called a requel rather than just a remake or just a sequel.

Example: Each of the remakes of Casino Royale.

Word 2: Free Boobing

Okay, not 1 word but a phrase that means when a woman does not wear a bra.

Example: Gwendolyn is free boobing because the temperature outside is 105 degrees.

Word 3: Minute

A way of saying a long time has passed, especially when you feel embarrassed that it’s been so long because you know you should have done it sooner.

Example: “When’s the last time you worked out?”

“It’s been a minute.”

Takeaway Truth

Sometimes I think the French have the right idea about protecting their language by not allowing made up words. *LOL*
