Holy Silly Sayings!

Posted by Mark | Filed under Oddities

Ok, I might have mis­spelled that title but it should be close enough to give you an idea of what this mus­ing is about. You see, I was sit­ting at my desk wait­ing for the pro­gram to fin­ish pro­cess­ing some data (so I could double-check the results) when my mind started won­der­ing and it occurred to me that we all have our own odd lit­tle say­ings. Given that I haven’t any­thing bet­ter to do at the moment, as the com­puter is espe­cially slow today); I fig­ured that I’d share a few of mine with you. If the topic inter­ests you, feel free to leave a few of your own say­ings in the com­ments or post some­thing on your blog.

• “Just another day in par­adise, wish I were there.”: I use this one alot at work when peo­ple ask me how I’m doing. It’s not that I hate my job or any­thing like that. It’s just that actu­ally work­ing for a liv­ing tends to get me down a bit. Ok, that sounds really pathetic… Ah screw it, when I was a kid there were basi­cally 2 things that I wanted to do: be an astro­naut and to have enough money to do what­ever I want when­ever I want. As nei­ther one of those hap­pened, I’m going to use them as my excuse for dis­lik­ing work­ing for a liv­ing. Don’t laugh at me too hard for my dis­like of work, after all I actu­ally do my job, rather than try to sponge my live­ly­hood off of the wel­fare system.
• “Was­sup, cheese­whiz”: To be per­fectly hon­est, I only use this one on a par­tic­u­lar friend of mine and nei­ther of us remem­bers when or why I started it. We think there was some sort of story or inci­dent that sparked it. The was­sup is optional and may be ran­domly replaced with Hey, ya.
• Raise your right hand in front of you with the mid­dle 3 fin­gers extended and the palm fac­ing you, “I’d tell you to read between the lines but I don’t think you’re that smart!” Then lower the outer 2 fin­gers, so only your mid­dle fin­ger is still extended. I use this when I’m annoyed with one of my friends and want to insult them. Ok, it’s not nice but then I never hon­estly claimed I was a nice guy.
• “Soka”: This one I picked up from watch­ing a lot of anime and I have a sneaky sus­pi­cion that I’m say­ing it wrong, mis­in­ter­rpret­ing it or at least mis­spelling it; how­ever from what I can tell, it basi­cally means I under­stand. After watch­ing all the anime that I have and read­ing the sort of Sci-Fi books I like; I would ven­ture to say it’s sim­i­lar to say­ing I grok you.

Well, my pro­gram just fin­ished pro­cess­ing; so it’s time to get back to real work.
