Story:
On Black Friday 2010 Hachi, Ivalice, Hachi's brother and his girlfriend went to Best Buy thinking they were going to get a great deal on games and computer accesories using price matching. A supervisor stated that Best Buy would not price match on Black Friday, thus blocking all good feelings that were had about getting away with only paying 30% of the original cost on our items.

Porange
Who said it: Hachi
Date: November 15, 2010
Story: It was one of those random moments where I was speaking with Ivalice over the phone and texting Saru. I was trying to say Pink and Orange at the same time. Thus Porange came into being. It then made itself on the level of an Asian's blushing meter, which goes as such: Orange, Porange, Pink.
Ivalice says that if I ever get my own crayon that he'd be so happy for me.
Definition: See story.

Turning Orange
Who said it: Maggie, a.k.a. Nar
When: Fall 2007 (or sometime around then)
Story: We were talking on the phone and Ivalice made me blush. In the background, Maggie shouts, "OH MY GOD SHE IS TURNING ORANGE!!!" Yes, it is a racial joke, but hilllarious nonetheless. Ivalice brought the concept to Yuki... thus it is still to this day, a running gag.

Delicious (n.)
Who said it: Maggie, a.k.a. Nar
When: Fall 2007 (or somewhere around there)
Story: We (Ivalice and Hachi) were getting out of the car when all the sudden Maggie said something along the lines of "I like bagels. They taste something like delicious." We were quite intrigued and didn't know where else to put this entry. Then again, that would certainly mean that I have been trying to implement this sort of dictionary for a long time now. I am a genius! Needless to say, ever since then, we have used delicious as a noun more often than ever.
Definition: Same implication as the adjective form, but used as a noun to indicate anything and everything that is delicious.

Frumpy
This is an actual word in the English language. But it deserves the right to be here.
Date of origin: Original year: 1746; the more contemporary date: about 3 weeks ago. Hachi heard it in a teacher's lounge by K.P. to describe a certain event.
The story: K.P. was describing an event that took place just outside of her door when two students (of which she has no recollection of said that women who get married look... frumpy, wearing trousers and a cardigan as their daily dress. Of course, K.P. is married AND wearing a cardigan at the time of this occurance. This conversation originally started when the students described her (K.P.) as an attractive woman who doesn't "look married." She just had to ask the question of "what married women look like."
Definition: Unfashionable, drowdy, not-fabulous, drab.

"Jesus Tap-Dancing Christ!"
This is a silly phrase I heard my father yell at some point in my youth that just cracked me the hell up. Anytime I reflect on this phrase, I can't help but picture Jesus in his robes doing a Master Juba shuffle of sorts. Either that or this quote comes to mind from Mitch Hedberg "I would imagine that if you could understand Morse code, a tap dancer would drive you crazy."

one-eyed batman
Date of origin: November 19, 2010
Who said it: Hachi
Story: The three of us (Ivalice, Yuki, myself) were at a Taco Bell next to this group of strange kids that yelled "Vagina" very loudly. The conversation somehow landed into talking about Princess and how Yuki needed to come up with something original. Hachi then followed this with "one-eyed Batman," which made everybody stop their thoughts AND at the same time, sputter and stutter. Ivalice then finally said, "WELL, SEND IT TO HIM!!" In which, Yuki did so. A few minutes later, Princess texted back: "Wtf?!"
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: still unsure, but we have agreed it to be an amazingly random product.

Gravel Moments
Gravel - A moment when someone says/does something that places someone else in a state of confusion that their minds lack any means to rationalize and recover their composure.
This phrase comes from my great Chinese History professor Padilla. Great man. He also referred to the moment as "a Scooby-Doo "Barooh?" moment". I originally heard the phrase when Padilla explained a series of historical events and asked a question, yet the class was entirely dumbfounded.

Introduction, brought to you by Hachi
Hello everyone and welcome to Revo Emag, a dictionary of sorts. This blog was created out of the blue by yours truly. It was truly a random thought that I, at the time, wondered if it would be an excellent idea to add to the randomness that the three of us generate in our daily lives (that is-- myself, Yuki and Ivalice). What this blog basically is (and perhaps to the rest of our dearly beloved friends and family) is a conglomeration of everything that is sugary, spicy and everything (perhaps not so) nice. It's a collection of terms, phrases and... whatever else that we pass back and forth with our friends. Some of them are downright geeky, nerdy... witty, and... well, everything else. And every one of them... will perhaps have an origin-- a back story, if you will.
