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.

Definition: See story.

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.
