word of the day

I learned an interesting word today while we (my dad, mom and I) were on our way back from Toledo.

Furlough n.

- used mostly by soldiers as a preferred term over the usual leave of absence.

I learned this from my dad who is a retired soldier. So when somebody asks you where the hell you’ve been, just tell them, “I took my well deserved furlough.” Pretty cool, huh?

Lulz

Is a plural variation of L.O.L. or laugh out loud. Originally a typo which eventually evolved into something that means funny internet content or laughter at the expense of others.

Usually associated to the catchphrase, “I did it for the lulz” which is the mother of all excuses, the reason that could probably get you away with anything incriminating.

If somebody asks you why you decided to rob a liquor store, just tell them you did it for the lulz.
