Conversations

with Kaity

You guys remember by MO Bestie, Kaity? Of course you do, cause she's awesome! Well, I've got another hilarious conversation to share with you between her and I. This particular one happened during class one night (I know, I know, we should have been paying attention, but sometimes... you know. Bored). Kaity got a text, and it distracted me, but because we were in class I couldn't be nosy and ask her out loud who she was texting. So I texted her.

Me: Who are you sexting?

Kaity: My sister's boyfriend.

Me: Why are you sexting your sister's bf??

Kaity: Idk... just felt like it *winky face*

Me: Weirdo. Cradle Robber.

Kaity: We are actually talking about the packages that I sent him. And I ain't no cradle robber!!
(note: Kaity is really close with her sister and her bf, and often sends them little care packages)

Me: Ooohhh. Packages huh? Does Megan know he like "packages"?

Kaity turns so red and is trying not to laugh out loud once she read that last text.

Kaity: Oh yes, she knows all about that floozy belle!

Me: I'm not usually this funny with anyone else. Just you.

Me: You're Welcome.


It's the truth. Somehow I am on my comedic game when I'm with Kaity. I wish I could pull off that funny with other people, especially Hubs. He always has a witty comment about almost everything.

This month I've got THREE lovely co-hosts! Be sure to check them out, as well as the rest of the Conversations posts linked up with us this week.

But First, Let Me Take A Selfie

Every generation has their own set of popular words and phrases. Each of them seeming absolutely ridiculous to the next and previous generations. I'm an early Millennial, and we said/say things like "Duh!" or "Whateveerrr!", and looking back at movies and TV shows that I watched as a kid, I realize, now, just how ridiculous I sounded saying those things. 

But the younger group of my generation is taking it to a whole new level and I find it particularly amusing. This new lingo of theirs is quite possibly the worst of them all. At least when I was saying trendy things as a tween or teen, though they may not have been complete sentences, at least they were complete words.

When did shortening words like crazy to "cray cray", totally to "toats", and adorable to "adorbs" become a thing? I don't think these kids know how uneducated they sound when they speak this way. The  Sprint commercials, featuring screen legends James Earl Jones and Malcolm Mcdowell, are a hilariously perfect example of this bizarre word amputating fad. If you haven't seen them you are missing out. Seriously. Lizzy and Kim's call is, by far, the best.

I was talking to my friend Melissa the other day, and she told me about this song called #Selfie by The Chainsmokers. Yes, the hashtag is a part of the title. While the beat behind the absurdity is pretty freaking awesome, the spoken lyrics, if you can even call them that, are hilarious to me and I applaud The Chainsmokers for this epic mockery of the late Millennials. 

One word in particular started a conversation about the weird things kids are saying now and we weren't quite sure what it meant. I've seen it used by my younger family members a couple of times now while browsing Facebook, but WTF does "Ratchet" it mean? They couldn't be talking about the wrench-like tool my dad uses to work on his truck, so I turned to my trusty friend, Google, to enlighten me. The first entry on Urban Dictionary is fantastic, but really long (Read that here). The entries a bit farther down, however, gave a more concise definition.

Here are numbers eight and nine.

8. Ratchet 

A word that people use to call something "ghetto" or the equivalent of "ghetto". 

The irony lies in that 95% of the time, a "ghetto" person is using the word. 

Example: 

Person 1: She so ratchet gurl.
Person 2: Oh the irony.

9. Ratchet 

a tasteless, classless individual (most often a female) who does vile and off color things on a frequent basis while still maintaining diva status in her own mind. 

Example:
Context: In the workplace 

Girl One: "I was waxing my butthole."
Girl Two: "Damn! Didn't that burn?"
Supervisor: "Ya'll are ratchet! Get back to work!"

I'm not entirely sure when the meaning shifted to this, but no one told me about it. I guess I'm not as up with the trends as I thought. When did I get old and out of touch?

Shit My Boyfriend Says While Playing Skyrim

He gets a little "help" from Misty sometimes

Boys play games. From time to time, they shout things at the TV or to their buddies online. Hearing this one-sided conversation can be either super annoying or super amusing and since I'm not going to be that bitchy-girlfriend-who-doesn't-let-her-boyfriend-play-games, I choose to find his ramblings amusing. And, really, they are.

After a fit of laughter that left me in tears with a stitch in my side, I informed Philip that his outbursts were going to be a blog post. His response? "Yay, I'm going to be famous..."
