For all of you amazing people who are coming to visit me, here are some words/actions that you should familiarize yourself with before you get here. Learn from my mistakes..
Hugs-
Anyone who knows me in the slightest, knows that I am highly awkward when it
comes to physical contact. Anytime you
see ANYONE, you give a hug. There are
several types of hugs: The hug to each side, the one handed, the prolonged
squeeze, and the goodbye. I am getting less awkward, but sometimes there is a
kiss that comes with the hug. Holy, I really fumble on that one…….
Don’t confuse the two types of handshakes. There is one lengthy
version (involving some clapping and snapping and swishing) and there
is the regular, firm hand shake. Please note that you should, under
no circumstances, use the township handshake with the acting Catholic
Bishop… Like my hesitant kisses, it makes for an awkward recovery.

Bru
is similar to bro or dude, but only to be used in a positive context.
Shame is an exclamation, similar to “ohhhhh shoot!” Used a lot while watching the news.
Cock means deep shit (also used while watching the news)
Must I fetch?- should I go pick up…
A robot is a street light, but they often are missing the colored bulbs.
Girkins
are sort of like pickles.
Mince
means meat.
Wors and Girkins must be Dutch, because Wurst and Gerkens have the same meaning in German! Whow knew that you would get to pick up bits of TWO languages as well! :) Love you tutorial! Now I just need to find a bit more work, so we can be added to your list of visitors!
ReplyDeleteGood to know when to swish and when not to swish. Memories for a lifetime - awkward or otherwise.
