Every day I learn something new. Some of it because of I have to (like school), but often times I get to learn some cool things. One of the best things about the whole Social Media is that I learn new slang and expressions just by interacting with people I know.
Two words that come to mind are chillaxin' and asshat. Being somewhat versed online, I think I first ran across "asshat" from my time as a member of the sports gaming site, Pastapadre.com (which I still am a member, though not as actively part as I used to).
When I come to think of it, "asshat" is a curious term because what does it mean literally? How does one even wear a hat on one's buttocks? Is that even possible? Then someone on Twitter explained that she liked to use it as a way to diss someone without being overly offensive. In this way, I actually gained a new appreciation for the term.
The other one, "chillaxin'," is one that I immediately connected with. A combination of the two words, 'chilling' and 'relaxing' into the new word, "chillaxin'," which I think is one of the coolest things ever. Whoever was responsible for that deserves my utmost gratitude and admiration because he/she is a freakin' genius.
