Some ooglay dweeb-o-rama after school went and caught me mashing with my boy toy (a stella stud, I kid you not -mad cool!) Geek said, “He’s half your age!” I said, “No DOY!” Before that tard could gag me out the door, I told him, “Hey, step off and bag your face.” Then he spazzed out and said I was a whore. For real?? I’d barely got to second base! Suck! Geek finally booked it; then my stud put on some jams and everything was SCWHEET! We vegged out on the couch and shared a bud, then later played New Wave, grooved to the beat. My dude is wicked, and the zeek was right: I’m sure not young, but OH, how young the night! ** I have composed a list of definitions for all the 80's slang words and phrases.

I knew most of the phrases without needing the decoder ring, which I guess shows my age! What a great ride in the time machine, Andrea! So totally rad 80's lingo, maybe don't share it with your husband though, hehe!

ah yes the rabid lingo, of our youth here with the Dingo, and words we poked with laughter n desire, just a bit of chook chasing set our hearts a little racing, when the Bodgie got his Widgie, and sparks brought on the fire, nah me voice aint getting higher, canter cross ol murrinbidgee, and catch that little Widgee, then you have your hearts desire:) thank you Andrea Dietrich...

Ah, so eighties! Ha! Great stuff and quite humorous. Like the flow and it really fits that time frame and like the blunt nature. Good luck in the contest!

Sylvia Patterson was just on a terror with my poetry! She commented on my latest two, putting them down like they were nothing. In one she plainly said, "This is crap", and the other made fun of me with my title, saying "whoever wrote wrote this is certainly not insanity free" She's really ticking me off. Do you get that from her or does she have it in for my work? I just thought I'd ask you as you don't think my poetry sucks like she does. Sorry about this comment being like it is. Need help.
