Top 5 Words for March
1. Glamazon - I read about the "glamazon look" in the New Yorker last week. It refers to pleats, brazen bare legs, toga-style draping, laced sandals and all those silly clothes inspired by recent Hollywood movies like "Gladiator" and "Troy".
2. Finko's - Shipping/copy shops once known as either Fed Ex or Kinko's. Now that the companies have merged, the name has changed but the copy machines still don't work.
3. Compeauty - To upgrade your computer or give it a computer "day of beauty ", ie this Saturday I am finally going to buy OSX and then proceed to have a compeauty.
4. Palias - Any time after 9pm on Wednesday night (or Post-Alias).
5. Sucklyn - The home city of things that suck, ie that broken down heap of a car of yours - It's straight outa Sucklyn! See also, Sucklyn Heights - residents mistakenly believe they are a respectable distance from Downtown Sucklyn and Sucklyn Adjacent ... well, you get the idea.
*Many thanks to my muses-you know who you are- for teaching me that language is a living thing that changes everyday.

I've been there! "To Drax" and it's variations may wind up on the top 5 words for April. Doing the taxes is like taking the express to downtown Sucklyn...

How about...
Having a drink as you sit down to sort out your taxes = Draxing
Procrastinating with another drink while staring at your taxes like a dear in the headlights = Prodraxing
Making a list of what you plan one doing while continuing to procrastinating with a third drink while you are supposed to be doing your taxes = Prodrunxiloging
