Frenemies...

Dear Bro,

It appears that with the "in" people now-a-days it is common to have what is referred to as a "frenemy", someone who courted as a friend but (in the case of Hollywood) says nasty things about your behind your back.

Gee... I though that was just what friends do in Hollywood....

So in the interest of keeping up with this hip dynamic culture that we live in I have decided that we need to introduce some new terms into the English language so we can properly express our
thoughts to each other with a minimum of words.

"Turger" - Lets start with a real easy one, this is a turkey burger, something a soldier like yourself in Iraq going to see about as often as a commanding officer leaving a forward operating base in anything other than a helicopter.

"Realony" - A nice combination of Reality TV and baloney and/or phony ... don't really have to say anything else about this one, do I?

"Chillax" - Chill and relax, courtesy of local Cincinnati attorney Deb Adams, or actually, courtesy of her teenage children.

"Jed Bull" - It appears the hip younger generation like to take Jagermeister and mix it with a Red Bull energy drink. I tried a sip at a wedding last weekend, and it struck me that this is what flat Mr. Pibb mixed with bleach would probably taste like... ah... those wacky Gen-Xers.....

"Morg-gage" - A mash up of a morgue and a mortgage because based on the amount of loans that are going to default over the next two or three years, there is going to be some seriously high default rates and subsequent foreclosures.

"Parisole" - Parole, Paris Hilton style, which means you manage to get released from prison after less than 48 hours due to excessive crying and fit throwing only to have the mean old judge send you back to finish your original sentence.

"Spail" - This term should replace "junk mail" as lets face it... junk mail is basically spam that the USPS deliver to your door on a daily basis.

"Dristening" - Dreaming and listening at the same time. This is the one where you are telling someone something important but their eyes are more glassy then the cast of the first season of SNL.

The 'jed bull' is known as a jaegerbomb. Speaking of shots, try a Sicilian Kiss...
