The Dictionary to End All Dictionaries

Not quite as boring as it sounds. I promise. A year and half or so back, a couple of my friends and I came up with the idea of making a little dictionary for some of the strange things our close friends say and write. More than once I've been told by an "outsider" how weird it is stumbling upon one of our conversations because they have almost no idea what we are talking about a good portion of the time. And God help the adults that come across us. You take our own personal little language and sprinkle it with modern slang and its bound to sound alien. So, I've been working on a more complete form the last couple of months. So, I thought I would treat my...like three?...readers to a few of my favorites.

KEY:

(ph)-phrase
(MH)-a Michael word (Big Mike has a little tendency to spell like a three year old. No, I take
that back. That's insulting to three year olds) It's ok, Michael, we love you anyway.
Except Mark.
(LC)-something that exists or is used in the Lady Camille Series, my funny short stories series
(HP)-Harry Potter Related
(SK)-relating or pertaining to the wonderful Dark-Hunter world as written by the Author
Goddess, Sherrilyn Kenyon
(SW)- Star Wars related
(IY)-InuYasha related
(WS)-Writer Stuff
(AW)- Aspen Wylde, a novel written by the Warren Sisters

(explanatory character) word-definition (possibly the creator or primary user(s) of this term)

Prandea: Mark's imaginary empire, which he would like to think governed us over the course of roughly a year and a half. It died several times. I killed it twice. Good times. (MARK)

Qua?: meaning "What the fuck?" (SAM)

The Brainwave: this is the mythical magical connection between members of "The Group". It originated from the fact that on more than one occasion, various members would speak the same thought at once. Or begin finishing eachother's sentences. Or even filling in what the other wanted to say without asking for prior confirmation that they were correct and being correct. (AMANDA and KATE)

The Group: Our name for our group of friends. Clever, right? It consists of the Originals and the Adopted, as well as those that simply refused to go away until they had eventually grown on us. Much like a fungus. (AMANDA and KATE)

ish: meaning "Well, a little", "kinda", or "not really but somewhat" (AMANDA)

(ph) "It's so Harry Potter Brokeback Mountain": meaning "It's so fantastically gay" (DIPPY)

(mh) goob: "good" (MICHAEL)

Scale of One to Edward Cullen: Twilight-based rating system *gag* (MORGAN and KATE)

browsing silence: this is a special type of silence that Morgan can identify over that phone which includes the person on the other end browsing through a book or manga (MORGAN)

(sk) Simi: actually means "baby" in Charonte but though her name is really Xiamara, she believes her name to be Simi. She is the Charonte companion and adopted daughter of Acheron (SHERRILYN KENYON)

(lc) Baba-Mobile: a shower-curtained bathtub driven by the retired Death Goddess Baba Yaga in the land of Galtonia (AMANDA)

(aw) Poofy Room: the term Artemis, Aspen's feline familiar, uses in place of the term WTGS shuttle as written in the world of Aspen Wylde, a novel written by the Warren Sisters) (AMANDA)

(ws) Fanon: fan-created fact that is not supported by the official/original source. Ex: that Qui Gon's master was Yoda

(hp) Voldemort: Voldy was the big baddie of Harry's world (J.K. Rowling)

badassical: the one-night stand resulted in this bastard love-child between Radical and Badass

confuckulated: TOTALLY screwed up

Solstitute: a whore at a Solstice Festival (SAM)

Pansyitis: if you don't get what that "illness" consists of, get out. Get out now. (AMANDA)
