I brought the Plinky Question of the Day feature over to Book Soulmates because it was one of my favorite posts to create. It's a great way to get to know you guys better and vice versa. Sometimes the questions will deal with books or reading but, most of the time they won’t. Because, let’s face it, there’s more to us than what we read.

I'm out of the loop - what does "turn up" mean?
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with 'YOLO' it is just beyond annoying!!!
ReplyDelete@Andrea - According to Urban Dictionary (my source for understanding the youth of today) it means getting wild or excessively crazy. Typically used in the context of a party. Usually you'll hear people say turnt up. That's a whole other rant though. ;-)
ReplyDelete@barmybex - Glad to see there are other like me. =)
I haven't really heard "Turn Up" too much either. I agree that "YOLO" needs to go! I think we're all done with that now, lol.
ReplyDeleteOh, and "cray cray". I think we should go back to just plain 'ol crazy!

@Isa - Sooo agree on the cray cray.
ReplyDeleteI would get rid of cock. That word drives me nuts when I read it in a contemporary novel. That word might have been useful in the 1800s but not any more.
ReplyDeleteA couple that irritate me:
ReplyDelete"My bad"
"At the end of the day" (SOOO overused)
