Of course, you can't forget the always good endings to slang words like -atron (foolatron), -amatic (awesomematic), -ariffic (coolarrific), and the ever popular -arino (spiffarino). Now there are also those witty comebacks to "Talk to the hand" and "Brick Wall" like "Free Willy" (as he would jump over the hand or wall), and "Bulldozer" (The bulldozer knocking the hand or wall over). You can also combine the two by first using the bulldozer, then saying free willy, whereas the boy who is leading willy over the wall gets knocked down by the bulldozer, so of course willy turns his head [1], and sees the boy falling, and gets killed himself because he didn't follow through with his jump. If you think I am elaborating on this a bit too much, let me just say I have certain friends (I was included too) who had this big discussion about proper slang and definitons. Then to top it all of, we had a slang face-off, where I won, of course because I am the champion!! (think that was enough of a run-on sentence?) - --gus the one who is known for her rants [1] My friends and I discussed this a long time, and finally came to the consensus that willy doesn't really turn his head because he has no neck, but slightly turns his body and moves his eyes to the corners so he can barely make out the boy falling. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 23 Jan 1999 02:09:29 GMT From: LuCkYDaBeD@aol.com Subject: please wish me luck i have to take the SATs tomorrow and I am starting to get quite nervous.

I actually prefer the adjective form "foofy," >which means overly decorated or adorned; fussy. I've been using "foof" in >this way for 15 years, so I feel pretty strongly about its usage. This (in the foofy form) is how I've always heard the term used (1st encountered @ 1980) and how I've used it. Restaurants, also, are often foofy places, especially restaurants in the upper echelons of priciness: they serve foofy food and are quite foofily decorated. I'm wondering if in fact we've uncovered a regional linguistic difference here. MidAtlantic folks mean fussy, folks out on the prairies think foof's a cuss.
