That Is So-Yesterday!
Have you ever thought about the latest fashion in language?
About old fashioned words?
I actually had a conversation with Tawfiq about this before.
For example, we probably say "The teacher told me off just now" rather than "The teacher scolded me just now".
And say Bikini and Speedo instead of Swimming Costume.
Wardrobe Malfunction, Brokeback and Google-It are some of the new words that people use these days.
There are so many different ways to communicate now - SMS, MSN and Video Conferencing.
And Emoticons are changing the way we express ourselves.
>:-( Annoyed
:-9 Licking Lips
:-( Sad
:-& Tongue Tied
:-\ Undecided
:-))) Very Happy
l-O Yawning
Apparently Groovy is now considered old fashioned word.
But I think I will still use it.
hee.
