One from CD: "teenage hood."
I had to reread the post a couple of times to determine the poster was referring to a specific stage of life- like 'he is in his teenage hood years.'
Otherwise I would have thought it was a reference to someone like the Capeman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvador_Agron he was a real teenage hood...
I can't take it anymore. Why do our leaders always project that social security will eventually dry up? Funny how there is never the same dire concern about welfare funding drying up. Why do activists always insist on fixing the police? Why don't they work on fixing the ghetto?
I see "chester drawers" on Craigslist for sale (sometimes "for sell") quite frequently.
Me tooooooo!!!!! OMG.
CHEST. OF. DRAWERS.
Another one I see a lot of is a new HGTV word - "en suite." Look - maybe that's a Canadian phrase, I don't know, but to these American ears, it sounds pretentious.

Grrrr. Don't get me started on HGTV.
Better not take your American ears to the UK, Australia or New Zealand then - where 'en suite' is the entirely normal and everyday description for a bathroom linked by a door (or doorway) directly to a bedroom. How do Americans describe such a bathroom in a home?

My American ears love British, Aussie, and New Zealander vocaublaries. Linguistics is a part of anthropology. But nowadays, I have English Dave for my British "edumication". Boot= trunk, lorry=truck. Lots of new words. But I have never heard the phrase "en suite".
While going to school in KS, I had several professors from the east coast. Not only do they have a lot of colloquialism that were unfamiliar to my ears, but I also loved the accents.
