A Glossary of Terms

We have made up a lot of words over the years and we incorporate them into our daily conversations. We've become so fluid at it that we often forget not many other people understand us. With that in mind we've compiled a list of us-isms we often use and their definition, for your convenience.

Enjoy.

Japanese Pidgin (n): Japanese pidgin is a religious sect founded mere months after our first meeting. We met as Linguistics majors in our Japanese class. The Pidgin is a play on the word "pidgin" as in a pidgin language and pigeon, the birds. We ofter refer to ourselves as birds/bird boss/ bird mum etc. The Japanese came, of course, from us   taking Japanese. We often mixed English and Japanese together and made our own "Japanese Pidgin" language.

Proatmeal (n): Originally a term to describe oatmeal made with the traditional use of milk or water but with a protein powder additive for maximum sitch effect (see Sitch). This concept however evolved into a mush-like substance with unlimited amount and type of protein source, and later, fiber source. Examples include, but are not limited to, peanut butter, yogurt, fiber one, weetabix, cinnamon, psyllium husk powder, soy milk, and in extreme cases, sausage and other savory ingredients.

Shawts (also shawtz) (n): a sometimes euphemistic reference to the article of clothing commonly known in American English as shorts. The term derived from the ratchet of ratchetest hip hop songs entitled, "Booty Shawts" by the Doublemint Twins.
Example in usage: 'he was trying to get da shawts'

Sitch (n): The body (an active, well trained body).
etymology: The word has its origins in Jersey Shore. If you own a television you've probably heard of "The Situation", a sleazy character who works out a lot. We refer to our bodies as "our sitch/ the sitch" et cetera.

The sitch also has a verb form: Infinitive (to sitch) gerund/present progressive: sitching. and so on.
