English Phrase Of The Week
"Sudden onset cryabeetus"
Meaning: crybaby whiners. I'm going to start using this in everyday conversation, stat.

While we're at it, how about a Chinese phrase of the week?
"An lian" ("暗恋")
Meaning: to be secretly in love. Kind of like a crush, but more serious and dramatic, like Jim-for-Pam, Days Of Our Lives kind of love. You can use it as a verb instead of a noun or adjective, which makes it more fun. I am fond of saying, 'I anlian him.' But I use it more as a joke, not as a real condition.
What's your favorite phrase? I say "evidently" a lot at the beginning of sentences. Or, "Sooo, evidently..." And "suspicious" to sum up.

That regretsy site is crazy funny.
Evidently, I say "serious" a lot. Seriously.
After saying something blunt and honest to a friend I like to add, "having said that..." and compliment them in some way. I'm known for this!
Happy Easter, Chica!! :)
