Don’t understand something I’ve written? Chances are it’s what my\u00a0friends\u00a0and family call a “Tracyism.”<\/p>\n
I write like I talk and I talk with lots of random words and phrases that I’ve made up or picked up somewhere. What can I say? I’m kooky that way.<\/p>\n
So here’s a quick explanation of some words\/terms you might not understand. I’ll add to it as they come up.<\/p>\n
Anyhooters<\/strong> – I say this one A LOT. It just means “anyways” but is way more fun to say.<\/p>\n GD<\/strong> – I was raised half Catholic-half Methodist with a twist of LDS so, even though I’m not very religious and I can cuss like a sailor, I have weird, almost superstitious issues with taking the Lord’s name in vain. But sometimes it fits, like the “Goddamn Batman” memes. So to compensate for that I usually just abbreviate it as “GD.” I also say “Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ” sometimes.<\/p>\n Heart<\/strong> – Sometimes I say “I love (blank)” and sometimes I say “I heart (blank).” Using “heart” instead of “love” apparently bothers some people. I couldn’t really give a shit.<\/p>\n Holy craparoni<\/strong> – I’ve been saying this since I was a kid. I don’t remember exactly when it started but I’m sure it involved Batman and Robin somehow. Kind of obvious that it’s just a Robin-ized version of “holy crap.”<\/p>\n HNG<\/strong> – this should be super obvious but people ask me about it sometimes. It’s just “Hot Nerd Girl” abbreviated. A fan just told me that it used to stand for “Horny Net Geek.” In my case, it does not.<\/p>\n Uff da \/ uff das mey \/ oof dah<\/strong> – this is my\u00a0Scandinavian heritage coming out. We say these a lot in my family. I most often say “uff da<\/a>” which is the Norwegian version of “oy vey.”\u00a0I’m also Danish on my Dad’s side so will occasionally spell it “oof dah” but that’s pretty rare. “Uff das mey” is my way of saying “Oh my God” or “fuckin-a.”<\/p>\n
