Cock up

Apparently, Americans don’t use the phrase ‘cock up’.

When I say it, I think they are shocked that I just used the word ‘cock’ randomly in a sentence. As if I would! 😉

(Cock up = another word for ‘screw-up’; British slang for ‘mistake’.)

P.S. I tried to look for an image to accompany this little bit, but I shan’t add one since they were all rather rude, as you can imagine! 😉

Maryland

This week I wrote an expat piece about how great Maryland is. You can read it shortly when it’s published, lucky you.

Maryland

Then I read this in an article:

“Maryland is just The Wire and people tying sweaters around their shoulders.”
“Everybody in Maryland has very sensible names like Bob and Susan.”
“You do not want to be on a long car ride with someone from Maryland.”
“They’d bore you with crab cake recipes and stories about how great Maryland summers are.”

How rude! 😉

Drive-thrus

Today I went on a drive-thru bender.

Drive-thru post office.
Drive-thru bank.
Drive-thru pharmacy.

Sadly, no drive-thru liquor store. (Not in Maryland!)

Graduation

It seems that everyone in America-land is either graduating, attending someone’s graduation or generally doing something graduation-y.

Hoorah!

I’m going to enroll in high school next year just so I can do that too. 🙂
