Our signature phrases/words

I thought it would be FUN (all in good fun; love you peeps!) to post some of the signature phrases/sayings/words that we have noticed from our fellow vegwebbers' posts (things that we say/do a lot). I'll start (duh)!

KMK: "DO IT!"
        " just sayin'.."

hesp: leaves everything in lowercase

pink: medical stuff!

Love this thread!

I also say *swoon* a lot.  But mostly on the PPK boards because they have cute boys.  We lack a preponderance of cute boys on vegweb.  Just sayin'.  The boys we have are cute, we just don't have very many.  But I swoon over the ladies too.

I also say "hideous" a lot in general.  And "oy."  At least in real life.

I can't think of any phrases people say, but laurabs always says things really nice; carrot and heliamphora are always funny; bp is always matter-of-fact, straight-to-the-point, makes-me-think-about-the-world-in-a-different-light; HH, Cali and bookmama are always really helpful; LA and AC are friendly like they're your best girlfriends; and hespedal knows everything about nutrition and smart spending and bikes. 

And capture is the picture queen!

I think secondbase packs the most funny into the fewest words/characters.

That's not everyone, of course.  Too much love all at once!  I'll have to come back to this later.

haha I see that you're sensitive about the lower/uppercaseness!  ;) Yeah..sometimes...

I use parenthesis and ellipses (?) a lot..

VHZ tends to write longer posts and VS I think just started writing more in the forums..so I'm not sure..

the shift key is irrelevant for many of us.  ::)

(it only becomes relevent in my work and in the work of my students. if i have another paper that is like "this is important bc u need 2 demonstrate ur writin skillz" i will scream.)

Shouldn't all papers demonstrate writing skills? I HATE seeing grammatical errors in papers..

I had a professor once who was lecturing on writing papers. He was emphasizing the importance of spelling and grammar. He wrote on the board, "Pay attention to spelling and grammer"

*headdesk*

i'm fully of qualifiers: well, so, maybe, kinda, kind of, sort of...

and i waver between capitalization and none (why should the first letter be any more important than the rest?  >:()<--excuse for laziness

I have been told I overuse the phrase "the mind boggles." Just checked through my posts, and they're right.

I have also been known to use the words "felicitous" and "notorious" too much. I read too much Austen.

I know that some of you have met each other 'irl'...so, were the vegwebbers that you met what you 'thought they would be?' Were their personalities the same as/different from what you were expecting? I'm curious.  :)

As I was typing my last post, I realized that I like to use "So".

There are so many of y'all I'd like to meet irl - maybe I should start planning vacations around where vegwebbers live  ^-^

Seriously, though, if any of you plan on coming down to South Texas (Rio Grande Valley, 30 minutes from the Mexican border and 40 minutes from South Padres Island), let me know!! 

I would recommend you wait until early fall though, as it gets WAY hot during the months of June, July and August  :P

OK, so OFF TOPIC, but I am already thinking about what I am going to do during the summer in between my two years of teaching (not this summer, the next one).  Now, I was thinking, oh, backpack through Europe, but really I should do a vegweb tour!  I can make my way down the east coast, to the south, then back across the midwest, then ultimately out west!  It would be awesome if gas wasn't probably gonna be $10/gal by then.  But I have a goal of visiting all the states as well.
