I later had her explain to me that this meant "are you up-to-date on this?", but when I think of hip I would normally think of the body part.]]> 2017-04-26 14:31:17 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/168386176 julia_morgan51 https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/168393143 My parents had come late to my sister's soccer game and when they got there, my cousin told them that my sister had scored a "sick goal". My dad asked if she got fouled or got a penalty or something because he thought that this was a bad thing, but really my cousin was explaining that my sister scored a really impressive goal.]]> 2017-04-26 14:48:50 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/168393143 julia_morgan51 https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/168393920 Another thing I heard being used when I first came to college was "DMV Slang" and people talking about words that were considered DMV slang. When I think of the DMV, I think of the Department of Motor Vehicle where I sit for hours waiting to renew my license. It took me a few days to realize my friends were talking about the D.C., Maryland and Virginia area when they said the DMV.]]> 2017-04-26 14:50:44 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/168393920 julia_morgan51 https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/168398429 I referred to a BMW as a "beemer" when talking to my roommate and she had absolutely no idea what I was talking about.

When she first used this word I thought she was talking about something related to an actual ghost.]]> 2017-04-26 15:04:54 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/168399414 julia_morgan51 https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/168401450 Pressed in Maryland is used in a context like "why are you so pressed?" or why are you so interested, in a bad way. When I first heard this I thought it was more like "why are you so pressed for time?" as in a time constraint, which is very different from the way my friend was using the word.]]> 2017-04-26 15:10:03 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/168401450 julia_morgan51 https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/169099417 To older generations, hook up means to meet up and hang out with a friend but to younger generations a hook up is a sexual thing, so sometimes my mom will say "you should hook up with your friend while your home" and it sounds weird to me but really she means to hang out.]]> 2017-05-01 01:34:10 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/169099417 julia_morgan51 https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/169099544 My English teacher uses the word pepper to explain fluently adding something into an essay, and I had never heard that word used in that context before that class. When I used to play volleyball, peppering means to set and bump the ball back and forth with a partner to warm up.]]> 2017-05-01 01:36:47 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/169099544 julia_morgan51 https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/169099547 My brother was talking about a picture one day that he had "liked" on instagram, and my grandma thought he just meant that he enjoyed the picture.

I said it was great and did the "OK" gesture at the same time. Where she is from, that same gesture actually means the opposite and it is used like a zero, so she was confused when what I said and my hand gesture did not match up.]]> 2017-05-01 01:37:11 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/169099570 julia_morgan51 https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/169099572 Another thing I had to get used to was every time I would go to my friend's house her mom would kiss me on the cheek.

In my building there was a sign that said "no tailgating". At first I was confused as to what this meant, but then I realized that it was referring to letting people into the building without using their swipes. In this context, it was a security measure.]]> 2017-05-01 01:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/169099582 julia_morgan51 https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/169116938 2017-05-01 06:07:04 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/169116938 julia_morgan51 https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/169116988 2017-05-01 06:08:25 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/169116988 julia_morgan51 https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/169117033 2017-05-01 06:09:16 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/169117033 julia_morgan51 https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/169117291 2017-05-01 06:14:15 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/169117291 julia_morgan51 https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/169117734 2017-05-01 06:23:49 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/169117734 julia_morgan51 https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/169117756 2017-05-01 06:24:14 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/169117756 julia_morgan51 https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/169117837 2017-05-01 06:25:25 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_morgan51/ty1srmpzsxj3/wish/169117837
