9Add -est dude to the end of words Example: I got a job! I’m the making money-est dude!

As we know, the world is slowly being consumed by hashtags and @ symbols. It is the Twitter wrath. The new “trend” is to add -est dude to the end of random I remember when... words, reguardless of whether it makes sense or not. It is supposed to show that you are the best at or that you have 10 an abundence of something. Either way it just sounds Example: A: Look! I just got a new scrunchie! illiterate and proves that you can’t spell. Only use at the end B: I remember when I wore scrunchies... of words when warrented, such as worthiest or wealthiest. Comeback phrases are always important to understand in high school social life. “I remember when..” is one of the phrases. This phrase is normally said after someone boasts about an accomplishment that the person to whom they are speaking has already accomplished. The phrase has envoled into a comeback people say when they have nothing else to say and doubles as an insult. ”I remember when..” is not creative and when said to facts that people state about themselves, it is annoying and insensitive. 16 [the wooster blade / april 20, 2012] views the Removing the freedom from free speech wooster Upon the creation of the speech unless it is directed aging the students to press said he was thinking United States, the Founding to inciting and likely to forward with the fundrais- in Spanish, but said Fathers created a series of incite imminent lawless ing idea and fired her after the wrong words documents to provide its action. she showed up to drop off in English citizens with guaranteed The Wooster Blade Edito- prizes for students when when he com- Editors-in-Chief freedoms. rial Board believes that she was told to stay away mented on Claire Miller, David However, in today’s day unless one’s speech incites from the school.
