<p>AMERICAN SLANG </p><p>Russell: Hey Dave. How was your weekend? </p><p>Dave: Not bad. I went downtown to watch a flick with my roommate. </p><p>Russell: How was it? </p><p>Dave: Oh, the movie was awesome; the company wasn't. </p><p>Russell: What do you mean? </p><p>Dave: Well, I liked the movie, but my roommate is a real airhead. [Ugh] We started talking about this and that, and he thought the Titanic was some boat the Japanese sank during World War II. </p><p>Russell: Oh, oh. Whoa. Not a very bright guy. </p><p>Dave: Yeah, and he's a real couch potato. He invited me over to his parent's house to watch TV. Wow. I bet watching TV is his only hobby, but he sure doesn't know much. </p><p>Russell: Too bad. Hey, do you wanna go out and get something to drink? It's pretty early. </p><p>Dave: Nah. I'm gonna hit the sack. I have a test tomorrow morning, and I wanna be ready for it.</p>
