Lost Character John Locke Inspires New Slang Word
2008-02-23 22:19:00 In the TV Series Lost, a character John Locke tends to follow a hidden agenda so full heartedly, he will do threatening and destructive actions to accomplish this goals, even going as far as destroying buildings and killing seemingly innocent people. He will act more aggressively when he himself is threatened or he is unsure what to do next. This can result in ever more dangerous action on his part. Due to the cultural phenomena that Lost has created, this character has brought about a new slang word. The word is "Locked". It is used when someone does something that seems brash, but has their reasons that they leave unspoken or hidden. For example, if someone purposefully destroys someone else's car, but no one is quite sure why, you could say that person "Locked that car up." If someone suddenly breaks up with their boy or girlfriend for reasons left unsaid, you could say they "Really Locked up that relationship." It is unsure how widespread this word will become and how long it ...

cre8txt keyboard translates SMS slang to English
2007-11-13 11:40:00 Granted, it seems that we'll all be using SMS slang to condense our resumés in the not-too-distant future, but on the off chance that unadulterated English is still required in some facet of your life, the cre8txt keyboard will make things an awful lot easier. This gem plugs into one's PC via USB and actually translates texting jargon into words that Merriam-Webster would approve of, and in case that wasn't gimmicky enough, it also includes predictive text software to complete sentences before you can even think up your own endings. We still can't see such a device being worth the £49.99 ($105) asking price, but we're betting that our kids will view things differently. Oh, the humanity. |
