Words ARE Important
I added this entry in order to give you another OPTION. You need to complete only 5 journal entries, two of which are Contemporary Thoreaus and Song of Myself.One of the pleasures of reading Mark Twain is the language, specifically his narrators' and characters' use of a correct and usually comical vernacular specific to his stories' settings. No one in Wilmington, Delaware, would say something like "I don't see no points bout that frog that's better from any other frog " (really, no one would be so interested in frogs too much round here, either).
I still get a kick out of Huckleberry Finn describing his disinterest in the story of Moses in the Bible because "I don't take no stock in dead people."
Only the sarcastic and less than sartoriallly-dressed Twain could have reflected, "Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence in society.
So what is interesting about your language? If an alien somehow landed in your backyard, would he need to be given a dictionary of YOUR own special collection of words, phrases, and sayings? Probably so.
Pretend that I'm that alien. Make a list of at least 25 words, phrases, or sayings (complete with their "definitions") that would let me know exactly what you mean when you say something that isn't exactly the King's English.
One bit of advice. We're not gangstas here.

Okay, so I definetely am liking this one. I've got some unique "vocab words and phrases" for your readers out there.
"wet"- this ones a basketball term that you would probably know Mr. Fiorelli, it is when a shot swishes. This term is usually called when the ball is first released.
"Hillaugherous"- Basically this one is a hybrid form of hillarious and laugh. This noun and adjective fused together form a word to describe the utmost funny happenings in daily life.
"Feenin'"- This one i can't take credit for but it's widely used. This one is when you are wanting or desiring something, be it a girl or a soda.
"I stay...."- this phrase is use to start a sentence, meaning you keep doing something. For example, "I stay acing vocab quizes."
"Loungin'"- This word means to just be so relaxed and just hanging out as if in a lounge chair.
"fresh J's"- J's is a term used to describe a new pair of Jordan's.
"merk"- This term comes up alot when someone is angry at another person. For example, "I'm gonna merk that ninny," means that you will fight and win against that ninny (I know you like the old school word "ninny" that i tossed in there).
"Wild'n out"- This one is a tribute to the legendary Jonathon May. Jon brought this word into popularity meaning basically getting a little to insane. "Your wild'n out and need to settle down."
"werd"- Werd is widely used in the halls at the great SMH. This one has some esteemed credibility to it, usually meeaning yes to answer a question.
"Goose"- This lexicon signifies the dairy/market known as Wawa. If you must have an explination, look at the sign next time you past.
"Ya'll wantin to..."- Okay, so I picked up this idiom because my brother attempts to speak like the Southern folk these days. "Ya'll wantin to eat," means "do you want to get something to eat."
"Getting Swolen"- This phrase does still keep its original meaning, but dig deeper and let your cerebrum fill with knowledge. Getting swolen essentially means going to lift waits. Getting Swolen is basically congruent to getting strong.
"Getting jacked"- See above.
"wanksta"- This lexicon refers to those people who attempt to act like more of a gangster then they ever should.
"Clown"- No, not bozo this one goes deeper as well. A clown is someone who is basically a jokester to society, such as someone who would pull out a steak sandwich on the 17th green at Augusta.
"Shell"- In Delaware almost everyone uses this whenever they go to any gas station, whether it is a Shell or not.
"City-Wilmington"- Yes, all Delawareans put this on every form we have ever filled out and we know it. Wilmington is the whole state, I live in Mermaid, Delaware, but I can't remember the last time i did not say I lived in Wilmington.
"The Point"- Not many know of this designation. The point is a neighborhood that produces fine young men called North Pointe in Mermaid (Wilmington), Delaware.
"The Hills"- Yup, you might of guessed another neighborhood or as it seems a "city." Limestone Hills is the place to be.
"The Castle"- This is the name given to the Delcastle Golf Course the summer it was introduced to the Tiger Woods Phil Mickelson combo that is Brandon Baker and myself.
"Washboard"-No, Mr. Fiorelli its not a flashback to your mama giving you chores again, this one has to do with your abdominal region. Someone with "washboard abs" has been up in the gym workin on their fitness.
"Billiken"- This is a new lexicon not yet widely used. If you are a billiken, then your a heavy man with double chin.
"Burnin'"- I don't know if you have yet been introduced to the true wonder that is Ryan McCallin, but you will cherish the day that you do. Burnin' is his word to mean driving at a very high rate.
"Chunker"- A lexicon meaning an overweight baseball pitcher.
"heads"- This word ios usually used to describe how many people were at a specific event. FOr example, "There were 65 heads at my mom's birthday bash."
