Cool idea for a list!

I'd love to have a conversation with someone who regularly worked these words into his or her speech. :)
crysb commented on the word potus
President of the United States.

Yum! I remember getting these when I was in Canada last.

crysb commented on the word clock-o-clay
See the poem by John Clare.
crysb commented on the word patina
I often confuse this for patella (kneecap).

crysb commented on the word fingerling
I think of the small fingerling potatoes.
crysb commented on the word twee
Twee-pop, a very happy genre of music indeed.
crysb commented on the list •-words-i-often-hear-at-my-workplace
Just started an office job. Getting used to the linguistic torment. This list is great, but many of the things I read on here make me cringe.
crysb commented on the word plu
PLU = "Price Look-Up" code, as used in a grocery store.
crysb commented on the word baby spinach
It's like spinach, only it can't walk or talk yet.
crysb commented on the word employee discount
One of the perks of employment.
crysb commented on the word stage
I especially like "stage" as a verb.
crysb commented on the word reg
This can be retail-lingo for register - as in "We need more people on reg!" - but I suppose it has many alternate significations as well, such as:
- regimen
- regular
- region
- regard(s)
crysb commented on the word baler
Like the cardboard baler at work!
Fill it with your flattened cardboard boxes, heave the door down, then push the button to compress it all.
crysb commented on the word wen
This is a word that sounds lovely before you learn its meaning.
