Everybody seems to be familiar with the term Going Dutch. To put it simply, in the event a few people (2 or more) decide to perhaps go together for dinner, going dutch would indicate each person would shell out the cost for his or her meal alone. Needless to say, I am not a very big fan of this method; I’ll get back to it later.
Most of the people around me, have such distinct characteristics, that you could probably define general situations by using their names. I will try to enumerate a couple of them, for the purpose of educating, and also, perhaps in allowing you to use these terms when the need for it arises in the future.
Whilst in no way is this a complete list, I have decided not to arrange it in any particular order as I’m neither bothered nor capable of such an arduous task.
1) Pulling a Tina : Making Promises that you cannot/will not keep.
Ex: Tina: I will clean up your room next week, month, semester.
2) Pulling an Anu : Cut their statements short, in turn annoying the other party.
Ex: Anu: You know what happened, he said that I’m not…HypoG, do you think I’m a…. nevermind, forget it.
3) Pulling a Kristof : The incessant need to argue everything, even, and especially on matters one isn’t well versed in.
Ex: CRT monitors are better than LCD’s because the refresh rates on LCD’s can’t keep up to those demanded by fast paced games!
4) Going Sasha : Unlike going Dutch, in this instance, one person covers the cost of the meal for everyone.
Ex: Sasha : Hey, Lets go to Paddingtons House of Pancakes for breakfast!
Me : I’m Broke.
Sasha : No problem, we’ll just go Sasha.
5) Pulling a Rowena : The constant urge to drag as many of the student body to church, regardless of them being believers or otherwise
Ex: Hey Guys!!!! wnaa go churc tmrw? Pstr kvn sayz he has plned a wondrful supriz for us!
6) Pulling a Shorty : Being adamant and unreasonable*
Ex: Homes, since you’re going to Kalush, can you help me buy a 300 rb reload card and some food?
Shorty : No. You’ll thank me later. *Subjective on the unreasonable.
7) Pulling an Abz : Bailin’ out on the very last minute.
Ex: This summer, lets go to Tioman! I’ll get my dad to book and shit!
Summer; How, Tioman?
-Sorry homes, tak jadi, you guys carry on.
Ex: Abz, so we celebrating your birthday at Shorties house this friday?
-Yeah, confirmed!
Come friday; Sorry homes, I can’t make it, you guys carry on.
Ex: Abz : Lets go Watch American Pie at 6.
- Yeah sure, sounds like a plan. We’ll meet you there.
5.30 at the mall; Abz, where the fuck are you?
- Sorry homes, something came up, and I can’t make it. You guys carry on.
8 ) Pulling a Priyan : Running an event under a strict budget.
Ex: I can’t believe we just pulled a Priyan. Seriously, running MASSAD with only USD 5000? Who would have thought that would be possible.
9) Pulling a Mike : Keeping your cool, even at the verge of getting expelled.
Ex: Mike, exam how dei? Chill La. Mike, tomorrow exam, you finish studying or not? Chill La. Mike, exam now, ready or not? Chill la.
Teacher : What is the treatment for SCM (Sternocleidomastoid Syndrome).
Mike : Order the person to chill instead of being uptight.
Teacher : Excellent! 5.
Mike : Chill la.
And FINALLY….
10) Being HypoG : THe Ultimate level of Lazy. The epitome of otiosity.
Ex: Homes, on your way out, do you mind throwing out this rubbish, switching off the light, and locking my door? Otherwise I’d have to get up
