Thanks for the comments everyone!

@Brett: I’ve been thinking about doing more vocabulary roundups, though I’m not sure if they’ll all be as interesting as this one. We’ll see what happens.

@natem: thanks for the tip. I’ll fix that.

Thanks for the list!

Games and manga are great places for picking up stuff you won’t find in standard textbooks. Each social group has it’s own idiosyncrasies that are great for setting yourself apart. Lloyd, how about running a series? I’m sure there are a lot more phrases like this that need to see the light of day.
