learn your lingo

i have recently become aware that some very vital vocabulary words were missing from my english lesson post. while i am terribly sorry, i am taking this opportunity to share these words.
the first and perhaps most important is the word sensie. while often confused mistaken for the root of the word sensitive, it acts in the english language as both an adjective and a noun. for instance "don't be such a sensie, we all knew you and your girlfriend weren't going to last," or "wow he was really sensie went he failed that test." this word is used to describe overly sensitive or emotional boys. a prime example of a sensie, actually probably the most sensie person ever is the character of Duke Orsino in the 2006 blockbuster, she's the man. while it would require days of blogging for me to accurately explain the degree of his sensie-ness, i hope that you will please watch the film for yourself.
in addition, the phrase "i am breaking up with you as a _______"is important when expressing frustration or anger. for instance, your friend forgets to pick you up some tacos at taco c, and while you are not really mad at them, you are in a temporary state of heightened anger and need to let them know. so you tell them that you are breaking up with them as a friend. this phrase parallels a romantic relationship. however, it is well known that these days many people in romantic relationships break up and get back together on an almost constant basis so this phrase is playing on that concept. one can fill in that blank with any relational word, including cousin, sister, etc. just make sure that you don't say "i am breaking up with you as a granddaughter" when your grandma forgets it's your birthday because that might be seriously offensive.
finally, it is important that one speaks in initials. the phrase "NBD" means "no big deal." other vital phrases include "DJM" and "IJY." which mean "don't judge me," and "i'm judging you" respectively. please take the time to learn your lingo as it is imperative for a successful life of communication.
