Getcha Franks, Getcha Norts

It's almost summer. Chances are you are doing one of three things: 

1. living at your parents house and they are probably going to make you find a job bagging groceries at HEB or something
2. some awesome internship that's going to really give you a leg up on the competition when you are out in the workforce
3. working at an awesome summer camp

If you are in one of the first two groups, I am sorry. You will probably be required to wear either jeans and some ugly read t-shirt or a suit all summer. Perhaps on Saturdays you will have the opportunity to dress like a real college student. However, if you are blessed enough to have the absolute best work uniform (in addition to the ability to be outside with awesome kids and your friends all day doing ridiculous fun things all the time!)

The two camp necessities: Franks and Norts! Perhaps you are unfamiliar with these clothing items? What? Let me educate you with a few short equations:

Frat + Tank = FRANK

Nike + Shorts = NORTS

I have come to realize that both of these phrases are an absolute mouth full, especially with the frequency with which you will be using them. For instance, you are chatting with you roomie at camp after doing laundry and you could say, "Heya Grace, have you seen my pink Nike shorts?" When you two can't find them, Sarah comes in and asks, "What are y'all looking for?" You clearly respond with "My pink Nike shorts." After this goes on with Emily and Christian, you have said Nike shorts so many times to the point where it doesn't even sound like a word anymore. So why not save yourself a few breathes, probably those necessary to beat the boys in dodgeball, and simply respond with NORTS.

The same thing could easily happen with frat tanks. For instance, you exhaustedly walk to breakfast half asleep one morning. You are sitting at the table with your fellow staff members making as much conversation as you can make at 8 in the morning. Suddenly you notice that Daniel across the table has stolen one of the awesome frat tanks that Sarah so kindly designed for the girls. Annoyed, you could say, "Daniel, where'd you get that frat tank? You aren't a girl!" This conversation likely will not end there and you have already said frat tank one too many times. Because of the early hour and the likely cattiness of the conversation you definitely need to start the conversation with the use of FRANK rather than implement it later on.

Though the use of these terms is obvs not required, I suggest their use as both items will likely be referred to on the reg as they are very typical items to be found in a variety of summer situations.
