Word Are Spreading

Lingo is infectious. More so when it defies the boundaries set by grammar, which makes it cooler to use.

Lingo has been an integral part of life in college, and at work as well, and most of my spoken lingo has been contributed to by the friends that I have been in contact with.

I can’t stake claims on having come up with new lingo (yet), but I can for sure be held responsible for propagating some of it to the most unexpected of places.

My cousin’s wife, who works for Microsoft was so taken in by Skimpy’s Are that she has started using it as well, though not so copiously as one would expect.

However, the fact that she has done so, and been using it at the office as well has made me build castles in the air about how someday everyone in Redmond / Bellevue will be speaking the ‘are’ language, and how Microsoft help files will be filled up with new-age grammar.

In the words of those that use it frequently, ‘Are only‘.
