YOU LITTLE SNAKE

So I've been looking for a few new expressions to use lately, because everyone keeps copying me. It's outrageous (check my previous list). I mean, even President Obama is dropping the mic these days. It can't get any crazier, people! Can't that man come up with something himself?! Anyway, I've found three that are now ready to wait for their global fame.

1. ‘You snake’ is the undisputed leader. But you can also say ‘you little snake’. Whatever you do, say it with a nice thick British accent and use it at the right moments. This is actually about a luchtige insult. So you use it when your friend or your favorite colleague has eaten your F***ING last piece of chocolate. You know, that piece that was waiting for you all special with its good behavior! And then the poor soul just gets eaten by someone else! Well, then you can definitely let yourself be heard and say: ‘You little snake, my chocolate! Go buy me some new ones, bitch!‘

2. ‘Bangers’/’An absolute banger’ is what you say when you're completely obsessed with a certain song. That you're walking around all day with that particular song in your head, because it's a real earworm. Personally, I'm completely impressed by this rendition of Dancing On My Own by the British young singer Hope. And ‘DNA’, by Lisa Marie Johnson, is also an absolute banger. Moreover, you can really use the expression ‘loose’ from a song. For example, when you think someone's outfit is cool. Like: this look is really bangers, or: this outfit is an absolute banger. Trust me, it's worth trying. Do it! And go all in, okay? Never, ever be afraid of the word bangers, otherwise it will get awkward.

3. ‘Pun’ is also a huge thing, and it means that something is clever, funny, witty, a bit tongue-in-cheek. Think of word puns, pun parties, pun outfits. A word pun can be a T-shirt that says Let's Taco About It, and a pun party is a party that calls for a pun outfit. In other words: a very witty outfit. For example, go with a good friend as the Black Eyed Peas, where you both wear a black T-shirt with the P on it, and both also decorate one eye with heavy, black makeup. Or you go as Bee Yoncé, where you have bee wings on your back and wear a T-shirt with Yoncé on it. I get it, the pressure has never been so high to be funny, but pun is just a thing, I can't help it. I mean, I'm just doing my job.

To be punned.
