You heard it here first people; I’m a massive trendsetter.

OK, so I spend a lot of my time daydreaming. Also, I wanted to post something amusing for a change — or at least something that I find amusing.

Here is a list of words and phrases that I think should be used if they aren’t already:

‘Mind deaf’

When you cannot hear your own thoughts because someone is talking too much — usually a child or drunk person.

‘My head was wrecked because he just wouldn’t shut up. I went completely mind deaf.’

‘Dipster’

An accidental older hipster who doesn’t think they’re a hipster but totally look like one and are a dick.

‘Did you see him vaping outside the vegan restaurant talking about wind energy?’

What a dipster.’

Bastard’

A person who sits on the outside of the seat on a bus and/or has their bag still up on the seat when the bus is full.

‘There were loads of bastards on the bus today, and I couldn’t get a seat.’

Interferon’

A person who likes to interfere with whatever you are doing because they seem to think you can’t do anything correctly.
