Gaggle of Skanks

Umm yes... I totally used/came up with/said out loud... "gaggle of skanks" at work. While I was referring to something that happened on The Hills, I am pretty proud of my new statement. It did make me think of back in the day, college, that we used to call each other "hoe-bag." My mom hated it!! She would get so mad at me when I would say that... so I often called her one too. I mean it was a term of endearment. Now, I would think it was weird if I walked up to one of my college friends and said, "hey hoe-bag." Now I choose nicknames... I think I call everyone by one. I wonder if nicknames came about from laziness or back to the whole term of endearment thing. I have always been a nickname kind of girl, as in I call everyone by nicknames... even my parents! They are Fred and Weeza. Umm... in real life they go by Frank and Lisa. My nicknames have varied so much in life... when I was little they called me Hazel... because one day I was down at the my grandparents farm in Mississippi and I wanted to call home and my grandpa told me I had to do it by myself. Well, the operator thought I said my name was Hazel, I cried because I didn't think my parents would know who it was! hahah. My cousin Carrie, more of a sister than a cousin, has always called me Heatho.

High school, cruel high school, my best friend Cara started calling me Hester thanks to 11th grade English. I wonder what my teacher's name was... College it was H-A, Ha, Heath, and so on.

OK so back to the gaggle of skanks... I love this new term... just hoping I can't use it in my life but only refer to that lovely thing that encompasses our summer tv-- reality shows, which I hate, except the Bachelorette!
