Mia-isms - (Flip a cow, Quish/squish)

Here's another round of some unique verbiage that, as far as I know, my wife coined, to my great amusement.

Flip a cow

     [flip uh kau]

verb
1. to berate someone verbally
2. to become animatedly enraged

ex. If that's a parking attendant by my car, I'm gonna flip a cow on him!

Quish/squish

     [kwish or skwish]

verb
1. to let out a short, sometimes involuntary, high-pitched utterance, usually about something cute
2. to make any of a variety of small physical gestures in response to something cute, such as squinting or clasping one's hands together

ex. It's the cutest Welsh Corgi, when I saw it, I squished so loud he barked back at me!

Mia-isms - (Joygasm, Semicolon)

Mia was my wife. She had a unique way with words, truly my writing inspiration. From time to time, I may post Mia-isms. Mia-isms are words or turns of phrase that only Mia could concoct. They're good.

Joygasm

  [joi-gaz-uh m]

  noun
  1. an uncontrollable, often physical, outburst of sheer happiness
  2. an instance of experiencing this

  verb (used without object)
  3. to have a joygasm

  ex. When Boris proposed to Thelma-Ann, she had a total joygasm.

Semicolon (OK, this is a repurposing of an existing word but it counts)

  [sem-i-koh-luh n]

  new slang
  1. used in the exact same way as "word" is used in slang

  ex. "Yo, man, you aight?"
        "Semicolon."
