Oh, I could never nap at school. I can't nap anywhere there are people out and about. I have serious trust issues. Makes sitting in an airplane for 14 hours a bit of a chore.
IM SO SICK of my coteacher getting hog wild because I tell her her words hurt me.......
IM SO SICK of my coteacher getting hog wild because I tell her her words hurt me....... She gets hurt NOT cause she hurt me, only cause I TOLD her she hurt me.. and that made her feel embarrassed. I've encountered this bullshit time and again with Korean women. It's weird as hell. My ex-girlfriend would do the same thing and yuck......I don't even know how to deal with it....
I'm just entertaining the possibility as I've never had a CT say anything nasty to me in years.
hog wild?
Southern U.S. colloquialism for "crazy" or "out of control." Especially in Texas where the wild hogs are really taking over and causing all kinds of problems, haha.
Pretty sure "hog wild" is the name of a level on Crash Bandicoot 1.
I grew up in Toronto and that was a common expression, although it's "going hog wild" as opposed to "getting hog wild" for me. It's not a Southern U.S. colloquialism only.
The term originates from the South U.S., but it's interesting that it's commonly used in Canada, too. It's not something I can picture a Canadian saying, lmao.
Where are you getting that it was a term that originated in the Southern U.S.? Hogs is not a southern U.S. term. Hogs go wild when someone throws them feed which is how I would guess it originally came about, but we have plenty of hogs in Canada as well. One of the nicknames for Toronto has long been Hogtown.
I'm not an epistemology linguistics expert.
Interestingly, why "going hog-wild" means "to become crazy with excitement" is no longer really known.
Meanwhile, I can't seem to master keeping my coffee in my cup. I can literally drink anything else at a full sprint without spilling a drop, but when it's coffee it's going to end up on my shirt or on some papers.
We had the term in NZ too but, wasn't too common, though you'd hear it from time to time.
