Orientate as a verb, orientated: if one has been thru orientation, one is now oriented.

Just one more to add, using summer as a verb
"we summer in the Hamptons" or "we summer in Nantucket"


This is totally WASPy and I believe was in The Preppie Handbook


Yes, you never hear "we summer in Ocean City!"

I already posted for hubby but so many other good ones since then. Ma'am = absolute worst!

But I spent years in Mass. and still like using wicked. Not a lot, though. Can't stand overuse of any word (for example, the aforementioned "amazing").

UGH

ARGH!

ARGHHHHHHHHH

UGH!

women (and it's always women or gay men) who use this in print think it adds emphasis (My inlaws gave us a long list of foods they won't eat. UGH!) (I lost my SmartTrip card - ARGH).

but it's always superfluous. we can accurately guess without the guttural pirate loogey noise that you aren't delighted you lost your SmartTrip card.
