Ye Olde Gloſsarie of Matthew-MCMXCIII-iſms.

EDIT ON MAY 12, 2018: THIS IS THE OLD VERSION OF MY GLOSSARY... or at least the oldest version that was a sticky entry rather than on my profile, anyway. THE NEW GLOSSARY IS... nowhere, yet, but I'm going to FINALLY get around to updating this glossary for the first time in years after I'm done fixing all my entries on both LJ and DW.

I made this sticky entry in 2011, but then I didn't update it much after that and left it outdated for nearly SEVEN YEARS - long enough that I decide I might as well preserve the old version of the glossary, but make it no longer sticky in favor of a NEW sticky entry with the updated glossary.

Everything below this point is as the entry originally appeared, except I got rid of the lj-like buttons. The former subject line was simply "Glossary of Matt1993isms".

----


I finally got around to updating this glossary and moving it to a sticky post so that it wouldn't clutter up my profile and I could have LJ-cuts to jump to certain sections!

Although the whole point of these multiple LJ-cuts is for ease of navigation (i.e. if I reference a Matt1993ism in the definition of a Matt1993ism in a different section, I'd link to the proper section), I haven't had the time to actually go through and add all these links, so stay tuned for that. I also thought about adding artwork for certain entries *cough*/crazymegavideo/*cough*, so stay tuned for that too. :)

As I said in the old glossary, if you spot a Matt1993ism I used that I haven't defined here, or if FoxReplace messes up the "pucker up because it's time for lunch" entry again, etc., please let me know :)

EDIT: Added some more Matt1993isms and tags, but still need to add the links and artwork. I'm also pretty sure there was another Matt1993ism that I still forgot to add...

Writer's Block: Toy story

What was your favorite toy when you were a child? Do you still have it? What did it mean to you?
That would definitely be my Super Nintendo because back then, my all-time favorite video game was Super Mario World. To me, it represented a job well done because it was so hard for me to earn free time for it (at least for a while). I still have it.

Cut!

So it turns out my mom didn't feel like taking me to the ACT test today and decided to reschedule it. Yay! I got to go back to bed and have a really, really weird dream. (I mean, seriously, even if a villain creates monsters by drawing them, "Sketch-a-Doodle" still sounds more like the name of a toy [like Etch-a-Sketch] than the name of a villain. What's even creepier is that pathvain_aelien mentioned "snickerdoodle" cookies not too long after I got up. Coincidence?)

After contemplating my Sketch-a-Doodle dream and decorating the Christmas tree, I finished all of my non-essay homework except for one of the math problems in HAS and just a few more review questions for the history and English exams! Yay!

Somewhat fitting quiz of the day:






Well, Matt,
this is a little awkward, but ...
You always claim to see the future then write it down in vague little stanzas








I'm assuming "the apocalypse might be March 25 like my dream said" counts as a "vague little stanza."
