Here at Busy Bee Lauren I like to use special words and phrases. You see, I excel at spelling, and I happen to have exceptional grammar. In fact, I was thinking about majoring in English Writing, but then I realized how much I hate writing papers, and dissecting poems by crazy poets. As I was saying, I know how to construct a sentence, but that's boring! So I like to use an insane amount of slang and made-up words on my blog for maximum awesomeness. I try to reach a slang-quota for each post, actually. So here is a guide if you get lost:
Srsly - I use this when I want to put emphasis on the word "seriously". When I type it, I almost always say it aloud as well. It also is accompanied with a sideways nod to the side and a half-eye roll. It's pretty much legit.
Legit - Used when I am talking about something awesome. For example: "Zac Efron is legit." or "Golden Spoon Frozen Yogurt is legit dot com." It is to reinforce how awesome I think things are.
Lamespice - This is used when referring to something that is so beyond lame that it needs a "spice" added to it. Lamespice can be used as an expression, for example: "I have cramps today. Not even chocolate can cure it. Ugh! Lamespice!" Or it can be used to describe something, such as: "Cafe Rio is lamespice, but Costa Vida is bomb. Obvi!"
Obvi - This is a good word. I love saying it because it is so ridiculous. You see, "obvi" is just a shortened word for "obviously"...obvi! BUT the funny thing is, saying "obvi" is about the same work as saying "obviously" so it doesn't really serve a purpose. It just makes everyone feel cool to say...obvi! See? It's fun. And stupid.
Totes - When I say "totes" I am NOT referring to a cute Juicy Couture tote bag. I am in fact referring to something totally awesome. For example: "I TOTES just ordered a Juicy bag online!" The awesomespice word "totes" makes some people mad. I think those people need to be given a hug. No one should get mad at people for TOTES using awesome words. Here TOTES is a hug for you, angry person! (((hugs)))
Sicknast - This word is so beautiful that is a ironic. You see, "sicknast" completely encompasses how much I despise certain things. Should I use Cafe Rio as an example again? I think so. Example: "Cafe Rio's salads are soooo sicknast!" You see? Awesome. Combining the words "sick" and "nasty" for the birth of the mega word: "sicknast" is one of the most holy word marriages in the fake english language. You can all thank me for this.
Tedward - This is the unwanted and ultra-hated nickname that I bestowed about my loving husband, Ted. You see, I felt that Ted possessed the awesomespice qualities of my beloved Edward Cullen...so I birthed another mega word: Tedward. Genius right? Yes. Want to know what else is genius? The fact that I called him Tedward on my blog for over a year before he found out. Awesome.

(sigh) I love that you mentioned your love of proper spelling and grammar, yet are free to use personally coined words and phrases without a hint of guilt or hesitation. :D
Just have to say... "Lamespice" is the best word ever. My friend and I add spice to anything...
Awesomespice
retardedspice
slowspice
hotspice
It basically adds another dimension to whatever word you want! Thanks for bringing us this awesomespice way to communicate Lauren!!
Lauren-Lingo totally makes me happy. I mean, totes. Yeah. :)
I totes love your lingo!! You are hilarious (obvi) :)
i loved reading this! Making up random words that just ooze awesomeness is one of the best past times ever. And I hope that you'll keep on making them up, because I love using them :)
Firstly, you rock my socks. Secondly, you should say "natch" as a synonym for "obvi". It screams BBL.
so as i was reading this my 9 1/2 month old took a dump .... sicknast.
Srsly, Lauren's awesomespice legit blog is spankingspice, I just want to totes her a high five for her awesomespiceness, cuz it is totally not lamespice or sicknast. Obvi!
thank god someone else has a crush/obsession with disney stars other than me. what would i do with without the disney channel and their amazingly beautiful actors. myyy law!
Okay, I discovered your blog a couple days ago and have been srsly loving it. This post, however, takes it to a whole new level. Love the lingo, love the Efron, and LOOOOOVE the CDC. New favorite blog? I think so.
when reading this, i caught myself nodding along to each word.
like yuppp, that is so right.
yup, use that one.
mmmhmm, only way to describe it.
i am so glad someone has finally started a list of lingo. and i agree that all haters out there need a hug. totes mcgoats.
I don't know why it has taken me this long to read this section of your blog, but I was literally, audibly, laughing. I feel like if we met in real life we would be friends-I know that's a big statement but it's 100% true (in a totally non-creepy way...no really, trust me).
Reasons:
#1 The way you phrase things in writing is how I think things in my head sometimes-totally weird coincidence.
#2 My husband and I love making up words and having odd conversations about it.
Ex: His name is Jim Bob, my name is Kelsey Anne, so naturally our couple name is KaBob.
#3 I watched "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" the same night you posted the "crying Leo" pic; really weird.
#4 The first thing I said to Jim when we started dating was that I can't stand bad grammar, even in a text message.
So we should be insta-friends in real life, but I'm now too afraid to ever meet you for fear of ruining the mental relationship.
:)
girl!
bahahah
you crack me up.
like your our blog, a lot.
how did you allow comments on your extra pages? i've looked everywhere and can't figure it out?
your dictionary is hilarious. i use abbreviations (totes, legit, obvi) all the time, too, and people always get mad at me so i'm glad there is someone else in the world who thinks they're ok! i like your blog!

Girl I am a fan and ultra user of "totes" and "legit" too! The best is throwing totes-ma-goats when you really super agree. judging by the reaction of others, i think they understand exactly what I mean.
Also, I am overly obsessed with "The Efron" too. My friend from JR.High even acted WITH him so I feel like I have somewhat of a connection and since I am single and he is now single... who knows what could happen right? Power of positive thinking..
i love this!! :) so awesome :)
I'm so glad someone else says "sicknast." Hahahaha!
new blog subscriber. wow you are amazing and you pull in readers with your words! LOVED this! laughed so hard i cried and i can totally see you using these words! thanks for writing!
"The Efron" and "V-Hugs" thing is awesome. So funny....... :)
