Polytechnic Lingo Dictionary - EXTRA

Aw man, the long weekend is over. =( Well, at least there's the income we got from Ang Bao collection, mwahaha! Time to buy myself a new pair of shades.

So anyway, we were taking a look at the people who visit our blog, and discovered that there were 4 visitors from GERMANY. 0_o ... Hello there! Erm, Guten Morgen! (I believe that means "good morning"!).

So in celebration of our international visitations, we've decided to put together a list of very "Poly-ish" terms. Sometimes you hear the way poly students talk, you'd think they have their own lingo and language.

WELL IT'S TRUE. Announcing our Polytechnic Lingo Dictionary!

WORD OF THE WEEK -
"EXTRA"

Extra (ek.strah) [adjective] -

• When referring to an OBJECT: something that is unnecessary, either by its very nature or what it's being used for. For example:
  


• "Eh don't put your bag there leh, people find it difficultt to walk past the door! So extra!" or


• "You buy that book for what, so extra! You don't even read!"


• When referring to a PERSON: someone that did something really unnecessary, lame or obvious. It's quite a versatile word for people, really. For example:


• "Eh they're going on a date, you want to join them for what? Don't extra lah!" or
  


• "Eh, the tutor ask us to raise one hand, you raise both and wave so hard, why so extra??" or
  


• "Fanning you very extra leh!"

The important thing to note is the facial expression when you say it. I managed to get Dumdum to pose for a classic "Oi you very extra leh" shot.


Heh. Heh. Heh.
