Now that's love...

Lady on the D6, on the phone: "Before I met you, I wasn't nothing but a regular bitch on the corner." Now there's some good old fashioned Northeast-style self esteem. Nothing says love quite that way.

Dude at a bus stop watches me get on my bike following a group run, and comments: "You're ridin a bike after running? Calves ain't big enough!"

Escalefting.

One teenage-white girl-tourist to a group of others on the escalator at metro center:
"Guys, we're escalefting!"
TWGT II: "Really? Is that what it's called?"
TWGT I: "Yea, that's what they call it!"

I never really thought I'd hear that used in conversation, but I was glad at least one person in that group was aware of their culturally insensitive behavior towards DC residents and demanded that the others take corrective action. I guess those ridiculous signs really did serve a purpose!!
