The Great Nacho Spill of '08, The Office, and the Versatility of the Word "skadoosh"

And it was just that. Epic.

So I'm walking through the lunch room towards my table holding my black lunch tray. On this lunch tray (that I noticed is only hosed off with a stream of water and wiped off between uses, gag.) was a scoop of canned pineapple, cold pasta, and of course, a paper red and white checked basket of nachos.

And these were no wimpy nachos. Nosiree, MY nachos have chips, salsa, cheese, meat sauce, and diced tomatoes. So basically, what nachos should be.

Anyways, as I'm strolling along, two hands holding the tray, one of my friends Mike, gives me one of those tough guy half nods and waves, "hey!" I raise my right hand to return the greeting but instead, succeed only in flipping the tray, catapulting the entire thing of nachos across the floor

... and all over someone's backpack.

Whoops?

Thankfully, the situation wasn't as mortifying as it could have been. The guy whose backpack I had turned into a fondue mound simply turned to take one look at his bag ... and then continued on eating.

I must say, guys aren't complete tools all the time.

And while there was certaintly plenty of laughter... hey, I can say that I was laughing with them.

Because you've got to admit it, it was pretty funny.

I'm trying to write a little faster here because the new episode of The Office is on in 5 minutes.

But quick let me tell you what my new favorite word is.

skadoosh.

I've gone through phases where everyone's either a "tool" or a "douchebag", but skadoosh is in a league of its own.

For one thing, I made this one up, and that gives it automatic points.

PLUS, it means anything and everything.

Yes that's right, skadoosh can be a noun, a verb, an adjective, a prounoun, an adverb. Whatever you want it to be. AND, it can have both a positive and a negative connotation. If that doesn't sufficiently blow your mind, then I obviously don't know what the word sufficiently mean.

Example of a Positive connotation:
1: "So how do you think you did on that algebra test?"
2: "It was way easy! It was a definite skadoosh for me."

Example of a Negative connotation.
1: "Hey dude, that dance move you did was totally rad."
2: "No way man, I totally skadooshed that ending."

As a comeback.

1. "Hey man. Your face is ugly. Did your neck throw up or something?"
2. "Your mom. Ska - DOOSH."

Ya get my drift?

The Office is on, I'm going to sign off.

Peace out peeps
skadoosh!
