Good lord, people are still wearing Ugg boots? Are they wearing them with their Von Dutch t-shirts, too?
[sub]Heh. Muppet feet.[/sub]
I’m so sorry you have to witness that on a daily basis. Uggs are horrible, albeit very appropriately named. Those things are so freaking hideous it actually enrages me to see them. I want to run up to the fashion victim, start shaking them and ask “why god, WHY??” I remember when a coworker of mine was surfing the net and found herself contemplating buying a pair. I flew from my desk over to hers and begged her not to commit such fashion atrocities. I’m happy to report, I was able to talk her out of it. One less pair of Uggs on the street.
You’re welcome.
Amazing some of the things people will wear in the name of fashion. This is right up there with the mustard washed jeans, I’m telling ya.

Assholes can be very pretty, as witness certain ex-boyfriends. (In both senses of the phrase…)
Does she pop/crack her gum, too?
That is a killing offence, to me.
Well, now I know what to get you for Yule this year.
“So, I said to him, I said, ‘you pop that gum one more time…’”
I have seen precisely one person who could put those Ugg things with an outfit and not look like a complete and utter git.
It might help that she’s cute as a button.
60 or 90 minute? Couldn’t they just put it on CD? Then I wouldn’t have to flip the friggen thing. And it better be at the iTunes store. I don’t want to have to run all around the mall for it.
Everyone knows that all the coolest girls have moved on from Uggs and are now wearing mukluks (which keep your feet warm while also serving as Satan’s earthly embodiment as footwear).
Blue eye shadow rules. I went through a phase where I spackled that shit on every day (my hair was blue, too). The right shade can look radtastic.
Middle-aged man checking in, requesting orientation to the twenty-first century:
Am I to understand that “rock” is a twenty-first century form of the verb “to wear”?
Yep. It means (depending on context, actually), to wear (fashionably), to make cooler by your very presence (as in “let’s rock this party/dance floor/bingo parlor”), or to have sex with (see the works of Timberlake comma Justin for this useage).
I think it’s close in connotation to “sport”, in the sense of Ernest lounged by the pool, sporting a plaid g-string and a pair of flipflops.
It’s basically to wear with flair.
Third world country ahy???
Ask yourself where got women the vote first.
Ask yourself where they invented the wiggley bits on a hair pin.
Ask yourself where they make most of the world’s magnetic machiny things to make micro chips with.
I think the invasion is already taking place - Shaniya Twain has bought most of the South Island I believe.
Repeat to yourself: Middle Earth is just a fantasy place.
:eek: Holy Crap! It’s a talking Kiwi bird! :eek:
The way I understand (and use) it, to “rock” something is to do/use/attend it awesomely. As in, you’re rocking the Uggs if they ‘work’ for you (ie you’re Napoleon Dynamite). As a musician, you rock a show if you play it awesomely. You rock a party if either you throw it awesomely or attend it in such a manner that your having attended it transforms it from a lame party into a killer party. (For example, you bring the beer.)
Aye, I started this whole “to rock” question. I apologize! It doesn’t even mean to wear something with flair anymore. It just means to wear.
“Diosa, what are you wearing to school today?”
“Oh, I think I’m going to rock those pink shoes I bought the other day.”
AwSnappity- look what we did!
I thought the same thing. No jury would convict, really!
Note to self…meet Ernest asap! He soooo rocks that g-string.
Did I use it right?
neat-o!
The more I think about it, I use this word in kind of a pejorative and ironic sense, because I am the uncoolest of the uncool (and admittedly I have a slight chip on my shoulder about it). I personally don’t rock anything, but people I don’t like “rock” clothes I don’t like. Like that girl over there rocks that Von Dutch trucker cap, and that boy is rocking that wristband worn on his forearm. The connotation that my friends and I attach to it is kind of condescending, like, “Look how hard she’s trying to dress all trendy, isn’t that cute?” But admittedly that’s just my personal interpretation, cause I’m a bitch.
