A-L: Hi Caroline. I miss you. What’s happening? I need some material for my blog.
Caroline: Hi. I miss you too. Nothing is happening.
A-L: I don’t believe you. You’re planning a wedding.
Caroline: Honestly. Nothing’s happening. We had to re-shoot our engagement photos because our photographer lost our originals. And our violinist flaked out but we found another one.
A-L: I had no idea there was such a thing as a flaky violinist. What about a fiddler? My dad says it’s a violin when you’re sellin’, and a fiddle when you’re buyin’. Or dueling banjos?
Caroline: And a family friend gave us a welcome mat with our latitude and longitude coordinates on it.
A-L: Wow. I didn’t know Macys sold those. How many did you register for?
Caroline: And
A-L: Except global positioning doormats. They have a Macy’s in
Caroline: The fiddler. And I got a free tote bag for registering for twelve 5-piece place settings.
A-L: Are you giving it away as a door prize at the reception? Or is it the “new” of the “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue”?
Caroline: No, it’s the “something blue”. And our photographer kept telling us to nuzzle and kiss in front of the camera. Which is not Dave's steez exactly. I mean, that's not how we roll on camera. You can quote me.
A-L: Is that why the photographer destroyed the negatives? And what’s ‘steez’? Is that appropriate for a family audience? My mom and dad read my blog. That’s not
Caroline: It means “style”. Like “illin steez”.
A-L: Woah Caroline, I think we’ve drifted.

Ah yes...steez. Actually a hybrid of 'style' and 'ease' I believe. Not a lot of hip-hop culture in Scotland I'm guessing...
When you type +"hip hop" +"Scotland" into Google, you get 2,780,000 results. So there.
Your readers have witnessed the very first time I used the word "steez." Soon I will be ready for words like "crunk" and, uh, well, I can't think of any other terms. And crunk is so, like, 2002. I think.
