Daria Slang

I had an interesting idea the other day. Suppose we compile a list of new slang words using the names of Daria characters, with definitions based on the characters' behaviors. After we create a list that we all like, we begin using the words outside of the newsgroup. With any luck, one or more of the words will eventually make its way into the mainstream American lexicon and we and the show will have achieved a certain level of immortality.

Here are a few off the top of my head:

Quinn: verb; to use one's looks to obtain favors from a member of the opposite sex.

ex. "Whenever Amy wants a day off, she just starts quinning and some guy always agrees to work her shift."

Barch: verb; to hate someone or something due to an illogical mental association.

ex. "I know I shouldn't barch, but I don't like him. He reminds me of Ted Bundy."

Trent: adjective; lacking in ambition and motivation.

ex. "Whenever I take a vacation, I'm completely trent on my first day back to work."

A similar adverb was used in reference to a band I know of. "Dave" was the guy who was very laid back. So when someone asked what you were doing, you could say, "I'm davin'..."

Well if I remember correctly, I don't think a true chester would get it even after you explain it.
