friends from college Flashcards
-I’m trying to get some purchase. -Put me down.
It’s okay. You kneed me in the vagina, just a little bit. It’s okay.
I have to fly home to New York, I’m going standby.
You guys had a 20-year run. That’s more than either of your marriages.
Your novels all have teenage protagonists anyway.
So call her back at a more opportune time!
I’m sorry, I don’t know why I keep getting hung up on this. I am so sorry
This girl’s going to fill out to be ten, maybe 12 pounds.
I live in a different borough, so–
It’s just the preamble here. Now it’s starting.
If you get a purchase on something, you manage to get a firm grip on it. [formal] I got a purchase on the rope and pulled. I couldn’t get any purchase with the screwdriver on the damn screws. Synonyms: grip, hold, support, footing More Synonyms of purchase.
to hit someone with your knee:

You don’t have to grunt every time you hit the ball.
They’re all dog-eared and the spines cracked
That bassist looks like he’s about to keel over.
Every student periodical went nuts for us. Raves.
What if he’s a hodgepodge of sexy parts?
I think you’re an outlier in your demographic.
Oh, man, so what is that, just chopped up Adderall? مطحون
She toils every day in drudgery and you do nothing to support her!
keel over
to fall over suddenly:
temping
work in which you are employed for a short period, especially in an office while another person is absent or when there is extra work:
A lot of people do temping for the flexibility.
periodical
a magazine or newspaper, especially on a serious subject, that is published regularly:
I am 40 years old! The drawbridge is going up, man! It’s now or never for me!
-Hey, can I get a drag of that? -Yeah.
I’ve got to live it up while I can, right?
So Randal and Jasmine are in love, but it’s unrequited.
We got games, we got costumes, we’re cosplaying it. I love it.
So you’re ending the affair pre-emptively so that you don’t end up feeling hurt?
[Felix] Once we’ve got as many mature follicles
as your body will produce on the drugs,
I’ll pick the ideal moment for your trigger shot,
also known as HCG.
If we could also just have some non-pornographic magazines
that have more wholesome women on the covers?
Let me just ask you, exactly how long is the razzing going to go on?
That’s valid, but I’m gonna have to ask you to light the wick.
So I am very excited about exploring
the burgeoning local Long Island wine scene with you guys
we’re gonna hit four of the North Fork’s premier vineyards.
And, hey, don’t beat yourself up about it.
Because 5% or 6% of the time
you can chalk it all up to lab error.
Well, they’re circling the drain.
I was mad because I was singled out
for something everyone else was doing.
I think everyone should’ve been yelled at.
(idiomatic) To be in rapid decline or a state of downfall, especially as leading to inevitable utter failure or destruction.
You guys are stuck in some 20-year time warp.
Thank you! My husband is in an adjoining room with his ex-wife.
think it’s more of a “don’t give an extemporaneous speech” kind of thing.
[Anka] You know what might be up your alley?
I actually pissed on the fire hydrant.
-I haven’t seen her in a long time. -Where’s her husband?
I don’t know. He’s not here.
Yeah, I mean, are they solid, you know?
Because me and her are vibing, kind of hitting it off.
Actually, that has been debunked.
and not to sit there and watch you just fawn over Dr. Horn Dog Party Dog.
extemporaneous
done or said without any preparation or thought:
chiefly US, informal. : especially suited to someone’s tastes or abilities I love books, so volunteering at the library is up my alley. That’s right up my alley.
I’m not flirting with her to rile you up!
It’s stupid. Let’s get inside. You want to cut a rug with Fun Ethan?
Our stupid kiss from the other night
just derailed my step-daughter’s Harvard interview,
-I pay a lot in alimony. -[Nick] Oh.
They have a great golf course. We could get some plaid pants, hit the links.
Can you believe we would sleep through the night together in one of these?
Unbelievable. Look, everything’s the same.
The tapestries over the beds
cut a rug
dance, especially in an energetic or accomplished way.
“a place where a fella and a gal can cut a rug”
And then I made this joke about the bridesmaids
that was a little risky, uh,
but it just brought the house down.
I hope you don’t accidentally fuck some stranger
on the way to hobble over and get it.
What’s up, gimpy?
You’ve been so pouty since your boyfie left.
I just sometimes wonder what would happen if it was blown to smithereens
and I got to start all over again.
Is that crazy?
smithereens
a lot of very small broken pieces:
Whenever you see me zoning out, I’m thinking about that bear
running around inside our house.
-A bear doesn’t have opposable thumbs. -Stop talking about this bear thing.
Hi, welcome to our shindig. Good to see you.
Let’s all reflect for a moment on our good fortune,
which is so rare and so precarious in this world.
-I do? -Well, We’re finding through our research
that the title “Equestriana”
isn’t quite resonating with our teen-girl audience.
You know, my leg cramps after ten miles.
[Jon] Come on. We lucked out. Come on, right here.
What has she ever done
that requires her to write a tell-all?
Ladies and gentlemen, the suckling pig is now ready. Follow me.
-Which is your prerogative.
[on phone] This adulterous affair began before we got married and
continued through the birth of both of our beautiful children, little…

So your friend just buys a new car every time one gets impounded?
Wow, you really know how to sweep a girl off her feet.
Okay, this is everything to sign, wherever there’s a tag, and we’re done.
-She does? -The eyes and nose. It’s uncanny.
do you feel you should wear a tuxedo at your wedding
that you can’t fit into right now? That was tailored aspirationally?
I don't know what came over me. It was-- Are you in a different jersey? Jerry and I trade at the end of the game, so we give them back at work. Why? The pageantry.
outstanding adjective (NOT FINISHED) not yet paid, solved, or done: $450 million in outstanding debts
I feel you can move forward
and you just getting pulled back into, like, the morass of Ethan and Sam.
And not– He says I get belligerent and handsy.
I’m in the doghouse.
Atlantic City hot tubs?
More like a yeast-infection broth.
I had no idea that you were out cold فاقد الوعي the entire time. Are you okay?
I just thought it would be fun to lowbrow it.
Lisa… obviously has some unresolved anger towards…
Victoria Beckham.
You okay? You look flushed.
This is so weird.
Like I’m not horny at all,
but I have this angry boner that is like beyond engorged.
