One of my coworkers likes to talk about her pet cockatail.
Hmmm...Is it possible that she named her, "cockatail", Margarita?
If not, you might suggest that this would be an excellent name for the unique breed that she owns.
In the aftermath of a couple of meteor sightings over NJ yesterday, among the comments posted online was this gem:
"I totally saw it."
I guess that, "totally" seeing something is much better than if one was only able to see it partially.
Why do so many younger people nowadays feel the need to tell us that they did/saw something, "totally", when it would be sufficient (and likely, more accurate) to simply say that they did it, or saw it?

I think the correct phraseology needs at least 1 or 2 dudes + 1 like. As in:
I still remember the lab reports we hand wrote out in a junior high science class -- the teacher went ballistic, since the majority of us has misspelled "separate" as "seperate" (used many times in the report). Never forgot it - I call it a "sandwich" word -- 2 vowels sandwiching 2 matching vowels: e-a-a-e. Like Delaware.
I read somewhere on City-Data: Remember that there is always a rat in "separate".
I learned to spell "separate" like this: "There is A RAT in separate."
^^ I should have read ahead!!!
