    Whatcha-ma-call-it

    I recently thought of something. I bet a lot of people have words that others never heard. (either a generation gap, or a word common to a particular area of the world, or it is made up, but you KNOW what it means when you hear it)
    I think people would get a laugh out of these words.

    I'll start:

    When you don't know what to call something, call it a

    Narmy - that wonderful feeling when you're sleepy & happy. Like on a rainy day.

    Weeber - a section (or sections) of hair that's gone horribly awry. My westie used to wake up after sleeping under the covers with some outta sight weebers!

    This isn't so much a word, as a pharsing...since I moved to Toledo, I have noticed a lot more people add "or no?" to the end of a question.
    Example:
    Do you want pizza for dinner, or no?

    Seems a little redundant to me
