Waffle House

The United States' largest chain of truck stops.

When I was at Waffle House, I listened to a pair of truckers talk about alligators on the road. It took some time for me to realize that these "alligators" were actually large pieces of tire.

Clam Up

To suddenly keep unusually quiet, often in regards to the divulging of information.

Carol clammed up about the incident at the bakery, so we never did find out whatever happened to Nate.

Sophisticate

One who is sophisticated.

Classy sophisticates like me use big words in our sentences. Did I say big? I meant polysyllabic. Polysyllabic!

'

The apostrophe can:

1) substitute for a word/space in a contraction.

2) show possession when placed at the end of a word and followed by 's', save for words that end in 's' or the word 'its'.

3) be used instead of a 'g' in the progressive tense (is doing, was doing, etc.).

1) He's climbing pretty rapidly.

2) Stephanie's shorts were too small, but nobody complained.

3) I'm checkin' e-mail.
