Floor

1) To knock a person off of his/her feet, or to stun (eaxaggeration).

My statement about the latest stock market developments floored him; he was stunned.

Frazier floored Cosell with a huge left.

HW

Abbreviation of 'homework'. Or 'nuisance'.

I can't get A's without doing my HW. I might be a lot more cheerful, however, if I took a break some days. In fact, I sometimes consider waiting until the lunch period to do it. Hmmm...

I always end up doing it at home.

Utter

1) To say/speak.

2) Complete, full; in reference to abstract concepts, rather than objects.

1) Strangely enough, Albert didn't utter a word after his convincing victory.

2) Steven's utter happiness was kept hidden under the indifferent expression he always carried.

Fritos

The best of all corn chips. Many different types of Fritos (i.e. Fritos Scoops) have been formed from the original.

And so then he crushed my Fritos into tiny bits, proclaiming that I now had "more Fritos."

Ump

Shortened form of 'umpire' used by baseball players, managers, and anyone connected with the game.

Fans don't call umpires 'umps'- they usually use more offensive names.

Capitol Hill

A very uncomfortable place to sit if one's name happens to be Bill.

Ty: What are you doing here?

Bill: Well, I'm just sitting here on Capitol Hill.

Ty: Loser.

Don't worry Bill, I'm rooting for you.
