Girt by Snow

Don't know about you but whenever I go on a trip with any of my mates we always end up with a few comments or words that become the latest buzz words/comments.

Last week's trip to the snow was no exception.

The two buzz words that got the biggest work out this trip were:

Hectic and Girt. (Ryan tried to get "Gnarly" back into the fray but he was living in the past with that one).

Not your signature words by any means, but managed to get a full and complete workout by us all.

These buzz words usually come about by one of two means:

- someone just blurts out a rippa of a comment/word that needs to be repeated ad-f@#king-nauseum.
- we sit there trying to think of something that's gonna be super funny to repeat ad-f@#king-nauseum.

The usual method is the first one - which was how "hectic" came about. The other method usually doesn't work because its generally the spontaneity of the situation that makes the phrase so funny. But with "Girt" it was different.

For some reason, which i forget - mighta had a few bevvies, unlikely, but possible ;) someone was reciting the national anthem or something and the term "girt" was talked about. Then someone said, "We should try and use this word as much as possible this week." In normal circumstances this blatant attempt at creating a buzz word usually falls on its head straight away. It just isnt cricket. But here's the kicker, someone came up with a beauty later that night when we were out at a pub. I think it was Ryan who said, "This place is girt by dude." - Oh, what a beauty!

The term "hectic" came about via Ben's bro and his mates. When ever you asked them how their day was the hectic term would get used in some way shape or form. It took on many meanings. For example, a response of "it was pretty hectic out there" could mean either:

a) There were a lot of punters.
b) I was pulling all sorts of moves
c) We had a massive day
d) the weather was bad, or good, for that matter

So to sum up our week in one sentence I'd have to say: We had a pretty hectic week at a place that was girt by snow, hi-jinx and dude.
