Here at YuppiePunk.org, our job isn’t just to inform and entertain you, but also to make you the hippest cat at the party. In that spirit, we’d like to offer up two new catchphrases that are sure to become not only a part of your vocabulary, but part of the cultural zeigeist. The first is a slant on the popular “chillin’ like a villain / chillin’ like Bob Dylan” idiom. Our version: chillin’ like a chinchilla. Or even better, the abbreviated, chinchillin’. From now on, when someone asks you how you’re doing, rather than telling them you’re chillin’ like penicillin, simply respond, “Chinchillin’ dude. Totally chincillin’.”

The second catchphrase is the name of a tween-targeted show on the Disney channel starring Raven Symone. It is a simple exclamation that can be used to express your enthusiasm for almost any situation. Perhaps you’re at a party and your drunk best friend shows up and hurls his Bacardi and juice all over your brand new Sean John shirt — an appropriate response would be, “Dude, that’s so Raven!” Or when your boyfriend/girlfriend calls you up to tell you the relationship is over, simply tell them, “You know what, that’s so Raven.” Think about it, what could they possibly say to you after that? You can also utter this expression in happier circumstances. Don’t be surprised if on this year’s “Apprentice” finale, after Trump says, “You’re hired,” the winner boasts, “Oh my gosh, that’s so fucking Raven!”

Please enjoy these two new catchphrases. They are a free gift to you, o loyal readers. And by all means, feel free to tell us about your own unique sayings.
