A: And she's so g---ted.
Me: Are you saying gutted or guttered?
A: Gutted, like really upset.

A: My mum has 'Hey Soul Sister' as her ringtone so ever time it plays I think of her.
Me: The first time I heard it I was with a friend and she just looked at me and said 'cut a rug'?
K: Cut a Rug?
Me: Yeah, you know, "The way you can cut a rug, watching you the only drug I need, I'm so gangster, I'm so thug, your the only one I'm dreaming of."
A: Cut a Rug? What does that mean?
Me: It's an old 70s (?) saying that means to dance.
K: Oh, I thought it meant rug burns!
