🔘 Wonky

What does wonky mean?

◻️Weird

When something seems strange or out of character, it is "wonky." For example, when you push down your car's accelerator and the car makes a clunking sound, you might tell your mechanic that it's acting wonky (and they will then roll their eyes).
It is unclear where wonky comes from, but some scholars say it dates back to the "wankul" word in Proto-West Germanic, which means "shaky or unstable." Over the years, the word has evolved into the non-technical "wonky" term, which people use when describing something off-kilter or behaving strangely.
Examples of things that may be wonky include a picture frame on a wall, any machinery, flooring, and bizarre food. Additionally, people acting odd may be wonky, like your uncle Bruno or that pirate Captain Jack Sparrow.


❓Example
The school cafeteria lunch looked a little wonky today, so I didn't eat it
I did and I'm regretting it

🔘 Broseph

What is a broseph?

◻️A male friend

Broseph is another way to refer to a male friend. The term combines bro and "Joseph" although you do not have to be named Joseph to be a broseph.
The term is often utilized in reference to a good friend but can be used to describe another male much like "dude." Broseph is commonly said by males that exhibit stereotypical male traits, such as lifting weights, playing sports, and going to the club to meet some shawties.


❓Example
Hey broseph, can you pass the salt?
