The following are phrases, words and notions that I've adopted in the ten weeks I've lived up here... Explanations are best kept to a minimum- nothing ever gets explained terribly well up here, and I kinda like it.
OMGWTFFTS- "Oh My God, What The Fuck, Fuck This Shit."- Sort of the mantra for our first week of school. I still keep it handy.
"Probably not today."- Says it all.
"Nothing works here."- Ditto.
"A Plan is just a series of events that don't happen."
"Adii"- Inupiaq for "I don't waaaaaannnna." Best said in a grating whine.
"Sometimes always never."- Once in a blue fucking moon.
"Alaapaa."- Inupiaq for "It's cold." With perhaps a "god damn it" on the end, depending on the tone.
"Make your peace with ugly"- A repeated catchphrase from Yours Truly to the two experienced teachers who are new to Village life.
