All of my friends like to say "foreal". First of all, it would be spelled "for real". Second, is it "foreal" as opposed to "fofake"?

The antonym of for real real is for play play. That is unlikely to be on the verbal portion of the SAT.

I have two major ones:

-When did invitations become invites? I will admit that we had a bit of a joke about women we would invite back to parties. The ones we really wanted got invitations, the ones who were definitely B list got invites. Seeing invites on when looking for invitations made me think twice about which place I eventually used. Invites = terribly low class to me.

and

-"All the trimmings" Commercials asking for donations to sundry homeless shelters etc, so that the residents can have turkey with all the trimmings bring out a violent streak in me. Who decorates a turkey? Does that mean that there are ornaments in the cavity? Twinkle lights on the legs? Ugh. And yes, I sent some money to two different ones today, but with the caveat that the phrase "all the trimmings" is shorthand for "we don't give a rat's a$$ what these people are going to be served with their turkey. Yeah, that's how much it upsets me.
