Welcome to our new feature, Slang of the Week. Every week we’d like to share with you a phrase from our shared vocabulary. Some of these phrases and terms are available in the Urban Dictionary, some are not. This week’s term is squirrel. Nick and I have had this one in heavy rotation for a couple years now. Don’t be afraid to use it.

Anne Hathaway is tops in my book. I know she looks like Maria Menounos if she’s wears a lot of makeup - but I’ll let it sliiiide.
She’s stunning - a real beauty. Seriously, if there were a secret club that beautiful women belonged to, Anne would be sitting next to Cindy Crawford and Salma Hayek. And talk about someone you could take home to mom - one smile and it’d be over! That smile could light up the Mariana’s Trench.
Beauty aside, Annie (as she’s known to her friends), is a versatile actress. From family friendly Disney movies to heavy Ang Lee dramas, to ridiculous comedies with Steve Carell, she can do it all. She’s isn’t afraid to use all her assets, or to paraphrase one of the old timers at work, “she ain’t afraid to pull the rack out.” I say, good observation.
I was both surprised and delighted to discover that Hathaway turned down the lead role in Knocked Up. I disliked that film and I’m glad that Anne saw it the way I did: devoid of humor.
Anne Hathaway. Million dollar smile? Check! Talent and Range? Double Check! Do I want to stick it to her? C-H-E-C-K!
