So wad? Means you're being robbed? Of wad??!!
Aren't you adsorbing what you've learnt? Like a sponge?
Then, why not call it sponging? I mean it sounds much more appropriate, "Don't bug me!! I'm sponging!!"
HAHA!! Another thought came into my head...for me to know, for you to find out.
So weird these people around me. "k, I'm gona mug now." Imagine the shock I got when I first heard the word. I was like, "OMG!! Why would you wana do that?"
"Exams are approaching, so I've to mug."
"err....ookaayyyyy. Then I'd rather exams not come."
"Do you know wad mug means?"
"Of cos, you think I'm stupid or wad? There're 2 meanings to mug. One's the thing you use to drink, the other is to, you know, rob. I still don't get why you wana mug."
"Mug also means studying."
"oh really?? Since when?"
Who came up with that word to use for that meaning??!!
K, I'm gonna mug/ sponge/ study now.
