  • Chester Beltowski‎: CLAW trip starts… Right… Meow! I have to make several stops before i get to Cleveland on Wednesday. Either way, 14 hours on the road means I get to get caught up on‪ #‎CubsOutLoud‬.
  • Chester Beltowski‎: (I took a short break to play some Prince but we’re back to the shows…) Gary, Hadrian did that to me at TBRU. I walked up to say “hi” and he said he was about to go get some food and he invited me to come with. I guess the trick is to approach him when he’s looking famished?

Urbandictionary with Gary

Neener-neener

A childish taunt or jeer pronounced with a nasal sneer, for lack of a more intelligent retort to someone else’s jeer or taunt, usually from a peer. Sometimes sung to the tune of “Ring-Around-the-Rosy” for really driving the point home.

My definition is better than all the other stupid definitions listed here – neener neener.

Weekly Topic
