Lagoon Lexicon - Part One


During our two years at the Lagoon, we came up with some nitche phrases for specific situations.
However, we got too comfortable with our slang, and when we attempted to use these words in the outside world during everyday conversation, people looked at us like we were Tom Cruise crazy.

So I felt the need to relive and bring back those words and phrases that made the Lagoon so great...I give you: The Lagoon Lexion (Part 1)

ury: really exceptionally angry or annoyed; furious. (adjective)
  • Origin - originally from the word "furious", which then became "Ury the Fury", which was then shortened to just "ury"

  • Example - "I just tried to get late night at Jimmy Johns and they were closed - omg I am sooo ury."
sigmachi: (sigMAHchee) Kind of chachi, alpha male who likes to weightlift, wear tight shirts, and just be super-meaty all day long; Throws kegs off of things like houses; likes kreotine; Dan Palace
  • Origin - Sigma Chi Alpha Chapter at Miami University; person does not have to be a Sigma Chi, but can just display sigmachi-like behaviors

  • Example - "He's really cute, but just super sigmachi."
Thats all for now! More words to come in the next edition. Please comment and give other examples of situations that would use ury and sigmachi, my brain is fried :)
