According to the UCLA Slang Dictionary 6th edition, obama now means cool. So, if I were to show up to work rocking new kicks and a coworker admired them, she might be inclined to say they were "obama."
Oh, why am I talking about this?
Well, for one today is my birthday and just so happens to be Mr. Cool himself, Barack Obama's birthday, as well.
So, by association I happened to have been born cool since I was born on the birth of cool. Beat that. I asked someone special what was better than being born cool and she nonchalantly replied, "being born cooler." Damn. I guess I'll settle for cool today and cooler tomorrow.
Also, there are some other birthdays to be recognized to today. Louis Armstrong was born on this date, enough said. And Percy Bysshe Shelley, one of the major English Romantic poets, critically regarded among the finest lyric poets in the English language was also born today.
Lastly, let me give a shout out to Kelli and Sarah...booyah.
