Saw this item on the reader this morning: Mission Mission points to a post on Hidden Host (now we wish our site’s name was an alliteration), which gives us a fine helping of what teenagers talk about on the bus.

For example:

Your cousin already got an iPad.

She keeps calling and like, asking if she can meet your cousin.  NO.

You went to your cousin’s house and saw his new pair of sneakers, and you are able to readily attest to the fact that they are “dope”.

Reminds me a bit of this OH gem from just the other day:

Overheard on Muni, spoken by an early 20-something: “She’s doing old person stuff today. Like sending emails.” – @karenmckevitt

So, naturally, we turn to you: What nuggets of wisdom have you heard spew forth from teenage lips while riding the bus lately?

Last month, we posted a call for metaphors comparing our lovely little beleaguered transit system to, well, to anything readers wanted. We got some nice responses.

But now, over the last 12 hours, we’ve seen a couple show-stopping tweets of the Muni-metaphor variety. They’re both of the same sub-genre:

“muni is like a dude you sleep with once who steals all the covers and keeps trying to have sex with you while you’re trying to go to bed.” by @janee_

and

“Muni is like a dude you wake up to after a drunken night of alchool & thrown up pizza in your bed.” by @moMegs

So it’s time for another request: Single people, recently shacked-up, married, whatever … think of your best or worst dating experiences and compare them to Muni. Okay, GO!
