Do you remember the first time you ever heard a certain word?

I clearly remember the first time I heard the word “book,” to mean “run like hell.” I also remember the first time I heard the word “apeshit.”

Both times were in the smoking area at my high school, during whatever break. Before school started one morning, several of us were out there, and our friend came in with a story about smoking some pot by a nearby church that morning, when the police cruised by. “We booked it to school!” he said. I thought, “What an interesting description!”

And then I heard the word “apeshit” at another time. I don’t remember the context, but it was hilarious!

Who even makes this stuff up? <<That’s a question all its own!
