I was at “The Office” earlier today, enjoying some friendly camaraderie. Blyss and I were enjoying watching as a lesbian hook-up ensued. One woman was clearly hitting on the other, who was most likely straight. Watching the first woman work for the ‘toaster’ was truly amusing. Blyss and I were sitting at the bar and they were at a nearby table when:

Blyss: Did you see that?
Hauself: No, what happened?
Blyss: Oh, you are eyes T blocked.
Hauself: What?
Blyss: eyes T blocked [she makes a “T” symbol with her hands.]
Hauself: I don’t know what you are saying?
Blyss [slowly and with accompanying sign language]: You are Iced Tea Blocked.
Hauself: Ah…. I get you. Ok. Yes. I missed it. I thought you were throwing some new ghetto speak at me and I couldn’t figure it out.

What had happened was Blyss had a clear view of the couple and witnessed some ‘move’, while from my vantage point of the incident, I was being blocked by the large iced tea tank situated on the bar for easy delivery to the lunch crowd.

Whew. I thought I was out of touch with some new ‘urban lingo.’

So if you are chillin’ with the crowd, and happen to witness something your friend doesn’t, just roll up on ‘em and say, “ Yo, what are you “iced tea blocked?”

Maybe it will be in Webster’s next year. Hee hee.
