Excerpt
My favorite slang term of late has come to symbolize much more than its initially crude connotation; it has grown to envelop and define a very private, intimate circle of friends. What began a few months ago as a way to insult some one without stooping to the gauche, unrefined, and high-schoolish "F--- you!" has surpassed any possible preconception or wildest expectation of what its germination might yield and has blossomed into a virtual dictionary of nonverbal communication. The term "Two words... " has come to convey any one of a hundred different messages. "Two words" is the "aloha" of Valparaiso University (or at least my little corner of VU).
