    Word on the Street: The 2nd Annual Vitamin Victionary

    Just in time for back-to-school, we've compiled a list of our favourite words and catchphrases—this round is sure to make Oxford's next edition.

    Eat Pray Loved (v.): The act of leaving one's spouse to embark on an Oprah-approved journey of self-enlightment (may include an independence party, book club and ashram)
    Usage: Did you hear about Sally and Paul? She eat, pray, loved him!

    Tweethearts (n.): Couples who are infatuated with each other over Twitter but whose relationship would never exist in real life.
    Usage: I hope my boyfriend doesn’t mind that I’m spending all weekend flirting with my tweetheart.

    The jardigan (n.): When a jacket and cardigan meet—surely more staying power than jeggings?
    Usage: If his jardigan weren’t cashmere I wouldn’t have taken it. But I just can’t resist good Scottish cashmere.

    Bagacitis (n.): A reoccurring inflammation of the shoulder and upper arm area as a result of carrying a heavy handbag.
    Usage: Just the thought of the It Bag being back in style has made my bagacitis flare up.
