Hilarious!

Best words:
Schtooned: when someone takes your chair when you get up to do something (ex. cats)
Loveitate: to love someone so much it feels like you’re floating
Googie: piece of food stuck in your teeth (I think foogie would be better)
Momtraband: the stuff you hide from your mom when she visits, especially from your bedside table
