The Letter P

Definition
A friendly way to say goodbye.

Example
Peace out, guys. I'm going home.

Etymology
'Peace' started being used as a greeting in the 1960s. 'Out' comes from a standard way of finishing a conversation on a two-way radio -- 'over and out'.

Synonyms
later

====

Definition
Someone who likes being with other people and who is good at working with people.

Example
1)
Holly is a great stewardess -- she likes to fly and she's a real people person!
2)
Jane is not a people person. Luckily, her job does not require her to spend a lot of time with clients.

Etymology
This term became popular in the 1990s. It was first used in corporations as a way to describe friendly people who are good at sales and customer service.

====

Definition
Excellent, cool, the greatest.

Example
That skateboard is so phat. It's the best I've ever seen!

Etymology
'Phat' is an African-American slang version of 'fat' which has become very popular in the last few years. The use of 'fat' to describe something that is good goes back to the 1500s, and derives from the idea that the fat in a cow's milk is the best part of it.

Synonyms
bomb, cool

====

Definition
To eat large amounts of food quickly and without good manners; to overeat
Example
1)
The pizza is here ! Let's pig out !

2)
At the game, we pigged out on hamburgers and french fries.

Etymology
Pigs are famous for enthusiastically eating enormous quantities of food. So when a human 'pigs out', he or she is eating much like a pig.

====

Definition
To stop talking; to lower the volume. Frequently used as a command meaning "Be quiet!"

Example
1)
Pipe down! Mom's talking on the phone.

2)
Hey, pipe down in there -- I'm trying to think!

Etymology
In the old days in the British navy, musical pipes were used to send messages to the crew. The last pipe message of the day was called 'pipe down', and it signalled the time to be quiet and go to bed.

Etymology
'Pre' means 'before', and 'med' is short for 'medical'. This term is very common at American colleges and universities. (Pronounced pree-med.)

Definition
Very excited and ready to go; in high spirits.

Example
1)
The World Series starts tonight and the fans are psyched!

2)
I'm going on vacation to Italy for three weeks -- I am so psyched!
