The term "window licker" came up a couple times in my last entry. I dont know if Ive ever used it in my diary before so I'll define it to you.

window licker- noun. One who licks windows. example: "Look at all those window lickers on the short bus."

How I first heard the term "window licker": While in rehab (every good story starts out with "one time, at rehab" hahaha) we were going out to a meeting. It was my first time out of the place so Id never seen the bus before. It was a transformed school bus, a SHORT school bus... but they had painted the name of wherever-it-was-rehab-that-I-was-tricked-into-going-to along the side in place of the school district name. I had made friends with this dude Mark the day before, even before I'd technically checked in the place. I walked into the front door of the center and was pushing the elevator button and Mark came out of the ping pong room and started talking to me. He was the only person my age, and the only person who was pretty fucked up (did lots of different drugs, had really hit rock bottom, like me, was also his first rehab attempt, same as me) so we clicked right away. (On a side note, you can tell that people have spent time in rehab by how well they play ping pong.) So anyway, he and I are getting onto the short bus, its embarassing enough to be on a short bus to begin with but it also had to let everyone know we were in rehab too... wtf? Everyone knows that place is a rehab, everyone has had either a family member go there or work there (or both... go there for treatment then end up working there later on). Oh another side note... also when I'm back in NY my accent comes back, like HEAVY... I say "cigarette" like "sag-rett" and "fucking" like "fack-en" etc, so as I'm getting on the bus I say to Mark, in this half-NY/half-retard accent "Where's my helmet??? Teacher, I need my helmet." Imagine chest-slapping motions. Then Mark says "Shut up, ya facken window licker." fucking hysterical. It was a running gag all through rehab, and has been a joke with me and my brother and friends ever since. so if you dont have a PC bug up your ass, and still take advantage of your first amendment rights, then feel free to use the term "window licker" in your every day vocabulary. I would like to coin this phrase, but it was really Mark's. Sad thing is that he's probably dead now, I should just credit it to myself.

Always remember to quit while you're ahead.
