random
word of the day: OVERSHARE
to
share information that other people neither want nor need to hear, or the result
of doing so; can be done online or offline
(1) Don’t overshare. (…) No, I don’t care to
hear about your bodily functions or
sad breakup rant. Sorry. Some things
are meant to be personal.
bodily – fizjologiczne (relating
to the human body)
to be
meant to be personal
– should be personal
a
rant –
tyrada (a long, angry and confused speech)
(2)
Huh??? You mean you weren't wearing any underwear that whole weekend? Dude,
overshare!!!
(3)
There always seems to be one person who enjoys oversharing painfully personal
experiences in excruciating detail
while you are forced to listen.
in
excruciating detail

(4)
- Did I ever tell you about how you were conceived?
- Uh,
no, mom, that would be an overshare.
to
conceive –

(5)
She always overshares info about her bowels. We are dieticians, so poop talk is part of
the job, but still, I don't need to know every time she has "explosive diarrhea".
a bowel – jelito (the long
tube that carries solid waste from the stomach out of the body)
diarrhea
– biegunka (an illness in which the body's solid waste
is more liquid than usual and comes out of the body more often)
(6) Once upon a Halloween house party, I
came under an oversharing spell. As
I chatted to a guy dressed as Harry Potter, I found myself exposed – and not just because I was wearing the sexy witch costume
I’d picked up at a bargain shop. Thanks to the power of
black magic (or alcohol), my secrets vault
came unlocked – and I launched into
a monologue about the time my first boyfriend dumped me after two years… for a guy. The next day, flashbacks of my overshare haunted me.
