Are "Buzzwords" universal or subjective? What are yours?
I am wondering if words which cause very strong emotional response in one person may not do so at all in somebody else. The car industry has, for decades, tried to find model names which sound right, so that buyers take a liking to the vehicle even from hearing the name. I'm not sure if this really works though. The following are my personal buzz words, they make me happy. How about yours? America Arizona Armagnac Bacon Bay Belize Bermuda Brazil Brittany Camaro Caprice Cognac Cohiba Concarneaux Cord Feline Firebird Lizard Melbourne Oregon Pacific Paraguay Paris Perth Phoenix Pontiac Queensland San Francisco South Stockholm Sweden Tacoma Tacuarembo Vancouver Volvo Wellington West Yaguaron

The only buzz "word" that I like is "You won". Oh yeah, another that works for me is "Dinner is ready".

Paid in full. Wine. Friends. Day off. Animals. Nature. Photography. Art. Books. Italian. The Blues. Pasta. Generous. Kindness. Peace.

As we can see, buzzwords are subjective. May I tell some in different languages? Herbstzeitlose Buschwindröschen Airone Mazurca Cáfé we shall overcome

A great question, Tahini :) Ferrari Schatz (German) cafe sex (s-e-x with a drawl) chocolat (Fr) зайка (Russian) Can my current BF's name be a buzzword, too? :))) The sound of all mentioned above 'cause a very strong emotional response ' in me ;)

Chances of ever getting into a good college
Chances of ever getting into a good college?
Okay, well first of all at the moment im finishing my freshman year online. Do online high school courses look bad on my resume? Secondly, im going to be spending three out of four of my high school years not in America. Does that lessen my chances? Im usually a straight A student easily but seem to be struggling with algebra I honors at the moment ): but I am getting tutoring and doing better. Lately, ive been completely amd utterly stressing out about college and i know its a bit early but everyone knows how competitive it is these days. The MAIN THING i have against me right now is so far i have NO EXTRA CIRRICULARS!!! which is freaking me out but im not in school, like I said im doing it online. Last year, i resided in wellington new zealand but entered half way through the school year and wasnt allowed to join anything annoyingly. Ontop of that their education was a year behind academically so i get no credits for the six months i spent in school there but luvkily i was doing it online at the same time for the american cirriculum. Im generally from america i was raised in los angeles so i have the dreamd of big nice colleges like everyone else. A year ago i stood out as a student. Captain of teams student council prez salutatorial alter serving community service, everything you could ever want in a well rounded student. Moving ruined everything for me or so it seems. Either way it makes everything another level of difficulty. The main things im looking for answers on is: 1: is being out of country for the majority of my highschool years going to greatly impact me?(will be in america for senior year) 2: how badly does my freshman year reflect on my resume?(no extra cirriculars) 3: can the fact of living in 3 different countries over they three years in any way look like a good thing??? 4: how much more effort do you think ill need to put in to syick put above the rest? 5: at the moment it looks like im going to Raffles Girls School - the top government school in singapore with a world wide aknowleged IB program. Is that jst at good or better than going to an international school? (hoping it may make them think of how ive experienced and done well in different cultures and still succeeded in such different environments) i cant help but think all this moving is going to ruin any chance i ever had of going to a school like UCLA or Duke. Ive worked so hard my whole short life for such things.(i had been accepted to some of the top private schools in california and scouted by them in basketball) amd my record was impecable i just fear that it was all for nothing. Please, id much appreciate your oppinion on all of this. Anything would be helpful - advice, ect. Thank you in advance an please excuae my spelling im fastly typing away on my iphone at 1:30am :)

School in New Zealand is actually very good, and there are some fine private schools. If you make sure you're in an IB program, your diploma will be recognized all over the world. Elite USA schools will be impressed. Consider also the New Zealand universities. Aukland is good overall. Canterbury, in Christchurch is good. Otago is good for Medical studies.

RORY LOPEZ - immigrated to Nelson New Zealand 1930s. Champion Boxer/ Wrestler CHEREKEE INDIAN did u no of him
RORY LOPEZ - immigrated to Nelson New Zealand 1930s. Champion Boxer/ Wrestler CHEREKEE INDIAN did u no of him?
RORY LOPEZ - AMERICAN CHEREKEE INDIAN . I would like to know if anyone may know of this man. It was between 1930 - late 1930s that he came to Nelson, New Zealand. He may have changed his surname to LOPER and was good friends with a man called Reg Fawcett in Nelson. They worked together in a roading gang building roads in Collingwood in the Golden Bay - Nelson. RORY was a champion boxer or wrestler and had many trophy belts he had won. He knew a woman called WINNIE FAWCETT in Nelson and they had 2 daughters. PEGGY and JACQUIE they where never married and were not allowed to be together. He would have been about 37 years old then. Rory may have had 2 sisters here in Nelson or other relatives we don't know of. He may have know a lady by the surname of Emmerson ???? RORY died alone at the age of about 72 years in a house fire in Wellington, New Zealand. In 1974 we think. He was my Grandfather I never knew and my mums Dad she never really knew. If anyone may know of him and can lead some light on his past we would love to have the opportunity to know a little more about him. With the kindest regards Janine

I never heard of him but would like to try and help you find something. A site like www.boxrec.com which lists boxers and all their opponents might help although I did not see his name on a search. If you could list any semi-popular fighter of that era that you are sure he fought I may be able to find his name at least as an opponent. Perhaps you can search different variations of his name and come up with a possible alias as well. I hope your search leads you to something if it was wrestling it wouldn't be on the site listed but there are plenty of wrestling sites that will do the same thing boxrec does for boxing.
