Ameri-isms

Lately we've been making words up like mad around campus.  I like to call them Ameri-isms.  It's pretty simple to do.

Ameri-family - Refers to the teams of 10 we've been placed in.  These are the people we will eat with, sleep next to, and spend all of our time with for the next ten months.

Ameri-loving - Refers to the couples that have formed around campus.  My friend and I have quite a laugh at the amount of Ameri-couples that have formed between our corps members.  Paul and I have been mistaken as an Ameri-couple multiple times.  We're finding it quite comical as we feel more like Ameri-siblings.  Other words falling into this category are Ameri-marriage, Ameri-baby, and Ameri-skeeze.

Ameri-dog food - The not so wonderful food we eat in the cafeteria.

Ameri-bubble - The bubble we live in.  We've been eating, sleeping, and breathing AmeriCorps this last month in Corps Training and find ourselves constantly talking about AmeriCorps.

Ameri-(insert word here) - The possibilities are truly endless.
