adventures in amy-land

So this is more of an observation rather than a specific experience in Orange County.  Many of you might be familiar with Urbandictionary.com and it’s humorous slang related terms. Since moving to Orange County, California and working especially in the Newport Beach area, I have come up with one of my own:

Human Koi:

Pronunciation[hyoo-muhn or, often, yoo‑] kɔɪ Pronunciation Key [koi]  noun. Any of various races and/or nationalities of women, apparently residing in large groups in Southern California, although they have been seen all over the world.  Identifying characteristics often include (but are not limited to): fake suntans that often make them appear slightly orange in color, eyes that are located closer to the sides of their heads (due to copious amounts of facelifts) than on the average woman, grotesquely protruded lips resulting from too many lip injections and implants, and they often look surprised due to the injections of botulism (Botox).

Examples:

“Man! Did you see that human koi at Javier’s [a restaurant they can be found at in Orange County]?!! She must have had about half a million in plastic surgery!!”

Or

“Check out the rock on that koi!!! If she’s not careful she might sink!”

And my personal favorite:

“Who needs carnies when you have human koi?”

That’s all I’ve got time for right now, but I thought it was amusing and felt like it needed to be shared.
