i was upset this morning, but i made it out anyway

Him: I have been sick. It makes me cough and then *hands up from chest to mouth*
Me: you have to spit?
Him: I feel I have to spit. Yes.
Me: hock a loogey
Him: what? 
Me: hock a loogey. Hock, like *sounds of hocking* and the loogey is the phlem you spit.
Him: I like this!  Hockaloogey. Is it a verb? I hockaloogied?
Me: 'hock' is the verb, so-
Him: "hocked a loogey?"
Me: yes. Technically you could say "masticated".
Him: hocked a loogey is better. Is cooler.  Is like the difference between 'dick' and 'testicles', yes?

So the best thing I did today was teach a nice greek boy the phrase "hock a loogey".

and i'm not going to be travelling to romania this weekend because my flatmates are sick/travelling with erasmus, so instead i've asked my RD to recommend a couple of places in Poland where i might find a good hostel and some pretty architecture.
