Need 20 words

hey can you guys help me out a little here

basically I just need 20 words that I would usually hear somewhere(not in the book) well I dont hear that much new words everday so I dont know what the heck to write down

by the way words need to be little complex and not just the easy ones that we hear in everyday life..

so anyways if some of you chip in a little it will be a great help to me cause I have way to much to study for today and this also needs to be done..

if you could write it something like this

ludicrous - and lets say in what situtation you heard it.. so "my friend was talking to my dad and he said bush was ludicrous"

thanks again.. every single word counts


P.S i feel like a bum
