*When identifying "drops" performed by friends and family (or yourself), drop, although referring to an action, is employed as a noun
Example:
Person 1-So we were hanging out on the Champ-de-Mars the other day. You know, right next to La Tour Eiffel...
Person 2- (miming dropping something on the ground) DROP
so.
the reason for this entry is that my summer...for once...is going to be (is already?) ONE HUGE DROP. (eff yes.)
(if the bragging gets to be too much for you, now you know how best to call me out on it. you can thank me later.)
