sook
to sulk, crack a sad and act like a big fat baby when you odn't get your own way.
An Australian slang term used to indicate another person is soft, easily upset, or just a plain pussy.
also a Newfoundland term for "cry baby" or "whiner". One who sulks.

sooky lala
people who have a whinge or a sook over small things.

I'm quite disappointed it's not just an aussie thing

People who hate summer scare me. It seems depressing since summer allows you to do an entire host of things outdoors you'd never be able to do in winter. I've had friends who hate summer too, and I find they never went kayaking/boating, swimming (too self-conscious about body image), jogging, etc. etc. Perhaps it has something to do with how outdorsy a person is.



But the things I do dislike about summer in Tampa are:

1) mosquitoes at night

2) mold

3) mowing the lawn in the extreme heat

4) Having to choose the right hours to dine outdoors (during our winters, cause they're so mild, we can dine outdoors during daylight hours for lunch, etc.).

5) weeds

6) Alligators get a bit aggressive as late summer = mating season


Honestly, that's all I can think of. I love summer

it's not summer that's your problem, it's humidity, try moving to a more arid region, and you'll find a whole new set of problems! :thumsbsup:

Ah, ok



























































Hey...!!

Imago said:

depends on where you live, especially if you can do all those things pretty much all year around, summer practically is pointless.

Imago said:

Well we can't ALL be fit and gorgeous like you, can we? Some of us are fat, burn easily and suffer with allergies

Imago said:

Yeah, but some people prefer outdoor WINTER activities, such as skiing, ice skating, snowboarding, sledding...
Cold air is invigorating, and those activities are fun.

The only thing I've ever disliked about summer is the sun. I simply can't be out in it. Last year at Lollapalooza I got sunburned the very first day despite wearing 40+ spf sunblock applied well before going outside, reapplied twice during the day and trying to stick to the shade as much as I could. I probably had 3 hours tops of direct sunlight and I STILL got burned on every bit of exposed skin. I had to buy T shirts to wear for the rest of the festival to cover as much of me as possible as I'd only brought tank tops/spaghetti-strapped tops due to the expected heat.
I wasn't built for the sun.

I've never minded the heat all that much except now that I'm a runner I simply can't run in it. It's no good running in 90 degrees and 90% humidity. My body tells me to eff off. The funny thing is, I started running as I can do it for free outside and I wanted to start exercising but avoid paying a gym membership fee. Now I'm finally giving in and joining one next week as I want to KEEP running and this way I'll have somewhere to run (track or treadmill) when it's too hot out to run outside.

I much, much, MUCH preferred jogging around the frozen lake with snow flurries at about 45 degrees than trying to run in the heat we've had this summer.

I dislike, not hate summer comes to an end. It goes too fast.

humidity

mosquitoes

1. Mosquitos

2. Bees

That about covers it

That everybody else gets a tan but me

wasps and mosquitoes

Cleaning in this heat is not fun!!!

Humidity.

Non air conditioned stores/restaurants. Yesterday I went to two different restaurants and neither of them had the a.c. on so I left.

NYC subway platform and trains crowded with stinky, sweaty people.

The smell of baked garbage (hazard of living in NYC in the summer).

ME TOO!~

i always wished it was october all year round~~

i cant handle the heat anymore..i use to worship the sun but i guess things change the older we get.

i pretty much like every season of the year in some way or another, but summer has to be my least favorite because of the intense dry heat where i live. i get sunburned no matter what i do!

I love summer, heat and humidity and bugs show mercy for now!

Me too

nothing beats a fun day in the city... just chillin'

I enjoy summer..most of the time! I can't really think of anything I hate...except maybe it's going by to fast!

I am with Moni..
I can not think of one negative thing about summer!!!

Not being able to get any time off of work because everybody and their goddamn mother has hogged all the days off because they "might" pick that week to go on vacation. Meanwhile, I'm so stressed out and made to feel guilty when I finally do get time approved. Not to mention the worthless waste of space that called in sick for the whole week because she can't keep up with our new responsibilities. She knew on Monday that she was going to be sick for the whole week? I'm hoping she's recovering from plastic surgery because bitch looks like the fucking mother gorg from Fraggle Rock. She makes you gasp when you look at her.

Sorry, I needed to vent.
