 Smirting 以借火和某人搭讪


 
Diarmuid: Hello I’m Diarmuid. 
Feifei: Why are you looking so happy Diarmuid? 
Diarmuid: Well, earlier today, I was outside on my telephone, when a lady asked me for a lighter 1. I think she might have been trying to smirt with me. 
Feifei:Smirt? 
Diarmuid: Yes, smirt. Now smirt is a slang 2 word to describe flirting 3 with another person when you are smoking 4
Feifei: It sounds like smoking and flirting have been joined together to make the word smirting. 
Diarmuid: Exactly, that is how the word smirting is created. But I didn’t have a lighter, because I don’t smoke, so that was the end of the conversation. 
Feifei: Was she pretty? 
Diarmuid: She was very pretty. 
Feifei: Oh well. She’ll probably be there tomorrow if you want to talk to her again. What do people usually say when they are smirting? 
Diarmuid: It depends. Here is an example of some people smirting: 
 
A: Hi, could I borrow your lighter? 
B: Sure. 
A: Thanks. Are you new here? 
B: Yeah, I just started in the IT department 5
A: Oh great, I work in the office right next to you. 
B: I guess we’ll be seeing a lot of each other. 
 
Feifei: All this talk of smirting is making me feel a little lonely. 
Diarmuid: You do know that smoking is bad for you and that there are healthier ways to meet a nice guy than to smirt. 
Feifei: I know. 
Diarmuid: Ok, well that’s all for today. 
Feifei: See you soon. 
Diarmuid: Bye.
