Your daily dose of Edd, Part IV

"Man, I'm straight hungry. You want to roll dinner style?"

This is one of the most prevalent phrases in Edd's vocabulary. He says this at about 4:45pm each afternoon to one of his guitar buddies when he wants to go get some dinner in the cafeteria. There are only two kinds of occasions in which I won't hear this. The first is when Edd is at home. The second is when he goes out to eat dinner.

Now, what gets me the most about this phrase is the "dinner style" part of it. Edd makes it his mission to use the word "style" in conjunction with every other word known (or unknown) to the English language. As you saw two days ago, it works with the word "bell," and he has been heard to say such things as "homework style," "sparknotes style," and even "Swedish fish style." In fact, I think that Edd manages to work "style" (not in any good sense of the word) into his vocabulary even more than the word "straight." To give you a clear understanding of how often he really does use the word, allow me to present you with an analogy. "Style" is to Edd's vocabulary as "like" is to Valspeak. (Yes, "Valspeak" is really a word. I looked it up. You should too if you don't know what it means. You're welcome for enlightening you.)
