Location: Books & Books, Coral Gables
Beloved as much for its witty, edgy writing as it is for its far-reaching information, DailyCandy.com has also grown into the go-to site for how to talk about it all, every day offering up a round-up of the latest in hip expressions. Always the trendsetter, DailyCandy has defined and invented words and terms that are becoming popular. Smart, funny, and sassy, The DailyCandy Lexicon: Words That Don’t Exist But Should (Virgin, $15.95) is a compilation of these definitions, invaluable whether you’re a “girleen” (a young sassy woman) or a SoDeeWah (socialite/designer/whatever). Tonight, Brooke Siegel, editor of DailyCandy Miami, gives us a dose of the DailyCandy lexicon that she, and a crack team of editors who work out of 13 cities have compiled. Maybe you’re tired of talking the way you’ve talked for years (please stop calling things “dope”), or maybe you’re embarrassed that you didn’t know what your cubicle-mate meant by “desk burn” (it’s an injury sustained during in-office sex). Either way, you won’t want to miss tonight’s book launch event. We’ll be serving tart fuel in the courtyard, but no drimming allowed. There’ll be sweet treats and sweeter giveaways, so dress up in your fancy duds for a delicious evening. 8pm
