I thought 'Netflix and chill' was just watching a film and relaxing.

Doggo is just a naff, twee version of Dog. See also Pupper. I have a friend who posts Doggo/Pupper memes on facebook, I have had to hide them from my feed.

Heels - meaning shoes
Relax - when used as a noun - no, you cannot have a relax...

Yes to holibobs! I was just about to join the October pregnancy thread, realised a poster was off on holibobs and closed the thread immediately. See also preggers, totes amazeballs and hubby. Also 'cheeky' in relation to wine/chocolate/cake.
