    ‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms. ‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms. But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

    The ‘im’ means “not” so ‘impossible’ means “not possible.” But we’ll let it slide because we know you took your life from negative to positive.

    The word ‘stan’ comes from the Eminem song "Stan" which is about one of his obsessed fans. What if Eminem named the fan ‘Dennis’?  We could be saying, “I dennis Beyonce.”
