October 1, 2013 Urban Word of the Day: congressing
Wasting time and energy. Being generally unproductive even though you have a lot of very important stuff to do.
Say your light bill is due by 5:00 PM or they’re going to turn off your power. A friend comes by at 4:30 PM and sees you napping.. He’d say, “Dude, you better quit congressing and pay your power bill.”
Or… you’re just hanging out on Sunday morning and a friend calls and asks what you’re doing. You’d reply, “Nothing man, I’m just congressing.”

If that’s the definition of “congressing,” then I don’t think congress is “congressing.” I think if congress relates in any way to the above scenario, it’s more like this:
The dude and his friend are roomates. They’ve agreed to split the light bill and the rent. The one dude wakes up the other dude and says, “hey, screw you. I know we agreed to split the light bill, but I’ve decided I don’t want to abide by our agreement. Either you pay the light bill all by yourself, or I’m going to stop paying rent.”
Isn’t the affordable care act the law already? Do Republicans really think it’s ok to shut down the government in order to change a law that’s already in place?
I’m not a huge fan of the ACA myself. But shutting down the government because you don’t like a particular law is no way to run a country.
