The Evolution in Definitions of Maneurisms

Presumably you meant mannerisms.

I started high school in 2001, and over the last decade "hook up" has always meant a kiss or a date, the date definition sometimes carrying connotations of sex, but not usually.

I may be young, but I've never heard the term 'hook-up' refer to anything other than picking up some random girl at a bar for a romp in the hay, so to speak. Getting a kiss is just 'getting a kiss'.

I think he's talking about cardiovascular disease ... but only in men. Hence maneurism, as opposed to aneurysm. Scary stuff.

Perhaps he means "Manorism", which I suspect might have something to do with serfs and peasants of some sort.

Or maybe "Manureism", which also involves serfs and peasants, performing a more specific task.
