The word "Flirt"

I still have to complete 2 more parts about 'My Voyage to Deutschland". But that takes some time cos its going to be a little lengthy.
However, I could not suppress my urge to write this small post on this word "FLIRT", how I got introduced to this word for the first time, what did I first understand etc..
Yea, I studied in English Medium(long back :P), but there was not one book in our syllabus which had this word(or was I not aware?). So in school, it was out of question to know about this word. And I lived in an environment which was like my own world..school,play,music classes,friends..that was all my world. Had never heard of this word till my 8th standard.

Now, I had to move to Mysore for my 9th Standard to study in a very prestigious School. This school was so disciplined that we had not spoken to any boy in our class all through our high school. All my one year of 9th went just in getting adjusted to stay away from home, competing with the so called brilliant students there..etc..
I had got some very good friends in Mysore who were very good looking also :P..They used to use this "Flirt" word like "look he is trying to Flirt with me"(Node avnu nan jothe flirt maadakke nodtha idane). Even then I had ignored that word thinking that Flirting means eveteasing which was very common :D.I didn't even try to know what atleast my friends meant when they were using that word :P.I did want to think much about it. That was the level of my innocence (or ignorance?) then.
After my Highschool I had to move to Tumkur for my Pre-University. In PU also, I dont remember having used this word anywhere. It was just too innocent even then :P.

And now for my Engineering, I again joined a prestigious college in Tumkur itself. I had this unknown fear(even my parents :P) about Engineering colleges cos I had read in news papers about ragging. So, I didnt join the college Hostel instead joined a private hostel which was a little far from the college(to Tumkur standards). Now our college had students from all over the country. Sometimes had to interact with some of them, I used to visit my friends in the college hostel too..got to know people from many other places.. Now again..these girls used this word a lotttt!!! By this time, I had become less innocent :D.. Now I wanted to know what exactly this word meant(I was in first sem). So went to my Hostel which had people like me :P..opened the dictionary and started to search for the meaning of the word "FLURT"(I thought this was the spelling for this word :P) along with my room mates. I did not find any word like this.. I thought it might be a slang which people use and gave up searching.
But one day, I gave a chance to myself to try permutation/combination of the possible letters in the word. Haaaaa..here I got it.."FLIRT".I showed it to my room mates as well :D. And now I have forgotten the exact meaning which I had got from the dictionary :P, but I know what exactly it means :D..
And I have been using that word too frequently ... Heeehehehe :D..So..I am no more innocent :D..
