Things That Rightfully or Not Bug Me Showing 451-500 of 1,934

[Janice]

Hi Cheri - welcome. I might be guilty of having a bit of a conversation with myself from time to time.

[Angela~twistedmind~]

I hate it when someone says, "I'm going to get me something to eat.". Why the "me"?
I think supposubly has already been extensively discussed.
My dear lovely husband is teased mercilessly by me for saying, "yest'dey" Really? That little 'er' just takes far too much effort to waste time on it?
He's got plenty of them. I'll add more occasionally as I think of them.

And Hi,Cheri!!

My husband makes up his own words by turning nouns into vowels. It drives me bonkers.

Nouns into vowels?

That is true talent!

[Cynthia]

Janice honey, did you mean nouns into VERBS?? That is enough to make a woman crazy.

[Scout]

I'm sure that's what you meant, Janice. One that bugs me is transition used as a verb, as in, "I'm transitioning into the role of motherhood."

[Félix]

Language. Evolves.

[Phil]

Yes, which is why I did not correct the person who recently wrote "alright" in a TC thread.

[Félix]

Flows like a river.

[Phil]

To the sea.

[Félix]

Of love.

[Janice]

Cynthia wrote: "Janice honey, did you mean nouns into VERBS?? That is enough to make a woman crazy."

I proved my point. Yes, I meant VERBS.

[Scout]

What the hell happened to this thread? All this talk of evolving and flowing and love really bugs me.

Yo Sally, the word "dude" blows chunks, especially when used in regards to a woman.

Unless a woman has a one-eyed trouser trout and a set of cajones, she is definitely not a "dude."

Live with it.

[Cynthia]

That's what we thought.

[Sally, la reina]

Yo, Clark. The use of the phrase "blows chunks" nullifies every other word you typed.

[~Geektastic~]

I don't refer to everyone as dude, but I constantly fall back on "guys" for both sexes. So I'm sure I bug someone, occasionally myself.

Yo Sally, how do you feel about "spews barnacles"?

[Cynthia]

I don't like "dude" for women.
I really don't like "Ladies" for women. I feel like I am not dressed properly when someone refers to me as a Lady. Darn it all to heck! Where did I put my white gloves and my rain bonnet?

She ain't no lady she's my wife....

[Phil]

Chicks.

[Sally, la reina]

Femmes.

[Sally, la reina]

Clark, I prefer "hurls." That is all.

[Cynthia]

party on, Garth.

[Sally, la reina]

party on, Wayne.

[Cynthia]

That's my girl.

[Jammies]

It should not bother me that a nail polish that cost $4/bottle is chipping after about 20 hours' worth of wear, but it does.

Oh, and I don't care how much language flows and evolves, anyone who says "disorientated" around me will have his or her mouth washed out with soap.

[Phil]

I hope they don't swallow any of it. That could leave them completely disorientated.

[Janice]

Oops, we're getting into that British/American language differences - like colour/color. Disorientated is British. Disoriented is American.

[Jim]

Disingenuoslyorientated.

[Jammies]

Janice, "disorientated" is NOT a word no matter what the Limeys say. Which do you like better, Ivory or Irish Spring?

[Janice]

But it is a word according to my dictionary. I worked in Home Care for 11 years, and not once did the nurses report that a person was disoriented. They reported them as disorientated.

Even my spell checker on Word allows it. So please don't wash my mouth out with soap. Waaah!

[Jonathan]

You're right about the UK/US difference, Janice. Occasionally, I write for British art magazines, and if I use the word "oriented" they always change it to "orientated," which sounds jarring to me for some reason, although I realize that it's just an arbitrary difference in usage. Anyway, I now try to find some alternative word to avoid the problem whenever possible.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Soapy smelling people. I passed about 5 people today who were so soapy smelling I could barely breathe.

[Lee]

Irish Spring or Dove, LG?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I couldn't tell, Lee. I'm not that discerning when it comes to soap scents. I can tell you what it wasn't: Ivory.

[Lori]

Irish Spring or Lever 2000

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Probably not Lever 2000.

Which - can we say it - is the most bizarre name ever for a soap.

[Lee]

We can.....lol

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I like it, though. The soap. It's a good soap.

[Lori]

Lever 2ooo. It does sound like something you'd find mining coal or hoisting the morbidly obese from their hospital beds to their port-o-potties.

A lot of mouths have been getting washed out.

Oh dear! Yes.

[Sally, la reina]

I loathe Irish Spring.

[Félix]

It stinks. If one ever gets to work in a grocery store warehouse, as I have, he or she will be sickened by all of the perfumes in soaps and detergents.

[Sally, la reina]

When I was pregnant I couldn't even go near that part of the store.

[Félix]

Same for me. I mean ....

[Sally, la reina]

Haven't we already discussed Larry bursting forth a million little Larrys?

[Félix]

I didn't wanna bring that up again.

[Félix]

But actually I think I was sliced up into small pieces.

[Sally, la reina]

**shhh, shhhh, shhh**
