Okay, I am freakin' out.Ignignoct said:7 days.Evil Jak said:For some reason I think there is a hidden motive behind this post, its insane but hear me out... Okay, you quoted my first post so you must have wanted me to see it and all you said was "Leadership."... thats the part that has me stumped, but of course there is no merit to my paranoia for I am a mixture of tired and filled with energy drinks.Ignignoct said:Leadership.Evil Jak said:I can't think of anyway to pad this first post out, so are there any words that mean nothing to you anymore?
If it has an interesting story then throw that in too, my word is "hint"... I just used it and I found myself staring at it for 5 minutes wondering if that is even real.
I cant handle leadership and if I have any chance of leadership skills it will take longer than 7 days to develop. :O
Most of the english language. Its been prety thoroughly butchered and nothing has its origional meaning anymore
"Fact" - every terrible e-debater, journalist, blogger and Wendy commercial is talking about these like saying 'fact' three times in a row makes whatever nonsense they're blurting out come true. Facts are great, because they're facts, please don't spoil them by rubbing your Sarah Palin propaganda on them.
lol - no, you're not laughing out loud, especially not to that youtube video. This is the internet so I can't expect too much, but a well thought out and well executed joke does not fall in the same category as a Katt Williams clip, no matter how terrible your taste is.
Epic (Whatever) - if you overhear somebody in your vicinity saying this probably nothing noteworthy is happening and said somebody needs to be punted in the head. Special mention: Epic fail - I overheard a girl saying this on the beach when he friend dropped her keys in the sand. It's just keys in the sand, calm down! Let's all agree to this: unless there is, at the very least, a dinosaur involved, something does not qualify as "epic".

Look outside your window in ~3 minutes.
Look for the smiles.
How can an old word with a number after it be counted as the Millionth Word in the English Language?rasmusernst said:
Is it possible for a word to lose a meaning which it never had?
They sort of are the general "evil thing" out there that people can blame anything on. They are an unequivocal invented evil which can be used to explain any acyt of violence or torture. Of course on the one hand I believe what I just said completely. On the other hand I think the general media are so disorganized that this kind of Chompskyan theory is bunk and they just slap the buzzwords on there because they're too frantic to get the news out there to actually do some fucking research.SODAssault said:
Racist has primarily lost meaning because many people interpret it as white supremecy rather than any prejiduce related to race in any way. I know its lost a lot of meaning to me as well.Disaster Button said:
On a lighter note I like the phrase "no way" because if replaced with something synonymous it becomes much less friendly. Let me demonstrate with this small bite of conversation.
Person 1: "You'll never guess who I saw at the grocery store today... James Butterfield"
Person 2: "I think you aren't telling me the truth."
James Butterfield is a made up person. I apologize if you are actually named James Butterfield.
Righto, thats creepy. Although, not quite believable. Although, if I was worried about having a stalker and I hadnt seen you around the forums before then I would be worried.Ignignoct said:I can't wait.Evil Jak said:Okay, I am freakin' out.Ignignoct said:7 days.Evil Jak said:For some reason I think there is a hidden motive behind this post, its insane but hear me out...

I'll come back when you're asleep.
Mobile phones can do amazing things these days.

Oh, I also need to know if you are male or female... that is basically how I am going to decide if I am cool with the "stalking" or not. XD
I've got another candidate. The word 'real' when used in completely the wrong context.
TV seems to use it a lot, like in these examples:
1) A TV show called 'Colleen's Real Women'. So there's such thing as a fake woman, is there?
2) Tesco adverts make an example of showing how so many 'real baskets' were bought by Tesco customers according to an independant price checker. What's the definiteion of a real basket?
3) A new ITV show started called 'Real Crime'. Like with the 'Real Women', are there crimes that are fake as well?
