    is this one of those things that made more sense in someone's head?

    I resemble that remark! :laugh:

    I wish I could view the urban dictionary from work. I will have to wait. I am dying to know what catfish has to do with football. That makes no sense. But considering the definition is coming from urban dictionary, it doesn't have to make sense. Slang terms are often silly.

    I know what Catfish has to do with football... That football player was Catfished by someone on the internet. I just meant the post as a whole.

    Moist. It's simply not polite.

    I create feelings in others that they themselves don't understand.


    You create those feelings? Is it because you're moist? Because that just isn't polite. :happy:

    Ha! That worked. Thanks.

    OP, don't worry, slang as silly as the above will be gone soon enough. It doesn't have staying power, I assure you.

    Haters and 24/7 have already been around way too long. They aren't going anywhere. I do hope the Oakland Raiders diappear as a franchise. I've never heard the team used as slang though.

    i didn't single out slang. all words are on the table.

    Oakland + Raiders. bad enough by themselves. even worse together.

    Go Broncos! ;)

    say what?

    it's this new usage that is creeping into everyday speech which must be stopped.

    http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=catfish

    a line in the sand must be drawn. this far, no further!

    "It is what it is"

    Thanks for the insight. I was almost confused and thought that it is something that it's not, but now I get it.

    "Epic" is cornfield-worthy, too.
