    Not a word but a phrase...it's not "for all intensive purposes" the correct phrase is "for all intents and purposes"
    Heard someone Irish say that on the radio recently - sounded like "all in tents and porpoises" had a vision of dolphins camping! :bigsmile:

    Agreed. And use of the word "gay" as in "That is so gay"

    Another person here who doesn't like the word moist.

    To add to the list, flange and awesome (I work with a lot of Canadians who seem to love the word).

    Hahaha. I'm Canadian, and yes, we use that word a lot. Haha that's awesome ;)

    "mirin"- I keep seeing this slang term everywhere. It sounds so ignorant.
    menses
    labia
    When people say, "For all intensive purposes" instead of "For all intents and purposes."

    there, their, they`re out of context

    and

    Obviously..... nothing is ever obvious

    Some things are obvious. That makes no sense.

    6 pages and no one has mentioned "pacific" vs. "specific"....I am surprised. Watching Duck Dynasty last night reminded me of that one. Leave it to Si, haha.

    You could write a book with the things Si comes out with. I was watching one the other night and he came up with being available '7/24' he even confuses himself. He's hilarious!

    the "C" word

    And though I'm ok with the word "subtle", why's it got to have a "b" in it?

    It's a subtle 'b'
