    I don't like preggo or preggers. Ew. If I ever conceive, maybe I'll just refer to myself as "nant."


    Anyway... also not a fan of "classy," simply because most people who say it either have no class or are referring to something that really isnt classy at all. I disagree, however, on the sports question. You could say that someone with great professionalism and sportsmanship is a "class act" or a "has a lot of class."

    Fine. You can keep it, but you have to admit it's not a real word.

    Gigantic + Enormous = Ginormous

    8VwA6.png

    Come on. It was added to the dictionary in 2007 along with "crunk" and "smackdowns". Just because it's in the dictionary doesn't mean its stupid.

    Origin of GINORMOUS
    gigantic + enormous
    First Known Use: circa 1948. ~ See? First "known" use was in 1948.

    from:

    http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ginormous

    Just to let you know I am passionately commited to this word and will go to the ends of the earth and interwebs to defend its honor and usage. Especially as it pertains to men and all the things they have.

    Ginormous biceps.
    Ginormous Calves.
    Ginormous chest.
    etc.etc. and so on.

    Can I say "etc?", it's not too kitschy?

    Most of these words shouldn't be used by anyone. I can't even.

    Awesomesauce

    *cringes*

    But but I use this all the time on the forums :( I like my annoying individuality! Being prim and proper is boring. Grant it, I would not be caught in real life saying it.

    Vajnormous. You know who you are.:wink:

    I now propose that since the young ppl want to lay claim to a whole bunch of words for themselves that they think they made up (and granted some of them they did), that old ppl just make up their own words to mean things. AND NO YOUNG PEOPLE MAY USE THEM.

    You see it that way? I dont see it as young people hoarding words...I see it like adults are just telling other adults "you sound stupid"

    "cool beans"

    I LOATHE this one too!!

    While this is part of my daily vocabulary, my excuse is that for a long time, I used to roast coffee. It just kind of meshed with the job.
    YOLO. Grown *kitten* people should not say YOLO! EVER!
    I always though it to be a moron's way to say "Carpe diem."

    what about the mom who hands the car keys to her son while giving him the speech about being safe and mindful of other drivers. The boy has the windows down and is backing out of the driveway and the mom, watching from the porch, can no longer contain her parental worry and shouts out, "YOLO!" The boy smiles and calls back, "I know mom. I'll be careful." In that way, it kinda makes sense right?

    There are a ton of words/phrases that are funny in print/online but not so in person.

    "pr0n" - can't even really approximate that. But it makes me giggle.
    "I have no f***s left to give."
