Words that Should be Banned for 2012

Phenomenal (lmao) & Hubby Hubby Hubby (lmao)

Every time I hear "phenomenal" I keep thinking of that sketch from The Muppets...

Phenomenal...doo doooo doo-doo-doo....
Phenomenal...doo doo-doo doo...
Phenomenal...doo doooo doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo doodoodoodoodoo doo doo doo-doo doo

I always do that. Always. With phenomenon, too.


Now I shall have that wretched tune stuck in my brain, rattling around endlessly.

I am guilty of using the word "awesome" far too often.

TOM

Oh, yeah! This one, too! So many women act as if they don't realize it's going to happen EVERY MONTH!

EXACTLY!:bigsmile:

What's wrong with hubby?

Pam

HATE

Such a negative word - everytime someone starts a post with "I hate......" cardio, eggs, vegetables, exercise........ I just cringe

Time to start using positive affirmations rather than the H word - you might get much better results that way.....

Well we are 3 hours 15 minutes away from 2012 here in New Zealand - so here is to a fabulous 2012 for you all!

In my house I made the rule that you were not allowed to say Hate as it is a very harsh like there is no changing your mind but we can say dislike which to us means there is room for improvement.. I may dis like doing jumping jacks but i do them and they have grown on me.... If i hated them then that is it.. there is not going forward .... it also has the word like in it which helps my theory...:)

some of these i have never seen before and they did my head in on the first reading.. like preggo. what is up with that... .*sighs* wonders what happened to our language...

Freedom of speech homie/homegirl

I appreciate the support no matter the source or their means.

I understand not everyone has the gift of gab, no need to forsake the linguistically challenged.

I say not ban any words, and un ban prior words.

On the grounds that language is what seperates use from animals, this stuff is sacred.


Maybe im just a weirdo, i dunno.

Thank you!!! They are so irritating!

These type of logs should be banned: Burned 200 cals "doing hair":huh: Come on Fitness Pals

This probably depends on what your hair looked like before you started "doin" it. LOL

The word I really don't like to see is one which is rarely actually written but is often so much in evidence.....FASCISM!

Seriously, if something is irksome to read, don't read it! Who are we to dictate how people should spell, or what they should talk about?

Having been a teacher for almost 15 years, I know that some people genuinely cannot spell some words, no matter how hard they try. And funnily enough, this has never made them bad people. Nor stupid people. Ditto some folks' need to talk about certain topics. People need to talk - that's why internet fora work so well. For some, it's the only chance they get to discuss matters - not everyone is blessed with supportive friends and family.

Regarding profile comments, I really don't mind what people write on mine, as long as it's positive...and since they *are* my friends, they are always positive! Certainly there have been instances when I've felt that perhaps giving me a 'WTG' when (due to illness) I've only consumed 200 cals in a day was not the best comment, and maybe an indication that my food diary had not been looked at, but the fact remains that that person still cared enough to take the time to contribute *something*...and that means a lot to me. Most of us lead very busy lives, and IMO, giving one's time is a very precious gift indeed...one I am always incredibly happy to receive.

So, one word I would like to see more....TOLERANCE! :bigsmile:

4. light house cleaning burns :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

LMAO, people have light house cleaning everyday. I'm like, "How dirty is your house???"

Oh, I don't know - I suspect that cleaning a lighthouse every day has got to burn an awful lot, especially if done from top to bottom! Cleaning that light on the top is bound to be a great upper arm workout! :laugh:

On a more serious note - for some people, housework may be the only workout they are capable of. I don't see how burning 200 cals doing the cleaning every day is any different to burning the same amount running, walking, or doing any other form of 'legitimate' exercise every day! What is important is that people are moving, surely? Housework may not have the same benefits as running (for example) but for someone who has previously led a very sedentary life, it could make a huge difference, especially if they live in a large house.

I wish they would be shipped off to a deserted island with those idiots from Jersey Shore and Bad Girl's Club. Oh yeah, take Nickleback too.

Don"t forget Justin Beiber!

I am surprised at how many people use the word "loose" instead of "lose". My pet hate! :happy:
