^ -Yes!... And, thanks for having a great sense of humor here...

But
, pretend it's Christmas Eve, and you are leaving work early, walking by scores of co-workers... Now, try to say "Happy Festihannukwanzmas" twenty times in a row, fast!

;)

Mah tung iz upthet at u. It iz pithed.
(Translation: My oral linguistic muscle is greatly fatigued do to the vigorous exercise it received while attempting to articulate, accentuate and properly dictate the assigned verbal gymnastics in the prescribed quantity. You may have to apologize now to the lady whom I shall be fucking all day for overloading me with homework)

Convo, conversate, irregardless, and most texting abbreviations. They gave us a damn' qwerty keyboard. Abbreviation is only appropriate for dumb phones.

You assumed too much, dear. Saying "Happy Holidays" to people you don't know what religion they follow, if any, is not going to hurt you.

A/B

Actually, the problem is you are forgetting the original topic we were discussing. I never said anything regarding "Happy Holidays". This started because you were arguing that a general usage of "Merry Christmas" is impolite.

^ - It's more ignorant, than "impolite"... Most people who don't celebrate the religious holiday of Christmas will generously forgive you for that generalized December greeting.

I was thinking that mad was similar to crazy...
it's not the case, is it?...
thank you halcyondays...

Mad as in "he has mad oral skills" or "he plays mad guitar" or "it's mad hot outside" or "she's got mad tits."

It means extreme, a lot of, really good.

Good ones, A.E. My pet peeves (and like "conversate" that drive me up the wall) include:

"At the end of the day... "

"... bring to the table."

My "brand." (Brand??? What are you, a friggin' soft drink??)


"Amazing." (long since played out, imo)

hashtag (this or that),,, really??? How 'bout #GETaLIFE ?
