Are there certain words you just cant stand?

Cacophony!

Whatever really annoys me when teenagers use it.

I hate misuse of the word ax. When people say, "Can I AXE you a question?," instead of, "Can I ASK you a question?"

"I axed you to speak correctly!"

Yeah I hate that too. Some of my uncles use it. In related terms, I hate when my brother uses across with a past tense.

Acrossed? GRRRR. Say it right!

He'll never learn.

People saying, "I seen," instead of, "I saw," really gets to me as well. It is like the world is full of uneducated chimps that runaround flinging poo at people and sniffing their fingers all day. What ever happened to using proper grammar (or at least as close to proper grammar as possible)?

I hate the way teenagers use the word "like", it makes me want to strangle them for mutilating the English language.

Oh and the way people from Queensland place the word "aye" at the end of every sentence. Arrgh!! ! Why!? Can't they just leave our language alone!?

Try taking your own advice on the grammar, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

I cant't stand the phrase "believe you me!'

what the H does that mean?

Believe- you---me! Huh?

I hate the word

"Honey" as used in every damn commercial to stand as a gentler way to get a spouses attention.

I @#$%^&*() had it with TV comercial couples calling eachother !@#$%^&*() "Honey"

I hope Commercials don't wear out their !@#$%^&*()"Honey" and use my 'sweet heart' cause If they do change to sweet heart, I will have to switch to sugar which currently I use to call a dude named sagar at work: sagar /sugar same thing so uh uh. Ill be stuck calling my wife "My little dumpling" or some other Bogus cute nickname.


!@#$%^&*() HONEY is ruined lets stop with that.

Oh and I DRINK PEPSI
its SAINT NICHOLAS not SANTA CLAUSE. for crying out loud, enough with XMAS

CHRIST is what CHRISTMAS is about not jolly red COKE

I agree with you on the nicknames thing, but I think all those names are stupid (whether it's honey, darling or whatever), I don't see what's wrong with people's actual names.

The first paragraph here explains about the origins of "Xmas".

Etymology fail...

I thought Christmas was about Christianity mocking, masking and stealing pagan holidays?

Anyway. My bus driver in grade 3 came unhinged on some kid for giving her a card labelled with xmas. That old Christian hick had no idea that there might be a reason for the abbreviation.

She wasnt a very nice Christian to that poor little kid, but oddly, she could have passed physically for a Greek. She should have known better.. at least to the point of accepting it with some grace.

This is fun!! !

I'm almost catching an inkling of accusation here, that I might be some christian Hick..

No matter

I grew up in Calgary, In a non church going family. Moved To Ontario in 99. I am CHRISTENED not X-ENED Protestant. My GREEK wife is Christian Orthodox. I have met many Christians in my life. They can be, but usually are the opposite of hicks (Have you ever covered to cover the bible, Not really geared for hicks there cowboy.
On the other hand Albertan's... (I still have a wicked aversion to country music.)

Kick it with the sun, to a pagan drum till the clock strikes 2012. Hell Old symbolism pagan style worked in the 1940's for a particular country...why not sing its praises.

Alls this ex-hick is yee-hawing is CHRISTMAS broke down = Christ + Mass so the whole "lets go buy plastic stuff and pass it around" mass seems silly and misplaced to me.

I like the idea of Christ. He's got a pretty clean record. Pretty cool guy. Would have loved to have had a chance to meet him. Ill celebrate his ideas this CHRISTMAS...

Fuzzy, I apologize for being so slap happy... Hit me back

All in good fun.

Certainly [i[not[/i].

I am sorry it came out that way.

But my bus driver was a small minded country woman, without a doubt.



Yuck. Me too.



Or not. I think it should all vanish. Religion is a blemish upon humanity.



Yeah I wouldnt care if that vanished too.



Seems to me that he would have been a pretty awesome human being. It is probably unresolvable how much was myth making though.

My problem is with religion(s) and with the end result of Christian doctrine.

For example, is Judas Iscariot burning in hell? Most Christians including their clergy would say "yes without a doubt". Yet his sacrifice was greater than that of Christ. And his actions were a vital step in gods plans. Apparently hes still paying, but Jesus gets to go fishing with his dad for eternity.


Lets say my great great grandpa owes your dad four hundred bucks. You want me to pay it back for him. Instead your dad "volunteers" you to work cleaning his sewers for 3 days. Then, smugly, it is proclaimed that my debt(mine?) to your dad is paid off.

Doesnt make a hell of a lot of sense, does it? But this is like Jesus paying for our sins.



All in good fun. I am not that delicate.

If we continue, however, lets move this elsewhere? We are a little off topic.

Cool, Fuzzy.

I feel your points. I have some outstanding issues with Christianity as well.

Catch you later somewhere around WP.
