Words you hate and why

Re: Words you hate and why

There are predefined definitions and pronunciations for words. If you say it a different way or with a different meaning implied then it is wrong.

Not trying to argue against anything anyone said. Just pointing that out.

Re: Words you hate and why

Those words were predefined by people, and can be subsequently redefined and reused in artful ways. Misuse is different from adding more levels to a word, or using a word differently for effect. It really isn't that black and white, language never has been, seeing as it's all about trying to explain something from x level on another level entirely. (its multifaceted)

lol its like some sort of idea of we got it down now guys!!, better not change the status quo cuz CLARITY but then things like memes happen and before you know it we're all talking like robots and the counterculture fought a war with the Days of Olde and won rather than language growing naturally so we can say what we're thinking better and articulate instead of arguing over definitions and how xxx people sound like retards

deduction bros *taps head* lol p.s. sorry for interrupting the flow of this typical ffr thread of sharing OMG quirks!!! with unabided thoughts

Re: lol

I knew this guy that would say "HUH???" in a startled way every time he didn't immediately understand what you said, which was 80% of the time..., but huh can be a cool and nonchalant response, depending on how you carry yourself.

Language is beautiful! I don't care if you speak without proper grammar, it's a good way to connect with people and see how relaxed they are. We use speech for relations, to experiment with expressing ourselves and what is around us. Language and communication is a playground!! It can vary from rigid and confusing, flowing and lovely, and everythin in-between

also I think it's p annoying for someone to correct me when I'm just acting a fool to myself, fully aware of what I'm saying. like correcting "anyways" to "anyway"...

ANYWAYS.....
context matters a lot, therefore i dont hate words


oh and just throwing this out there, I don't think any of you could have survived living with my mother, as terrible as she was at remembering the names of places and spelling, and phrases, idioms, etc. she would get tongue tied saying the simplest thing, but it was impossible to correct her. I guess after awhile, being annoyed by those sorts of things just sort of melts off of you. you start to see it in a more light hearted way, and crack jokes. (just not at their expense) sure tho, get your kicks. I don't really think it matters, as long as what you're trying to say ultimately comes out of your mouth. it's a learning process, so why be nitpicky

I'd like to argue with this. First of all, words aren't just "predefined", it's not like the words we have now already had their definitions set from before the existence of mankind. We as a society shape our own language, including the definitions of the words included in that language, thereby allowing definitions, as well as the connotations and associations of many words to change over time. Even having correct pronunciation is has it's own subjectivity considering we try to pretend that there are only 5 vowels, while in actuality, the pronunciation from one vowel to a another is continuous and not discrete. I could argue some more, but I think I'm done here.

Re: Words you hate and why

Think

The dumbest use of this word is when someone asks a question only to be slapped in the face with this word.

i agree with this. people tell you you should "think" but really what they mean is "think like I do"

other words i hate hearing/reading:
random
******
bitch
***got
gay
sand******
conservative
faith
holy
sacred
"politically correct" because it provides and excuse to be polite, rather than the practice of being polite by default.

* Not entirely hate, just annoyed

Re: Words you hate and why

I hate the word chill. It's fine as an adjective like, "that's pretty chill" but when someone is getting heated and you're totally calm and they tell you to chill it's the most annoying thing in the world...

Chunky...it just sounds so gross.

"Hanging Out"

I don't know why that term sounds so stupid. No, I don't want to "hang out" with you. Can't we just do something normal?

Society really needs a new term for this already.

[icontrolyourworld]

Re: Words you hate and why

haha this is the only reason i keep coming back to this thread, someone do it xD
