Alrighty then, have you ever been so irritated by the improper or overuse of a word that you just want to scream?

Two (2) words so grate on my nerves that they have left a scar on my soul.

Like: In a young girls voice ~ Like OMG, like she is like totally cray.

Anal: Well this one is just obnoxious for use in daily discourse in any form and should only be used in the presence of a doctor.

And lest I forget.

ƒ??Iƒ??m just sayingƒ?, More a phrase than a word but you understand.

?ÿIf I were King for a day I would by royal proclamation order everyone who overuses or misuses the above words and phrase to have their heads removed from their neck.

I'm apparently unaffected with a "like" or two....I do live in a college town; but when every "like" is followed by "uh" (and then a slight pause) it makes me want to hop the counter and choke the little?ÿidiots...?ÿ

I'm just posting to show my support to the CHIT CHAT forum. Since it has been delegated to the bottom of the main page, it has almost been forgotten. There was only one thread active all last week. Chit Chat has always been a large part of my life. You know what I mean?

Carry on.

Actually, a lot of people have tried to use it recently, but they post surveying-related stuff in here for some reason.

Like: In a young girls voice ~ Like OMG, like she is like totally cray.

Totally: In a young girls voice ~ Like OMG, like, she is like, totally cray.

Literally: In a young girls voice ~ Like OMG, like, she is like, literally cray.

An overused phrase in today's world starts with "the definition of insanity is...". If I hear it one more time I'm, like, going to literally?ÿgo totally insane.?ÿ I'm just sayin'.

That sign gives me an idea...

I'll start carrying a cane so I can thrash the pee-waddin out of the next youthful idiot I encounter...then when confronted by law enforcement I'll just act confused and feeble.?ÿ I might even just grab my chest and fake-faint to get out of an interrogation.

Old age has so many possibilities. ??ÿ

Add the use of "insane" to mean "amazingly good."

"No problem"; when preceded by a thank you. What happened to "you're welcome"?

I think I have ergophobia today. Sun is out.?ÿ

You're kind of anal about your categories...I'm just saying.?ÿ?ÿ

Yes. Yes I am. I liked your post.

And then there are the new definitions of words that are created by a function of a particular website. A post can now be liked. You become the liker and they become the likee. I like liked a post that was like already liked so like now I'm a liker of liked posts and you are like the likee.

Have I like, totally overused the LIKE button so much that I now have some sort of governor device causing these spinning working dots to appear on the upper right corner of my screen instead of being credited for actually "liking" a post?

I have to say that this thread is literally awesome.

Totes for reals though,?ÿYOLO.
