1. “Tween” – this is a bullshit word
2. “Podcasting” – These used to be called “long mp3s”
3. “Differently Abled” – Well yeah, I guess less is different
4. “Internet” used as a verb. Lookin’ at you, PeoplePC.
5. “Friendly Fire” – Yeah, that bullet just dropped by to borrow some fucking sugar
6. “Collateral Damage” – Whoops. Killed some people. Our bad. Shit. Sorry, other country
7. “Libary” – It’s got an r in the middle, too. Li-ber-ary A lie-berry would be a fruit that makes you lie.
8. “Bullying” – as an adult, if you were walking through the office and a co-worker reached out, knocked the monday morning meeting notes out of your hands, shoved you hard enough to knock you on your ass, and called you a fag, would it be “bullying” or fucking assault?
9. “Trips” Vs “a Set” – a SET is two in the pocket. TRIPS is two on the board. There’s a hell of a difference in hand strength. So write it down or something if you’re going to announce tv poker
10. A “hoard” is a big pile, ie hoard of treasure. “Horde” with an ‘e’ is a different word, meaning group, “Horde of assholes hoarding their hoard”
my least-favorite words are brokeback, oprah, and that weird noise my son makes with his throat that usually means he’s going to try to blow his nose on something that’s not a tissue soon.
oh, and ryc: why do you think i don’t already have really vulgar real tattoos? baha.
hahahahahaha!
“would it be “bullying” or fucking assault?” that’d be rape, wouldn’t it? And “Differently Abled”? I’m going to use that in golf. My differently abled rating is 5. Oh fuck that, my cripple rating is 5.
I see second hand smoke is now called passive smoking. What the fuck is passive about something that can give you cancer?
rache has a tattoo of a vagina on her ass. Explain that one.
it is to fool predators.
Good word choices. I wonder… would several prostitutes be a “whorde?”
I think I will post on some of the military’s creative lingo. Good idea, Chuck.

Haha Funny shit!
mp3 is the format of a podcast, but say we’re talking about mp3s of a Lou Reed album, a recording of Orson Welles reading the bible, and a…a…uh…radio show formatted recording of one or more hosts talking at length about a single topic, maybe with guests, available for download on the internet
It needs it’s own word. Stairway to Heaven is not a ‘long .mp3’. It’s a song. The Weekly Geek is also not a long mp3. It’s a podcast. long mp3 is just a format. More and more of them are delivered via streaming audio, and alternative formats such as ogg, so…Podcast stays. Fuck those other words.
Hey man, brand name product synonomy is a serious problem in the world of modern english. If it makes you cry, why don’t you go wipe your nose on a paper tissue, then perhaps bandage your hand with an adhesive strip.
