[butters]

Does anybody actually say that?

a few. it's a little outdated now, though.


as a lover of language, it's more the misuse of certain words i despise - a word is a word is a word, and there are very few i'd find flat-out ugly if used in the right context.

Don't you hate when people say "literally" when they mean "figuratively"? Like when you hear some bimbo say "my jaw literally hit the floor" or some stupid thing like that.

Like kudzu.

I'm vegan, and though I don't wear panties, I don't have anything against them. I just hate the words used to describe them.
