'Tis such a tizzy about using the word 'tis.

[Sparky Kronkite]

And should it not be spelled Tiz?

And should not tizzy be spelled tissy?

Why oh why - must we all decry.....

[MinkSoul]

[unusuallyconfused]

tis the best thing they could bitch about?

I want to know if you all (and yes you all) started using YIKES before or after I got here, because I thought It was definately my word, reclaimed after a lenghty absence from the English language.

 

[Shylady]

What about drat? I have been told no one uses that word, but I use it all the time.

 

[MinkSoul]

I may be creamy and sweet in the center but I am NO twinkie dammit!

What about a Ding Dong? Or a Hoho? Maybe even a Yodel?

Isn't a Hoho a siamese hooker?

I'm sorry, but I've been using yikes since I was a little kid.

Now, I want to know, does anyone else besides me say, "huzzah!"

I use a lot of words not often heard. Probably from years of attending Ren Faires & hanging out with my SCA buddies. One of my doll friends uses Yikes all the time & I think I picked it up from her a few years ago. I use egad, huzzah, begone & words like that all the time. The people I work with are amazed at my vocabulary at times.
