I hear women particularly hate the words "moist" and "panties", which is a shame.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
{Verbiage. Va-jay-jay. Irregardless.}
Yes. Perfect. I hate those words. I don't have a problem with moist or panties. Don't know what's up with that.
See, the extreme informality of those words just makes me not care about them. Like, you can use them ironically and it could be funny.
But "prideful" is... different.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
It means full of pride..
Don't really see the problem here. It's like saying hopeful is a dumb word.
Punchful words.
I like the word panties.
What's wrong with panties?
I like picking on my boys by referring to their undies as their panties (as hey! You left your panties on the bathroom floor!)
They aren't fans of this.

When people use it, they usually mean "proud." They just had a brain fart. Its actual meaning is better expressed as "arrogant" anyway, and its actual meaning is stupid because logic indicates that it should be the same as "proud," but it's not, and even if it was, it sounds stupid compared to "proud."

That's... hilarious. Gonna do that to my kids, someday.

"Cats love it!"
Exactly!
I love that picture, Imke.
I used to hate "panties" but now it's whatever. It's way too common of a word so I just became acclimated to its weird frequency.
"Moist" is fine but only if we're talking about cake.
Not if we're talking about panties?
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Blargh.
"Hopeful" means "full of hope".
"Prideful" means "full of proudness" and is stupid.
This is why we can't have nice things.
I'm attempting to take a study break but I accidentally learned something.
"Prideful" means "full of proudness" and is stupid.
Wrong. It means full of pride. Pride is an emotion, a noun. Proud is an adjective. Same root but two different uses.

Guys, synonyms exist. It's nothing to get antsy over.
Does joyful tick you guys off too?
Prideful looks and sounds ugly. SUBJECTIVELY of course. But the kind of subjective that plenty of people apparently agree with.
I think after being used a lot, words just ooze their own definitions. Cool is wearing sunglasses. Grotesque is freaky. Nobody wants to hang out with awkward after school. Bed looks like a bed. Vague doesn't know what the fuck it's doing.
I've never read or heard prideful outside of this thread. It reminds me of nothing so much as painful.
If it were a commonly used word, I'm sure the reaction wouldn't be so strong. But it would have to stop being so damn ugly to be commonly used.
People who do that are stupidiots.
I say ginormous. And I'll keep on saying ginormous.
Does joyful tick you guys off too?
No, cuz it actually just means "full of joy". "Prideful" does not exactly mean "full of pride." It implies "full of too much pride; arrogant; disdainful." People misuse it, despite "proud" being the proper word for what they're trying to say.
Then when people use it correctly, it sounds stupid because it should mean the same as proud.
[insert jes's argument for the rest of the point]
Si vis pacem, para bellum
My coffee colded and is no longer drinkful. Damnedit.
Add ice and sugar!
You guys make me sadless.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Yeah. You guys make me unfrownishly disunhappy.
Hey Argument, ^5! You finally got inserted somewhere! I knew it would happen for you!
Haha unquoteful.
Full of unquotes?! Fuck you too then.
Internet, you are too much sometimes.
The bagel head trend. Wut.
The extraordinary look, which is created by injecting saline into the forehead, then pressing in the centre of the swollen area with a thumb, is a hit on the country's underground body modification scene.
The dramatic results of the two-hour treatment last just 16-24 hours, after which the saline is absorbed by the body and the forehead reduces back to its normal size.
What...the...hell?!!!! I wanna throw up, Imke!
Seriously obsessed with this news story at the moment, about a recently married 30 year old maths teacher that's run off with his 15 year old student. Last Thursday they took the ferry from Dover to Calais and no-one's seen them since. The guy is an amateur musician, amateur being the operative word here, and has lyrics online about his teen girlfriend. It's gross.
Here's an excerpt from his blog:
Posted on May 19, it says: "The last two weeks have been pretty intense, in both a good and a bad way!!!
"I'll touch on the bad, although it will have to be a bit vague to be public-ally digestible, but have lots of positive music related s*** to shoot...
"About a week ago I had a bit of a moral dilemma to deal with, both internally and externally. And the over-riding question it left me with was this: 'How do we, and how should we, define what is right or wrong, acceptable or unacceptable???'
"I came to a few different conclusions, mainly that actually we get a lot of things wrong, but at the end of the day I was satisfied that if you can look at yourself in the mirror and know that, under all the front, that you are a good person, that should have faith in your own judgment.
"That's some philosophical gold for you there!!!"
The affair had allegedly been going on for 7 months before they were declared missing (seemingly the pair were seen to be holding hands on the flight home from a school trip to LA). Weirdly, the school and police were actually notified by concerned friends of the girl, but the parents keep saying they didn't know anything about it?!
I feel really sorry for his wife.
Yeah, I'm reading everything about that news story as well! I feel so bad for the girl. She's so young, she probably has no clue what she has gotten herself into. The man, however, he knows what he's doing.
I agree. She'll get bored of him in a week, miss her schoolfriends and want to go home. He's screwed whatever the outcome. Goodbye teaching job, hello jail and Sex Offenders List.
Hattie, I was repulsed by the Bagel-Head thing. Then I read your post. And, you know, having the form of a bagel on your head (although I'm still wondering who-the-f came up with this) doesn't seem half bad.
I wonder what the long term affects will be concerning the bagel head thing. Seems you would have to be creating some sort of muscle/nerve damage injecting that much of anything into your head.
I'm guessing it will cause some Darwinian effect and am all for it!
These two things are gross.
What I saw on the street today, though, was an old lady walking her white fluffy CAT. On a leash.
^5
Me too.
(high five was meant for db. But you can have it too Irina.)
I havent had coffee yet. I am under the impression that a guy ran away with a bagel.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Would've been better.
Two kinds of people :
That's funny.
I don't particularly care for either The Beatles OR Elvis. So what does that make me other than universally hated?
I used to think The Beatles were boring and Elvis was overplayed. I still sorta do, but some of their songs are starting to sound amazing to me. I think I'm leaning towards Beatles, though.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
I'm only starting to exist, I mean.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
If I had to choose... I think I'd lean towards Elvis.
Whoa, that one girl has giant boobs.
