as you get older, "jogging" ones memory doesn't do any good....you need a good hard smack to the back of the head to shove your memory back to the front of your head.
Smush Words
- Thread starter karrie
- Start date
It's not smush words, I hate as they are rather creative. Rather it's the decicreation of long words by using a much shorter form instead that annoys me!
Viz:
Ad instead of advertisement
Rad instead of radical
Cur instead of curmudgeon
This verbal lassitude has arisen because of texting and emails. Deplorable, simply deplorable!
Instead of telling a borrower, "If you don't pay back your loan, you will lose Mr. Pinky!", I would rather say, "If you don't pay back your loan, you will lose Mr. Pinkerton!!"

Having been through several lousy computer-dating things I came up with "spindictive".... It's self-explanatory
I'll ditto the roflmao
He's such a pathetic little putz.
Anyway, I have a couple additions to the Smuch dictionary:
I like the word "rehumanise". Not sure, but I think I may have invented it. In my book, it means to reacquire the characteristics of being human, particularly after being DEhumanised in cities. It includes such characteristics as appreciating the food one eats rather than simply scooping a plastic container off the shelf, buying it, going home, cooking it, and then eating it and carrying on with the next chore in life. It also includes the characteristic where you appreciate your neighbors' lives. It includes acting on the impulse to help a neighbor rather than ignoring the impulse.
Another one is "nipply". When it's nippy enough to cause a physical transformation to the raisins on the bullet bumpers of the females of our species.
"Slickery" is cool, too.

By the way, you forgot to use quote marks around 'Lord of the Rings,' as you did with 'The Hobbit.'

Quite right. For one that thinks he uses excellent English, he's not that good.
Wifey elbows me and tells me I should add " huggles" to the list. "Huggles" are a combination of hugs and cuddles, apparently.
Indeed, L Gilbert. For one so in the know, he refers to the television set a lot too....

OMG - this explains so MUCH!! I've been wondering why my memory loss seems to be accelerating at such a rapid pace...
but if your theory is also true in reverse, then I guess I better stop banging my head against the wall so often!!
*but how else does one survive their childrens' adolescence?*

Cookies, chloroform, rubber mallet = 3 effective ways of managing kids.*but how else does one survive their childrens' adolescence?*
You do not survive your childrens' adolescence. You continue to live with it no matter what. No matter how old they get, when they come home for a few hours they revert to the child again and they even get persnickity enough to treat "us" like we are the child! Smurfs!OMG - this explains so MUCH!! I've been wondering why my memory loss seems to be accelerating at such a rapid pace...
