Sure, but you better hurry up here, we're getting married in 4 days, if you want me to be yours forever. I've already gotten all the details taken care of, I just need you.

Also, when the more refined patrons of restaurant politely acknowedge the presence of -- then proceed to ignore -- the two classless buffoons in the corner of a restaurant, those two can "judge" all they want, but they have nothing to judge but that they are crass.

Is WhitMichelle reminding anyone else of the FRIENDS episode where Joey had to write a referral letter for Monica and Chandler's adoption agency? Anyone even know what I'm talking about?

J&K10910 · May 2011

Anna, none of those words are longer than 4 letters or one syllable.

I believe that means that it ranks too low on WhitMichelle's pretentious meter for her overly developed brain to comprehend.

sarah0725 · May 2011

I don't think there's anything wrong with using "big words" in conversation in general. Our language is full of wonderful and descriptive words, and it's fun to use them - I find I tend to pull out "big words" when I'm drunk because I can't remember normal words for stuff.

The problem is using words inelegantly and in improper context - and it seems like this Whit person is lacking in the quality that is her namesake.

Posted by beatlesgirl25[/QUOTE] Firstly, LOLOLOLOL isn’t colloquialism, sweetie (unless you actually say that, in which case, wow.) Secondly, I believe there is a different site devoted to married people: The Nest. I might suggest polluting their boards with false colloquialisms instead. A married person needing to re-visit a site for to-be-weds is kind of like a college grad trying to go to prom: regardless of the reasoning that person tries to give, it just kind of seems lame. Thirdly, if you actually had read the post I was replying to, the argument was that people use big words to “compensate” for other positive attributes, the irony there of course being that it was a horribly composed sentence rife with improper word usage. Finally, there is nothing wrong with taking yourself seriously. It’s called being mature. If you don’t take yourself seriously, you end up laughing when you can’t think of anything smart to say and acting like a petty high school kid when you are supposedly an adult.

Oh, that's what quotation marks are for? To allow people who are otherwise incapable of saying what they mean a chance to try to respond? Good to know. I don't know that wrist-slitting is necessary, just learn how to use your words.

See, you keep saying overly. The thing is, there is nothing excessive about my usage, and my word choice really is NOT that lofty. Perhaps, when compared to the rudimentary vernacular of this board, it may seem so.

Sorry, no tiff here. Initially, I was just pointing out a pretty valid point (since no one can seem to refute it).

To remedy that, I would recommend reading more books. Try once a week at first, and I'm sure your ocular stamina will improve. One side effect is learning though; watch out for that.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Why is everyone so mean? : Firstly, LOLOLOLOL isn’t colloquialism, sweetie (unless you actually say that, in which case, wow.) Secondly, I believe there is a different site devoted to married people: The Nest. I might suggest polluting their boards with false colloquialisms instead. A married person needing to re-visit a site for to-be-weds is kind of like a college grad trying to go to prom: regardless of the reasoning that person tries to give, it just kind of seems lame. Thirdly, if you actually had read the post I was replying to, the argument was that people use big words to “compensate” for other positive attributes, the irony there of course being that it was a horribly composed sentence rife with improper word usage. Finally, there is nothing wrong with taking yourself seriously. It’s called being mature. If you don’t take yourself seriously, you end up laughing when you can’t think of anything smart to say and acting like a petty high school kid when you are supposedly an adult. In Response to Re: Why is everyone so mean? : Oh, that's what quotation marks are for? To allow people who are otherwise incapable of saying what they mean a chance to try to respond? Good to know. I don't know that wrist-slitting is necessary, just learn how to use your words. See, you keep saying overly. The thing is, there is nothing excessive about my usage, and my word choice really is NOT that lofty. Perhaps, when compared to the rudimentary vernacular of this board, it may seem so. Sorry, no tiff here. Initially, I was just pointing out a pretty valid point (since no one can seem to refute it). But now, as stated, I've got the good ol' monocle on and am having a hoot-and-a-half! @cew515: Yes, I pride myself in proving that many of these people who dish it out can't take it.

Dude. You MADE UP a word. It's not as if you decided to replace a simple word with a more interesting one. You took a perfectly good word ("juvenile") and fancied it up by adding an unnecessary syllable. That HAD to have taken some effort. And if that doesn't smack of "excessive" then I don't know what does.

ETA: The alternative is that you're not too bright. I'll allow for that as well.

You speak the truth.

And as someone who makes up new words all the time, I didn't even like her new word.

And for the record: I'm mean because society made me this way.

Oh Cew, "douche" is so juvenilic. Try "highfalutin asshole" instead.

Why is everyone so mean?
