Was completely taken off guard when I heard that irregardless was determined a "word" within the past five years. For all Brainiac's who use this word..... It means the same damn thing as "Regardless" I'm assuming this is how "flammable" and "inflammable" became the same thing. To Stupid people: PLEASE SHUT UP!!!! I'm tired of seeing new "moron" words in the dictionary. I mean, for the love of God, "Duh" is in there. What's next: Wit. (As in, "who he wit now?") Skank (no reason needed) Trailer Trash (if I see this listed in Webster's ever, I'm headed to Austin with a shotgun) Po. (As in, "I's so Po!) etc, etc, PLEASE try and read proper english. I can't stand any more new words.
Didn't Mo Taylor try to make up the word 'conversating' earlier this year when he was talking about some player who didn't go to college?
Fatty says that as if there is something wrong with making up words...irregardless is a completely cromulent word... This thread is completely scrantaneous!
To copy a page out of Fred Durst's playbook... I think we're all in "agreeance" that irregardless should not be in the dictionary.
This one always makes me laugh. On a similar, but different note...does it bother you when you ask somebody how they are doing, and they answer you by asking you the same question. Person 1: What's up?! Person 2: How's it going?!
I always say fine. A few days ago, somebody said, "How come you are always doing 'fine'". I just said I have an even keel, but really, it is just a programmed response. Even if I feel live a steaming pile of dog vomit, I say "fine." Doesn't really answer your question, but you reminded me of this.
I think answering a question with a question is better than the alternative. When I was in college, some girls from France were doing a year abroad and DC and took a vacation in Chicago for Thanksgiving and I was showing them around (one was the daughter of my mother's childhood friend and the others were friends of hers) -- I suppose all this isn't really relevant though but what I'm trying to say is that I was talking with these girls I didn't know and who were completely unfamiliar with America before arriving 2 months before. They were pointing out American idiosyncracies, one of which was that when people asked them "What's up?" the person who asked them seemed completely uninterested in the response when they tried to oblige him. I had to explain that we don't actually care.
"Yo, I was wit this po' skank ho last night and she gave me what I desired. Irregardless, I'll never visit her again because all her friends are trailer trash."
