    That has to be a costume that cigar guy is wearing, right?

    That mustache looks totally fake.

    Two phrases I'm not fond of:

    cringe-worthy
    funnily enough

    There's got to be a more elegant way to say what you need to say.

    Funnily enough, I find Spinal's last post in this thread cringe-worthy.

    After a casual remark by my roommate yesterday, I've started asking friends and coworkers what made-up or irregular words I use all the time. I either haven't noticed that I do this, or haven't thought about it.

    So far:

    crazycakes: used to describe someone who acts irrationally or aggressively, not necessarily the mentally ill. "Oh, I don't talk to her. She's totally crazycakes."

    craptastic: something of such low value that I don't understand how anyone enjoys it. "She was a great friend, but her cooking was just craptastic."

    trashtastic: related to the above. It's something made up of bad or low-quality elements that I enjoy anyway. "You can't rag on the original La Femme Nikita. That show was trashtastic."

    yummydelicious: always used right next to each other as an adjective, but only just before the noun, not ever. So I would never say, "That soup was yummydelcious." It's usually some sort of exclamation: "Yummydelicious soup!"

    ...hmm.
    ...and the milk's in me.

    I've been saying "bro" ironically a lot lately, and this morning I called this black gangster-dude "bro" without even thinking about it. He just said "Ayight dawg."

    I started calling girls "dame," "doll," and "toots" as a joke a while back. Now I can't stop.

    I call people endearments all the time: honey, sweetie, sweetness, honeybuns, sweetie-pie, muffin, pumpkin, kitten, babydoll, darling... all without irony.

    It's a bit of a problem.

    If a guy friend gets mortified enough, I will default to "buddy."

    Only girls from the south can get away with calling people "honey" "drling" etc. Only black women can add pie at the end.

    I'm so outmoded!

    By the way, I really enjoy middle-aged female waitresses who call me "hon." It's a thing.

    That's the kind of stuff that would lead you to restraining-order-city around here.

    You look at the wrong girl around here and she'll cry "stalker".

    Let's not.

    Also, can I just say that my office put a SNES and big TV in our break room? A local Goodwill is reputed to have a good collection of games.

    Nice. So many wonderful hours wasted playing NES games. I wonder why anyone would get rid of theirs, unless its broken.

    Man, why can't my neighbors decide it's time for a delightful banjo hoedown when I'm not about to go to bed?

    Aaaand fifteen minutes later everyone's drunk, belligerent, and screaming. That was a very small window of "delightful."

    SHUT UP.

    A friend of mine said something that was wrong (see: erroneous, not wrong as in offensive) and I corrected him.

    Even after I proved that I was right, he continued to argue, and out of left field just blew up with anger, telling me to "grow up and leave him alone"


    Does anyone else know someone like this? Someone who absolutely cannot, under any circumstance, accept that they are wrong?

    I really don't understand the shame in being wrong sometimes...
