It's 'juice' or 'e-juice' not Joose or Jooce, dang it.

personally, i'll call it whatever comes to mind first. be it juice or e-juice or liquid or e-liquid or liquid nicotine (I use this when talking to people who ask me about my e-cig cause they don't know what I'm doing). i don't have some horrible fear that the word police are going to arrest me for using the wrong phrasing. i grew up in the (if oklahoma counts) south, and we don't really care what other people think about how weird we talk.

On second thought, I do call it different things according to audience. Juice doesn't always go well with new/non vapers. Talking to gang here, I say juice. It's one syllable, easier than everything else. That's how lazy I am. :)

Edit: speaking of lazy, really nice avatar too, Keyzygirl. That looks very relaxing.:2cool:

Edit2: Uncle W, I have in my profile "call me what you want, but I'm just a guy."

I'll stick with Joyce. She ain't prego and she's definitely not man sauce.

By the way Keyzgirl would it be alright if I brought my hammock down for a visit with the two palm trees next to yours? The six toed cats could use a visit over at Hemmingway's too with a little Key West Free Range Chicken chasing to help pass some time.

American English is headed downhill anyway .. and has been for some time .. thank texting and what not for that .. example : Probably has somehow morphed into "prolly" .. and not just on line or texting .. people are actually using it in speech ..

So .. Juice / Joose / Jooce .. whatever .. how many different ways can you spell it ... ??

The art of language and proper usage seems to be becoming extinct anyway .. sad, really ..

I can't wait for the new Merriam-Webster to come out, it's gonna b a 2p pamphlet I hear.

Actually, I deal with the progression of the English language a lot in my line of historical work and what I've noticed is that we have regressed about 400 years back to the early colonial days where a single word could be spelled 20 different ways. I think it's funny that we're calling it the downfall of the English language when all it appears we're doing is regressing a few hundred years back to our natural state.

...I am guilty of using JOOSE , mainly because, JUICE is something VERY NASTY you spit into a cup when you are dipping snuf...it is the Deep South 'round here...doanchano...lately, I have been calling it "the liquid"...most folks understand that concept without the negative connotations of using just juice
