Mission Impossible: Changing the term "steeping" to "aging."

[Butters78]

OMG... Boaz....... the first of the huge outlets.......and not too far from Mountain Top and Collinsville Trade day.....

The outlets were dead when I left. I actually worked in an office that was originally a store next to the west point Pepperell I think it was called.

You left out "Telescopic".....
and "Mechanical"......

How could I forget mechanical?!?

 

[cmdebrecht]

Golly gee! - I am just learning the English vaping terms. Steeping / aging ... hm... In German we say "reifen" which means "to mature" and also what wines and cheeses do, to get their flavor. So, it is more like "aging".

By the way, I just love this:

Guten Tag, Frau/Frauline! We get es Ihnen?

8 years of German and that's about all I can show for it

lol most excellent idea!! first time i mentioned to a friend ( who is a non smoker, non vaper ) they were instantly confused, i explained the definition behind and then i thought about it and i became a little confused myself lol, i do believe that what we do IS age our vapes, like cheese, wine, whiskey etc...steeping is what you do with tea bags like my bud said lol

 

[Katdarling]

Ahhh... my vliquid is maturing. I am steeping.


IBCR, I can't wait for the episode on "juice".

Oh jeez - just shake your bottles when you are in the bathroom - doing certain bathroomy things - call it "stooping" and leave it at that.

Ummm... Rickajho? I believe that one's already been taken. (with a slight alteration to the spelling)

Nauseous vs. Nauseating vs. Nauseated | Infoplease.com

But seriously, thanks for enlightening me, for I truly did not know and had to look it up.

It does drive me nuts when people spell words incorrectly, or turn a phrase incorrectly.
It's like, hey, if you don't know the word or the phrase why are you using it?

But in the end, I don't let it ruin my day.

Yeah, *sigh*, I know. It has been so abused that the dictionary has just given up...much like the pronunciation of the word "often". But no, it isn't the end of the world and not nearly as bad as the grocers' apostrophe. Actually, when people say they're "nauseous", I snicker a little on the inside and that's it.

I'm not perfect either. I just felt like complaining today.

I prefer "aerate"

Language always evolves. If it didn't we would be talking like we were in a Shakespearian play.

 

[Fergie]

I'm for aging, tea steeps

"Speaking" as though.

I know I don't speak properly but being raised in South Central Los Angeles (Watts) I think I've come a long way..

 

[Whosback]

+1 for "Aging"... ....

while were at it, the word analogs should not be allowed.. I just think its stupid.

Also is what I have in my hand vaping on an "E-Cig" ? Isnt it just a vaporizer?

+ on aging, but I like the term analogs for the old cancer sticks. ....-log is quite an accurate description of the flavor.

Oh don't get me started on the whole apostrophe epidemic.

"How are you?"


"I'm good."


(and in my head, I hear "are ya now..." )

BWA HA HA HA HA! I have never thought of it quite this way, and I will not be able to keep a straight face the next time someone says that to me.
Now I am so happy that my response to the how are you question has always been, "I'm well, and you?"

 

[Katdarling]

cmdebrecht, believe it or not, I reply in the same way... and have people laugh and make fun of me for .... I dunno, being so formal?

While we're on pet peeves (are we?)... how about "real quick"...or "drive safe".

Why all the hate for the "ly"?? Why?
