I'm extremely .... retentive about anything to do with language... the one that drives me up a WALL is "I'm just sayin..." YOU'RE JUST SAYIN' WHAT EXACTLY??? Is what I always want to reply that little ear-barb... ARGHHHHHHHH!

And of course, ALWAYS, using "impact" as a verb. AAAARGHHHHHHH! It's a NOUN!!!

Ha Ha! Andria, are you old enough to remember the Benson and Hedges commercials? They said, "B & H "travels" the smoke farther. I hated that!:)

everybody knows to make a word plural you add an "S".

ya'll is incorrect. the correct plural for you is yous.

not to mention literally actually is synonymous to figuratively by definition these days. check out #2 on this websters page for reference... Literally - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

and "just sayin'" is incorrect aswell.

jus' sayin'

:p poke, poke, poke (jus' funnin' yas)

I can see why, what an awful usage of a perfectly good word! In any case, I think cigarette smoke travels quite well without any help!!!

But, the only thing I remember about the B&H commercials was the bent cigarette running into a car window... never in 39 years of smoking did I see a cigarette bend that way... if you run a lit cigarette into anything, it's just sparks flying everywhere! Instead of that wry look on the smoker's face in the ads, you'd see what appears to be a certifiable connimption fit as the poor smoker tries to keep from burning holes in his clothes! :facepalm: I did that dance quite often, in fact. :D

You're right, "ya'll" IS incorrect... it's "y'all" -- the apostrophe takes the place of the missing letters, remember that from grade school?

IT'S A CONTRACTION!!!!

how advanced in age are y'all?? lol
Not as far as I would have been, because when I turned 29 I decided to halt my advance and begin a retreat, which I've continued ever since.

My current age is 12 years old. It didn't bother me when I retreated below the legal drinking age 8 years back, because I hardly ever drank alcohol anyway even in my early-to-late 20s or in my late-to-early 20s. It'd be nice to not need a fake ID like I did the first time I was aged 20, though. I'll bet the grey hair peppering my sideburns now would really fool any bartender. Ha! They'd never guess that I'm actually at age 12 again.

6 years ago, when I was at age 18, I celebrated my last legal vote and the last year I could legally buy or have STINKIES. What was really inconvenient was when I could no longer legally drive a car starting 3 years ago. People who asked me why I began walking everywhere just didn't seem to understand when I told them my age was 15, and I therefore couldn't drive a car. Most people to whom I had ever given a ride in my late-to-early 20s, though, would have told you that I couldn't drive a car then either, so maybe that one shouldn't bother me so much.

But anyway, it's nice to be 12 again, and this time without all the zits and awkwardness. I know it freaks people out when I tell them I'm a 12 year old who has to keep an eye on my prostate. You see, people started telling me about 6 years ago when I was having my last legal vote in 2008, the second time I saw age 18, to start watching my prostate. First of all, do y'all know how hard that is? I thought I was never going to get over the severe cramps I got in my back and neck, but I made it a point to keep pushing even harder to take care of my health, no matter how much it hurt. At least I only had to keep an eye on my prostate every couple of years.

The worst mistake I ever made, though, was when I decided to check on it while I was outside having myself a STINKY. Ugh. A dark moment that was. A dark moment. You can only imagine how stupid I felt when I forgot and did it again a couple of years later. Ever darker, that moment was. At least that time I was wearing my work clothes so it didn't matter so much.

Around that time, people were actually starting to not like it if you had a STINKY right next to them in a subway car or in a grocery store aisle. It wasn't long at all before people's tolerance really started running out. I remember the first time people had the audacity to complain if I had a quiet, unobtrusive STINKY in the middle of a restaurant while everyone was eating. I mean, it's not like I was holding my STINKY right under their noses, was it?

About 26 years ago, the first time I was aged 20, people started telling me I should go outside to have ALL of my STINKIES. Now that was just unreasonable. I told them I should be allowed to have a STINKY at my desk anytime I wanted, like I always did. But they said when I had a STINKY that close to them, that they were smelling 'em and getting sick. Second hand STINKY, they called it. I had never thought my STINKIES smelled that bad, personally.

After that, when I wasn't in my own home, I was forced to have almost all my STINKIES in parking lots and on sidewalks. Then people started telling us that the day was coming that we may never be allowed to have a STINKY ever again, even at home. I'll miss having STINKIES anywhere I wanted to. And I was scared I'd go crazy if I had to stop having STINKIES altogether.

So when you find yourself out in a parking lot somewhere having a quick STINKY and you're thinking how inconvenient it is, just remember one of my dark moments, and maybe you'll feel a little better. :)

Call them "death" because that is what it causes.

Or "death sticks" lol

"You wanna buy some death sticks?"
"You don't want to sell me death sticks."
"... I don't wanna sell you death sticks."
"You want to go home and rethink your life."
"... I want to go home and rethink my life."

But seriously, I just call 'em cigs.

I just realized I'm two days away from my Three-Month Mark. :D

It's hard to believe I haven't had a stinky in 89 days. When I was younger, I never would have thought I could go nearly that long without a stinky.

I read this article that said if you go more than a week without having a stinky that you should see a doctor because it can make you really sick. How can refusing to let yourself have a stinky for a long time actually cause a health problem? :blink:



(Yes I'm a child, and I'm gonna be a child. Because I enjoy it. *looking for the "pffft" smilie*)

;)


Call ANYTHING a ... in America and 100,000 people will start screaming HATE CRIME, HATE CRIME!

:D
I put that one in the same category as getting slapped by an American girl in a bar because you ask her if she prefers erasers, using the British term for them.
