"Holistic"
Gawd, how many people have been fleeced over that word.....
"Organic" is another one. Fleece City.

When used in conjunction with "chackra" + "wellness" and even "Zen" when used it a paragraph with "Yoga" followed by "Spirituality" & "Cosmic Conscientiousness" with the inevitable "raw foods" and the ultimate in simplicity: "brown rice".

...uttered by people that are and have always been perfectly healthy. (annoying)
These words and phrases are for those who doubt their health for whatever reason.
Real (marginally acceptable) or imagined (very annoying).

"disorientated"

I like to watch Man vs Wild, and it's what Bear says about every third word. What's wrong with "disoriented?"

Test yourself in the wild or even Disneyland or your favorite shopping mall on as little as a twenty-four hours old empty stomach no food, none, and you will know the meaning.
Try it.

If you can't do it, trust those who have when they say they feel "disoriented".

"Now, where did I park my car in this parking structure? Level 3 or 6? East side or west? Which way is west? I'm not familiar..."

Disorientated is British English, while Disoriented is American English.
kind of like Aluminium vs Aluminum.

I despise "and whatnot"... and pronouncing Vet-er-an, Vet-run.

South-Central LA?
I think maybe you're lost and should probably know it by now.
Habla Espanol pocho?
Try Orange County.
No don't. Never mind. It's worse there.

Heh. Not that I wouldn't enjoy the chance, it'd be unusual to see me there. I'm stuck in mosquito infested South Central Louisiana. Not too many miles from the Gulf Coast. Been here for Georges, Allison, Lili, Rita, and Gustav. Not a runner, we ride 'em out. Can hardly wait for the kids to grow up & move out of the house, so I can retire & move.

Oh man....
That's too funny.
...and sorry.
My BIG mistake.
South-Central L.A. is a well known district in SoCal.

Enjoy your well-earned retirement when it comes.
Mine is a couple or more years off still, depending on the weather of course.
Nah.....musicians don't get to retire so honorably.
One day someone (like the angel of death) will ever-so-politely suggest the jam session on the front porch down the street - free food and beer.
...and I'll be grateful for it.
Exactly how I started.

Looks like I ran everyone off. Sorry. So, who's going to stand up and say that cutting a man's penis off is an appropriate reaction to finding out he's cheated on you? And, what is an appropriate, corresponding response for a man who discovers his woman is cheating on him?

??? :confused: ???

Haha... When I first saw the quote at the top of the page, I didn't bother to go back to the previous page to see what annoying word turned this thread toward chopping penises off. Turns out it was out of the blue.

And, speaking of vaper lingo... I hate the word 'joose'. What's the point? I could understand if we vapors pronounced it differently, and misspelled it to reflect that, but we don't.

Wheezing the Joose!! But I agree- not a big fan here.. I always pause a bit after someone says those words.
