Commonly Used Words That Don't Exist

I'm so not in to sports, movies, celebrities, music from the past 30 years and current media sensationalism; I had to look him up.

Yup, I ignore most of the malarkey and hoo ha of the look at me society and the chaotic confusion the so called news churns out.

 

I cringe every time I hear someone say conversate.

 

Exactamundo

.

 

Whaaaat's up!!

 

How about INvite? I think the new buzz word should be INvitate. But I agree with you on conversate.

 

There;s ol' Hank (Winkler)Fonzarelli, for ya.

 

I have refurbished things, but never furbished.

 

Makes me think of "recycling". Completely different from "cycling".

 

But shaving could be considered defurbishing.

 

If I do something that causes me to tire, why would I want to retire?

 

Prostrate exam, or prostrate cancer. it’s prostate!! As a stage III high risk prostate cancer survivor, I especially cringe when I hear men who have had prostate cancer refer to it as prostrate.

 

Also, ssuppp, for what’s up.

 

So in the UK why don't they retyre?

 

Those are the ones desperately trying to make people say prostrate-to get a new buzzword going. Parts of the body shouldn't have new names "just because everyone is saying them(the new names).

 

But prostrate is a word. It means to stretch out and lie (lay?) face down on the ground. In our church, while we don't see it much, it's an act of worship.

 

Too-shay, but you have to wonder if people confuse others by saying that, instead of "prostate".

 

Well, THAT didn't go anywhere(chuk yuk yuk)

 

Herre in Boston there's an ad for a place called Town Fair Tire. They pronounce it just like that, instead of what you would expect-"Tiyuh".

 

We have Town Fair Tire also in Connecticut and we also say it the same as tire out.

 

Though it gets rather embarrassing in church when the reader confuses the two words. OTOH it is rather funny when Jesus ends up arguing with the Saduccis (Saducees).
