Commonly Used Words That Don't Exist

It really grates on me to hear someone say “I could care less.” It should be obvious how to say this.

 

One of Nick Saban’s favorite words! He can say it anyway he wants, LOL.

 

Let's have some fun with this one. A man tells someone something rather trivial. The listener barks out "I could care less". The first man says what do you mean"? Other guy: "It means that if I wanted to I could care less about what you just said, but I don't, so I care MORE what you said".

 

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)
