Victoria Beckham admits that her children are the most important part of her life
Jennifer Aniston admits that she is very much in love

You should only admit to bad things.

I don't get your point here.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 15 April 2005 02:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Masculine. I hate this word. It's the most un-manly sounding word for manly.

Am I the only one who loves new words and ways of saying things? Maybe it's my linguistics degree that's to blame.

― dog latin (dog latin), Friday, 15 April 2005 17:44 (twenty-one years ago)

around the newsroom here, whenever the reporters do good and pat each other on the back they say they "commit journalism." and a hush falls and tears are shed because it's a very HEAVY thing apparently. drives me fucking nuts.

'she already knows we all want to fuck her'

a friend of mine used to shiver like crazy whenever someone said "moist."

― kelsey (kelstarry), Friday, 15 April 2005 18:31 (twenty-one years ago)

"hardcore bonefest"

I knew a girl called Kirsten Moist

deal-io, as in "yo, what's the deal-io?" (I used to say this myself)

― Maria :D (Maria D.), Friday, 15 April 2005 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought it was funny when my local Dairy Queen put on its marquee "WHAT THE DILLY-YO." (This was maybe 1998?)

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 15 April 2005 20:24 (twenty-one years ago)

dude. that was at K.

― kelsey (kelstarry), Friday, 15 April 2005 20:40 (twenty-one years ago)

i know. it was my local dairy queen at the time.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 15 April 2005 20:40 (twenty-one years ago)

three months pass...

"Owned" (in it's various guises and spellings) is really awful isn't it? I suppose it always infers a sexual element, but when actually used to describe a sex act, then it becomes almost intolerable with hateful power dynamics and an economic cynicism. < /fun>

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 8 August 2005 17:34 (twenty years ago)

But what about "pwned"?

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 8 August 2005 17:40 (twenty years ago)

That's what I meant by "in it's various guises and spellings."

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 8 August 2005 17:50 (twenty years ago)

its

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 8 August 2005 17:52 (twenty years ago)

There are no power dynamics or economic cynicism (whatever that means) in "pwn," because it doesn't mean anything. You can't even pronounce it.

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 8 August 2005 17:53 (twenty years ago)

Haha, I was with my brother one time, and I forget the context, but he said something like, "Oh yeah, he was totally ... uh ... owned." I was like, "were you about to try to pronounce P-W-N?" He said, "Heh, yeah."

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 8 August 2005 17:55 (twenty years ago)

I see Spencer's point, tho, w/r/t ownership -- equating humiliating someone or putting them in their place with possessing them.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 8 August 2005 17:57 (twenty years ago)

THAT IS THE POINT

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 8 August 2005 17:57 (twenty years ago)

"Can we please use some less insulting insults?"

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 8 August 2005 17:58 (twenty years ago)

Actually, I never really thought about it literally until just now. I've always just used it as a synonym for "SCHOOLED!" or something.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 8 August 2005 17:59 (twenty years ago)

I've always been bothered by it, but the tortoise sex face captioning finally made me do something about it!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 8 August 2005 18:01 (twenty years ago)

what jaymc said, the way I conceive of it doesn't have much to do with sex at all (or only incidentally).

― tremendoid (tremendoid), Monday, 8 August 2005 19:31 (twenty years ago)

Not literally, no, but what's often inferred is pretty obvious.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 8 August 2005 19:39 (twenty years ago)

i HATE these words and shudder when i hear them:

tabernacle
moist
salve

― ai lien (kold_krush), Monday, 8 August 2005 20:46 (twenty years ago)

I hate 'maths' as much as the original poster hates 'math', but I like 'cheers' which is like so totally weird!

mentalism

― the reason is because I associate it with ILX, Tuesday, 9 August 2005 11:33 (twenty years ago)

I prefer 'Owned!' to 'Who's your daddy?' 'Who's my bitch?' and all those other shitty terms.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 11:37 (twenty years ago)

owned is so 2002.

'sonned' is annoying but i might start using it anyway

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 11:49 (twenty years ago)

I've always just used it as a synonym for "SCHOOLED!" or something.

I like "schooled". Do people say that? Well they should.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 12:01 (twenty years ago)

also, people tend to say "i could care less" when they mean "i couldn't care less"

and i detest the word "irregardless".

yes

"Tragedy" or "tragic" to refer to anything other than a story that fits the classic theatrical tragedy formula.

"serious" when used to mean "large in magnitude"

I think Ronan, mentions it upthread, but "son" as an address at the end of a sentence and "sonned" make my SKIN CRAWL.

i like all of these. except when someone uses "son" without joking and without affection, but 90% of the time i hear it, it's ok. "sonned" is just funny.

"owned" is fine, although it is a bit tired now.

"schooled" is classic.

― sleep (sleep), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 12:44 (twenty years ago)

"kudos"

― sleep (sleep), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 12:45 (twenty years ago)

i don't understand spencer's problem with 'owned'. 'swnned' is funny, for me, now.

― N_RQ, Tuesday, 9 August 2005 12:49 (twenty years ago)

Owned is bad but not as bad as pwned. I think pretty much any word is annoying if it is fetishized and overused. Yes, I hate your fun.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 13:04 (twenty years ago)

I'm sure I've ranted about it elsewhere on ILX, but I cannot stand the usage of the word "drops" to connote "is released" in terms of new albums. Perhaps my mind is firmly entrenched in the men's room, but it just sounds rather needlessly scatalogical to me. Stop it.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 13:07 (twenty years ago)

it's pretty standard linguistic practice. at one point ilx was awash with 'omgwtflol's.

xpost

― N_RQ, Tuesday, 9 August 2005 13:07 (twenty years ago)

Yes, I know.
