I just found that statement odd considering your previous one. So slutty is grand as long as it is for the filthy lucre?, if it is not then it is okay to humiliate the woman?

Women who hate strippers and prostitutes. "You have a brain, why are you wasting your life acting so cheap?" Because I have a hot body too, moron, and it makes a hell of a lot more money than my brain! Women's rights gave me the right to choose what job I want, not force me to take a brainy one

Ooh! Ohh! I thought of one today!

Rhyming things like 'rain' with 'again'. I don't mind it if the poem comes from an area of the world where they actually DO rhyme, but there are far too many American poets and songwriters out there who try to rhyme them. Terribly. It just throws the whole song off.

The way Americans pronounce 'herbal' as 'erbal'
The way everyone else but me pronounces 'Scones' as 'Scons'

How else are you supposed to say herbal? With a pronounced h? Ear-bull? ?? Either one is madness, I say.

Pronouncing the h is stupid. It's 'er-bol'. If you're going to start saying 'her-bol' I'm gonna start saying 'hour' with the h.

But they HAVE H's in them!!!

Nicely put, but the main focus I was making was drunkenness. Being a stripper isn't necesarily slutty, since most don't whore themselves out. But even if they did, that's their choice and they do it as a job. However, most drunken sluts act ridiculous and are not out to make money. I'm just saying strippers shouldn't lose self-respect just because of a job. Drunken sluts lose self (and others) respect because they are overdosing on alcohol and they think they're acting sexy when really they're acting ridiculous.

The moment you argue this poit a thousand other points will be brought up. Thus is the nature of English. We have stupid rules that have been working for ever, why change them now?

English is the most irritating language ever, with abstract rules stolen from various other languages in contradicting fashion. I remember at my unit someone was typing up a report and wasn't sure what the proper conjugation of a word was. The entire Personnel office argued the point, eight individuals, until finally someone looked it up. Both versions were considered proper. One word, one defintion, multiple spellings. WOO HOO!

My husband insists on pronouncing things phonetically. -_-

So now we have an 'agreement'. I won't use Yiddish idioms around the kids if he won't pronounce things phonetically. Unfortunately I hold my end of the bargain up more than he does, because he seems to think he's being *clever* and funny when he does it.

Which isn't confusing at all, because 'our' is pronounced 'are' to avoid such confusion.

It's actually hard for me to say 'our' the proper way. What can I say? I'm from the midwest.

I'm actually going to have to go with Sanskrit on this one. Beautiful language, but a bitch to learn. And oooh lord, sandhi will get you every time.

People who pause...

...for awkwardly long times...

... in the middle of a sentence, instead of figuring out what they're going to say before they start talking.

And then get offended by the slightest exhibition of impatience, whether it's just a bit of body language or all-out guessing at the rest of the sentence.

...I can't believe I didn't think of this peeve before.

She's more than a pet peeve, she's a horrible nightmare that won't go away.

I hate it when I find a burnt Cheeto amongst the worthy ones.

Eww, or that weird Captain Crunch piece that's coated in sugar but hard as a rock and it's either burnt or a foreign object of unknown origin! Blech.

Beware the black Rice Krispie.

Where is the quality control on those things?

Sure, burn an expensive piece of meat, and it's well done and savory. Burn a rice crispy and you're HITLER.

you can't prove that those black things are actually just burnt rice puffs with your average home chemistry kit.


they could just be mice (poop) krispies.
