    Does anyone else notice
    idiot children using 'verse' as a verb form
    of 'versus'?

    As in, "The Broncos are versing the Ravens today."

    PUNCH! FACE! KI-YAH!

    Cheers.

    Because 'bespoke' is not the same as 'custom-made'? I would rather have a bespoke dress than one that has been custom made.

    CBG.. I find scrotum is a funny word.... :oops:

    I don't have a problem with words as such (except the 'made up' ones) but how they are used. I really dislike any type of jargon.

    'asked' only because it drives me bloody mad when people say 'axed' instead. Grrrrrr :x

    I still hate the word 'bespoke'. bespoke? be spoke? he spoke?

    Hi funny thread... Mind if I join? It annoys me when people use medical terminology when it's not necessary. Such as "he had a lot of emesis today." It's vomit. Just say it like it is and stop trying to impress others. Emesis gets punched in the face for sure.

    It cannot be! It's supposed to be a guilty pleasure.

    thorough
    through
    tough
    thought

    and any other words that have silent multi letter combinations. Why did they ever exist to begin with?
