I don’t know what it is about this word that makes me hate it so, but I cringe when people use it in speech or in a blog entry. Maybe it’s because it’s a made up word. It’s popular enough to be added to Webster’s New Millenniumâ„¢ Dictionary of English, Preview Edition (v 0.9.6), but I think we’re just dumbing down our language.
I’m well aware that using the word fuck repeatedly in my daily language makes me a GINORMOUS hypocrite, but you can just fuck off if you think that’s going to change.
That word doesn’t bother me as much as “embiggen” does. Why the heck can’t people just say “enlarge”??? It’s such a stupid word.
(btw, so sorry if you’ve ever used that word, but for some reason I think I remember you even commenting on hating it!)
Yeah, I’m with the previous commenter – embiggen is stewpid.
I really like ginormous.
I can vouch for you saying ‘fuck’ repeatedly in your daily language. How very GINORMOUS of you. ;-)
