- - Overused words... (https://greekchat.com/gcforums/showthread.php?t=87814)

I thought of a new one, as I was reading a new author this weekend...

I hate when people use the word "far" to mean "much".

As in "The shoes were far too big on him".

I don't know why, but that just drives me crazy. I guess because I think of "far" as from NY to Cali. Not from a size 8 to a size 12.

Awesome God (Rich Mullins)
Oh when He rolls up his sleeves He ain't just puttin' on the ritz,
Our God is an awesome God
There is thunder in his footsteps and lightning in his fists
Our God is an awesome God

And the Lord wasn't joking when He kicked 'em out of Eden
It wasn't for no reason that He shed his blood
His return is very soon and so you'd better be believin' that
Our God is an awesome God

Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
with wisdom, pow'r and love
Our God is an awesome God

And when the sky was starless in the void of the night
Our God is an awesome God
He spoke into the darkness and created the light
Our God is an awesome God

And judgment and wrath He poured out on Sodom
Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross
I hope that we have not too quickly forgotten that
Our God is an awesome God

OMG I just got flash backs from youth group and the hand motions that go with that song !!! HEHEHEHEHEHEHE

english used to be so pretty.

It's especially annoying when I'm talking to an ADULT and that moron uses the word "like" at least 15 times in one sentence. I want to strangle them for butchering the English language.

"like" is the worst word ever.

I'm a grammar/spelling nazi myself, but I say "you know" way too often, you know? ;) I also overuse "seriously," "amAzing" (with emphasize on the second a)
My sister always says "that's depressing."
I can't stand people who say supposably, or libary.... and anytime people shorten words to undecipherable piles of letters when typing.

what happened to the words used by Shakespeare and Austen, the ones that give character, depth, and meaning to what we say?

Phrases:
Are you kidding me?
At the end of the day

Pimp.

Pimpin'

Big Pimp

Pimped

See....like...what had happend wuz...she pimped dude over there for some shoes that was far too small for her feet, needless to say at the end of the day she was pissed that she played him like that...got nothing out of it...he was cool with it tho because he got his swerve on....so it was all good (had to add that there!!)
