I hate words being hijacked or being used improperly, one example is the word "wicked". Us 'oldies' know what the word means. Murder is wicked, Hitler was wicked, but young people now say "wicked" when they like something or think it's really good.

I'm old fashioned, but I hate the English language changing like that, dost thou not agree?

Well, they SAY it's the language evolving, but I doubt it's an evolution. More like devolution.

Thank you, Hank.

Your post got me thinking again, Bubba. (You're always doin' that.) Perhaps it waould be better if we went back to speaking in the style of Shakespeare! Forsooth and all that.

Well, I've always been taught that words have meanings. The way words get twisted these days seems to me to be making language nearly useless. Might as well go back to grunting at each other.

Graham, at least you spelled everything correctly, and said everyting that you wanted to say. I've often found myself in some trouble with my spelling accidents and accidently letting the wrong words slip out. So, be as merry and gay as you wish. I, for one, feel that I have no right to joke around about your word choices, knowing that my own word choices have been amusingly inapropriate at certain times. I try not to drink and type as much anymore.

I've got a couple of mates who are gay
and both have told me that a kilt
in the gay community is considered passe.
One is gay in both meanings the other is gay in orientation and a lovely chap but
miserable as a rainy day.

Just a thought as someone asked me if I was afraid that people would think I was gay
when I wore a kilt.

1. I'm not afraid of what people think.
2. Would they think I was gay only when I wore a kilt or all the time???
3.Why gay, when gays don't wear them, as a fashion faux pas within their community.

Now if I wandered round in a lycra vest top......
I've just realised why Sarah likes too go round to their house, it's full of good looking, toned blokes in tight fitting tops....
