Completely agree.
IMHO
No, your opinion is not humble. Why can't people just say "I think (insert opinion)"?

I know a girl who says "I'm gonna take a piss", and I think it is hot. ^^
Also, I rotate between "gonna go drain the (giant) lizard", "gonna take a piss", and "gonna take a wizz" randomly.
Panties
I agree with the poster that said women should have a grown-up word for their underwear, but it is still a hot word.

I call things gay and retarded all the time. Why gay? Because to me "gay" is a general insult. Do I hate gay people? No. Is it possible to use the word "gay" as an insult yet not hate gay people? Yes, it is, actually. I don't associate "gay" insult with "gay" people. Your brain does not work exactly like mine, trust me. Same thing goes with the word "retarded". Of course, I realize that calling things gay and retarded offends some people, so I only use these words around close friends who I know won't get offended and who understand that I don't make close-minded generalizations about homosexuals or mentally retarded people.

Try reading Mark Twain's <u>Letters from the Earth</u>, especially the section titled <u>The Tramp Abroad</u>. You might enjoy it.
Stuff that drives me wild:
When people type "your" instead of "you're". Especially when the person doing it is an intelligent individual making an intelligent point in their post. For me, this severely detracts from the value of the post.
Second thing that drives me insane is the misuse of "their", "they're" and "there". To me not knowing how to use these words properly is a direct indication of how ignorant a person is of the English language. I can tolerate all other misspellings and grammatical errors, though. And no, I'm not an English major. Far from it. I'm just a big fan of good grammar, and a strong supporter of it.
Words and their variations that I hate to hear in conversations:
Dichotomy
Pragmatism
Communism (mostly because people don't know what they're talking about when they use this word)
Any political figure's name (yes, I hate discussing politics)
And well, a whole bunch more, but they're in Spanish. Here are some examples:
Eque (es que)
O sea (way over used)
Pirata
Piraton
Que padre (grrr!!!!!!!!!!!!)
