It’s all about words today here at the Bones.
If you could banish a word from the English Language what would it be?
Me.
I would flush the word boing.
Heck.
I wouldn’t even bother to flush it, I’d take a plunger and jam it down the first toilet I could get too before I could stomp it out of existance.
Who the hell came up with that one?
Boing.
It serves no darn purpose.
Oh and while I’m at it I say we loose Awesome…I don’t hate the word Awesome I just think it would be funny to see what happens if people can’t short cut a view by heading down ‘awesome avenue’ instead of EXPLAINING why they think something is so spectacular it sucks the air out fo their lungs and makes them feel that the Universe is truly a very big place and that feeling sends a tingle up and down their spine.
So … think about it what word would you like to lose?

A.M., this post is awesom….. oops, sorry… 🙂
The word that I would punt out of the vernacular is “vetted.” A year ago I had never heard of this word. Now I hear it everywhere. Why can’t the news pundits just say “the candidate for the office will be closely examined”.. or scrutinized, or evaluated, or investigated, or any of a number of other words that can be garnered from a good thesaurus?
Anyway, “vetted” bugs me.
Damn! I was going to say exactly the same first line as Lori.
By the way, who’s the ugly fella in the pic 🙂
BTW, that video is freeeeeky. Puts a whole new spin on the turn “dog-face”.

I don’t hear that one anymore.
It’s so my brains don’t explode.

I still love your work.
You devil you.
“Smirk.” I really hate that word. And “Chortle.” They are overused habitually in scripts that are not very good that i have to read and the characters chortle and smirk through the whole script and I end up wanting to hit the write upside the head. I do not just want to hit the characters. I want to hit the writer.
I’m with you there Max.
Words that sound like you’re trying to hock something up that drained from your sinuses into your lungs need to be banned.
And woe to those who use them.
I am filled with awe. hehehe
