Well, if you would - like - spend some time with 7 teen-age girls, you'd - like - know how much that they - like - hate the THAT word and - like - how much they - like - LOVE Brad Pitt and that woman he left - like - his wife for.
Gentilly ... 42 years is a long time to wait .... a Northeast Texas woman can hope.
My love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain.

I so agree...and am sad to say...there are a lot who still don't know the difference between YOUR and YOU'RE. (Like our chief deputy at the sheriff's office.) I have to clean up behind him/them all the time!

I got thinking about this listening to Monday Night Football, and one of the announcers said, "The Jets just literally shot themselves in the foot with that play." No they didn't. They figuratively shot themselves in the foot. If they had literally been using guns on the field, the stadium likely would have had to have been evacuated.
I have tears from laughing at the image in my mind, of each Jets player withdrawing a pistol from their belts and firing downward into their left foot simultaneously.
Each player is helped off the field, as a new set of players nervously take their places....
Been watching SNL.....

The other one that bugs me is "per se" and when people say "orientated" instead of "oriented."
Grrrrrrrrrrr.
I absolutely HATE when people say orientated! In my job people often misuse words. We often talk of O2 SATS, which is short for saturation. Often the firemen will say O2 Stats- they are not stats, that doesn't even make sense!!
Once I was listening to a dispatcher sending out a call and she said that the patient was in and out of cohesiveness!!! I thought, what the hell, is he sticking to things!

I've heard/seen 'hella' a lot lately... forgive my ignorance, is this a mushed up version of "hell of a"?? Just curious.
I thought it was a take-off on "Heli-skiing"
Skiing is cool, but when you go helicopter-skiing, it is the ultimate cool.
So now the very coolest of anything you're doing... is "Heli-whatever"
