One of my coworkers does that all the time. I hear her on the phone talking and she'll use these rare words TOTALLY out of context. I hate her, so I just laugh!Chat Icon I'm sure the people on the other end are like ***?!

...people who use big words when they write to make themselves seem smart. What ends up happening is, they misuse the words and look like morons."



My supervisor does that. When she speaks, she shows her true colors.

It always bothers me when people say "I could care less." when they really mean "I *couldn't* care less"

If you could care less, that means you do care.
If you couldn't care less, it means that you care so little for it, you cannot possibly care any less.

Quote from the movie "The Princess Bride"... "I do not think it means what you think it means." :)



that irks me too! i laugh, in my head, at them Chat Icon

I had a friend who always used big words in the wrong context. I hated that, we used to make fun of him all the time Chat Icon
