*insert correct word here*

I used to take great joy in listening to people waffle on, and used to really enjoy listening to grown people trying to create a sentence and having difficulty with it.


But the more I listen.........the more its starting to get to me.


The main word I can't stand people using is "ironic".

Lets get this out of the way straight away, Alanis Morisette's song Ironic. The only thing thats ironic about it is that the person singing has no idea what irony is. It's not ironic in the slightest. Its Happenstance, alright.


The more I hear people using the word ironic incorrectly the more I die a little.

Actual conversation.

Customer: There was a guy at another bingo place I go to, he's a tuck driver, and he was winning all the time one day.
Craigy: Right...
Customer: You wanna know the ironic thing?
Craigy *smiling* sure...
Cstomer: A week later.....he was dead.

I was incredibly confused by this and just sort of looked blankly at her. Had he died by lots of winning bingo tickets faling on him. Maybe he received many paper cuts from all of his winnings and over the course of the week bled to death.

There is a person at work that kinda looks like Gollum, he's not the brightest person in the world and I love picking on him when he doesn't realise it.


I do this by using big words that he has no idea what they mean. The game I am playing with Sarah and Gollum (without him knowing) is that we have to use a word in conversation with him and see if he questions it. Extra points for not using the correct word and not having it questioned. Extra extra points for, him then using the in-correct word in the wrong way.


Incredibly cruel I'm sure........perhaps its ironic...........then again maybe not.

I will keep an up t dae list of words that I have used and he hasn't understood.
