The words you use?

Do you worry about which vocabulary you use to describe certain things?

Do you ever worry they are too vague?

Do you ever worry they are politically incorrect?

Do you ever try to change your vocabulary?

Do you ever succeed?

Etc. ?

 

Yes. I used "chunky" for a long time to describe women with a bit of meat on them...it was a compliment. Then stopped when I found out it wasn't a compliment at all.

 

That is a very good question. To be honest I wish I could kick the habbit of saying ain't. I hate the word, but I'm so used to saying it. Hmm...what else. I refer to myself as a dyke and people always tell me that I souldn't call myself that. Why not I'm a dyke, lol. And lately I have been trying to expand my vocabulary. Mostly because of my English class I am taking in college (which I hate, but that is another story).

 

Yeah I know what you mean. To people like ourselves who lik chunky chicks that is a compliment, but to most women I could see where they would not take it as a compliment.

 

So what did you eventually settle on “pleasingly plump?”

Hotwater

 

I know that when I am worried, it is because some aspect of my internal dialogue is not true.

See above for "worry".

No.

I try and discover that thing that I have misidentified.

Yes. Ask and you receive, seek and you shall find.

 

I have mixed opinions on my usages of "******" and "gay" will go from stopping using them, to changing what contexts I use them in, to forgetting I was doing anything and using them whenever felt appropriate.

I don't really have a life that requires any sort've political correctness, right now; but, I do not want to offend anyone with the words I use -- but I don't see why anyone should be offended by a word alone, and pay no attention at all to why it was used...

I don't like that "gay" means 'homosexuality' and 'lame', 'cheesy', 'retarded' -- but if I'm saying something's cheesy, the sentence should make that rather clear - and 'gay' is the only one I know that doesn't sound stupid to say.

 

When the third woman told me to hush my mouth, I did.

 

I am pretty happy with the words I use, although at times they do confused others. I tend to use words with double meanings quite often.

 

I always want to use more poetic and cool language.

Oh oh, and I always want to say "bro" and "brother" more, but "brother" doesn't seem to sound right out of my own mouth. Once I said "brah", and was appalled by myself right after.

 

Lol, no. That's worse, tbh.
I don't comment on a womens frame anymore.
I just flash my hazel eyes at them and they know how I feel about them.

 

I find it difficult to shorten words like that. Even with things like asap I have to say the whole things. Even in texts I don't shorten words or use 'text language'.

But, people do often criticise me for speaking properly
You just can't win!

 

Douchebag
Gay ass
Lame
Pff.

 

You may have noticed, I can be quite militant for standing up for grammar.

It's really important. When we talk like idiots all the time, we end up doing more talking about what the other person meant than anything else.

Just mockingly speak more simply, and you'll shut them up. =P

 

Me and my mates are sort of common lads who use long words. I would consider myself well educated, without coming across as pompous.

I use my grammar correctly, I can and do speak properly- but it doesn't define who I am. I am a product of my environment; lingo, warts 'n all.

 

What?

 

Yes and no...

I think about my word selection to some extent and what it communicates about me. I worry less about political correctness- I'm not keen on offending but I'm not going to allow an aggressive agenda of taking pointed offense at innocuous language to constrain the vast verbal palette at my disposal, enabling those terminally affected by a stick up their ass to not get a fucking sense of humor.

 

My speech is colloquial. I spend most of my time surrounded by cretins, so I tend to say things like 'up your face.' instead of 'please' and ' hey faggot' in place of 'pardon me sir'.

However I rigorously adhere to more obscure grammar rules, like the serial comma.
