crappy words!

[MLE]

I hate any words that don't have a definition even close to what their etymology seems it would be.

Like "reply".

[Fathom Zero]

bodkin

[EisigerBiskuit]

bundt

[DeadKennedys]

Worse than bunt?

Jerkin. Jerkin. Jerkin.

[Sacks]

There's no good way to avoid it aside from saying "passing gas". And that is lame.

1. "bottom burp"
2."fire the pants cannon"
3."stepped on a duck"
4."cut the cheese"
5."cut the mustard"
6."flatulate"
7."oops... i made a smelly" - Richard Pryor
8. "No, woman, you SHIT!" - Richard Pryor
9."make the methane"
10. "rip ass", "tear ass", etc.


And as far as crappy words go, add "EMO" to the list. I have no idea what this word means anymore, if i ever did. In the mid to late 80's, "emo" kind of meant you listened to bands within the punk rock genre that mostly sang about "No one understands me, I can't fit in, blah blah blah". Some folks would say if you listened to anything off of Dischord Records you were "emo". I don't care. I won 150 dollars at a casino this weekend so i'm getting drunk for the 1st time in like two months. Because no one understands me.


And I don't fit in.

I said "good way to avoid it". If I wanted an encyclical of crass euphemisms, I'd watch television. You know, something like Frasier.

[Obscurus Lupa]

I can't tell you how many times I've had to turn Frasier off because of the fart jokes.

[Sacks]

Are there seriously that many fart jokes in Frasier? How bizarre.

[JediScum]

Yeah, i think it was the 4th episode of the 1st season where Lilith flatulates like a rhino and sends a dingleberry into someone's eye, which does hurt like hell, believe you me.

And Mr. Sethomas... you are right. I personally don't see why you would not like the word "fart" however, all humans are different. The list i previously provided was just to offer alternatives but, i did notice that almost all were not just phrases but slang as well. After some thought, i'm still stumped. "Flatulate" is the biological term however, aside from "fart", i cannot currently think of a way to reference the phenomenon that doesn't use slang.

Immediately, the best substitution i can think of are in foreign languages. the only one I know of is the Spanish "pedo", but using that word around the Hispanic community, especially among strangers could be dangerous, as the word does have slang meanings that are confrontational (ie. "QUE PEDO?" = WHAT IS YOUR FART? {literally} or in slang WHAT IS YER FUCKING PROBLEM?) Not good. Leads to knife fights.

This is intriguing. Is there a word besides "fart" or "flatulate", that isn't slang, a vulgarity or overly scientific? I will do my best to research this because, well, I'm not really doing much else.

I hate it when people say "we're pregnant" unless they are two lesbians who are pregnant.

I suppose they don't have to lesbians but that would be hotter.

[Sacks]

What about "we're having a baby"? Does that bother you?

[Emu]

No, because it takes two people to have a baby, but only the woman's pregnant.

[Sacks]

Technically it takes two people to -make- a baby, not have one. HO HO.

[DeadKennedys]

Onus. I can't stand that.
