Granted, the term "Batman license" is subject to interpretation.mojo84 wrote:"Batman license" Used by those that are afraid to assist another human being that is in trouble and those that want to demean the ones that are willing to assist.
At times, it comes across as cowards criticizing heros for doing the right thing.

If "folk" is more than one, how many is "folks"?

Add "homophobic" to the list of misused accusations of the misunderstood minority.Oldgringo wrote:By the same/similar token, "racist" is another word frequently misused.WildBill wrote:Oldgringo wrote:"hate".... It seems, more and more, that if one disagrees with someone or their agenda, one is pronounced to be guilty of "hate". The words "hate" and "disagreement" are not automatically synonymous.

If I don't recognize the number, I don't answer. If it's important and/or for me, the caller will leave a message which I will immediately return.Javier730 wrote:I dont like when someone calls my cell and says "Whos this?". When someones calls me and asks that I immediately hang up and will not answer any calls from that number.

Re: Word use that drives you up the wall!
That's exactly what I'm talkin' about! It's just as easy to despise something/somebody as it is to hate that entity. Granted, "despise" is not a monosyllable but it can be pronounced with practice.WildBill wrote:I hate the word hate. It's so, so, so ... hateful.Oldgringo wrote:The word "hate" is being overused and misused by the media and certain public figures on a daily basis. Disagreement is not "hate" and it's okay not to like everybody and everything.
