penultimate or vapid. Those two words have crept into pseudo-intellectual internet talk and are used to the point they have become meaningless.

Thankfully, 'thrade' is only used by one person.

The word I hate the most on Wikipedia is "defenestrate" and its variants.

**MediconStop** · 10-31-2009, 04:35 AM

Likewise. It's such an unusual way to die that I'd definitely prefer to go that way (assuming I die from impacting with the ground and not from bleeding to death from a thousand tiny cuts). "Hey remember loinburger?" "No, should I?" "He was the dude who got defenestrated!" "Oh yeah! That was awesome!"

As a law student, I'd like to see the words "substantial," "reasonable," and "undue" permanently deleted from the English language.

(Yes, I know that would hurt my chances at employment, and yes, it'd be worth it.)

**evalayCap** · 10-31-2009, 11:10 PM

unduly substantial....unreasonable

Give me a quantitative bright line, damn you!!!

**voksveta** · 10-31-2009, 11:58 PM

unconscionable

AAAAGH! I KNEW I forgot one!!!11one

And don't get me started on "appropriate"...

Oh, and how could I forget "many"! The word that only leaves you guessing, guessing 'bout the things you really ought to know, whoah oh! I really oughta know, you know I should, you know I should!

**GenrieAB** · 11-01-2009, 01:47 AM

Of those, obviously thrade. lulz is just cute girly talk. But thrade is just like someone trying to offer you a deal on a fetus coctail, and he even can't manage to talk properly.

Some schmuck on wikipedia spends all of his time looking for articles on portmanteaus and inserting "this word is a portmanteau" into the article along with a link to the portmanteau article. Within five minutes of learning the word "portmanteau" I hated it.

I think the same guy looks for articles in which to insert a link to "eponymous."

The thing to do is to hijack all his links. Try to convince the world that "portmanteau" is actually a long cape with a ruffled collar.

**kucheravka** · 12-14-2009, 01:29 PM

Dunno which is moar annoying...

**Gmvkgkmn** · 12-14-2009, 05:05 PM

lulz has kind of grown on me.

**uniopaypamp** · 12-14-2009, 10:54 PM

"thrade"

Only an idiot would use it.

**theatadug** · 12-15-2009, 03:31 AM

Thrade.
