Feed as a noun, not a verb...

As in, "I gave baby her morning feed."


Makes it sound like the baby is a farm animal....

"Feeding" wouldn't bother me though... "I fed my baby in the morning" wouldn't bother me either.

I first saw "feed" as a verb when a friend gave me that "Baby Whisperer" book...and then when I talked with that friend about it, she mentioned giving her baby a "feed." Yuck.

wicked fun, wicked crazy, wicked happy -- and of course, wicked pissah

As a former Masshole I love using the word "wicked" to describe nearly everything!

"An historic moment." Was this always correct?

[Anonymous]

Oh....and using non specific nouns to refer to a specifc person....

Like saying "I'm going to put baby to bed" Instead of saying "I'm going to put Emily to bed"

or "I'll ask doctor to check out my sore throat" instead of "I'll ask Dr. Smith to checkout my sore throat".

Adding a "the" in front would make it ok though "I'm going to ask the doctor..."

That should say I first saw "feed" as a noun when a friend gave me...

Basically any crap you would write on decaled t-shirt from Ocean City.

This especially pains me when wealthy, sheltered tweens from the suburbs bust this out.

I also can't stand it when people reference terms or catchphrases from sitcoms- e.g: Seinfeld (No Soup for You!) This annoys the hell out of me.

The word blogosphere. Use of that word makes it immediately obvious that you've have no idea how the internet works.

Anonymous wrote:"Nice to see you," instead of "nice to meet you," when I meet a complete stranger.

Ma'am (so insulting and backwards)

I hate when people say "nice to meet you" when I've met them before.
