UGH

ARGH!

ARGHHHHHHHHH

UGH!

women (and it's always women or gay men) who use this in print think it adds emphasis (My inlaws gave us a long list of foods they won't eat. UGH!) (I lost my SmartTrip card - ARGH).

but it's always superfluous. we can accurately guess without the guttural pirate loogey noise that you aren't delighted you lost your SmartTrip card.

I hate: It is what it is. Thanks, PP! It's just so useless.
