a friend of mines (had to throw that in there) uses "ignorant" in all the wrong ways. i don't think he knows what it really means.
Vizzini: HE DIDN'T FALL? INCONCEIVABLE.
Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I have to say an Ex of "mines" used to use "mines" all the time and it was one of the reasons we broke up. I couldn't be a business function and people look at me like I am dating an idiot when they say "oh yes mines is just like that." Not to mention drove me up the freaking wall!!! I don't know how I put up with it for 4 years!!!

Edit: .. yes I do the sex was good...

Last weekend we were standing on the beach and this chick went by with the biggest poof of hair on her head.

I said "That is some voluminous hair." and the guy who was standing next to me chuckled and said, "Man, how do you make up these words??" Turns out any time I use a word that is slightly outside of his vocab he thought I was making it up. We had to review a list of words that he thought were fake from earlier in the day. Later that night I twice had to indicate words that were real after I said them.

I felt like a douche bag. When I apologized and for probably sounding pretentious, he gave me a look like "fake word or real word." DOH!

What really bothers me is the prevalent ebonics lingo going on in the Bay Area of California. It not only influences the African Americans there, but the general youth. A lot of my friends say "I'm don't want to drink NO MO" or "I AIN'T GON DRINK DAT SHIT, YO." I know they're intelligent people, but...they sure don't sound it.
Like "hella". I've also seen people type "prolly" for "probably."

I feel the need to resurrect this:

When you finish reading through this you will understand 'TENJOOBERRYMUDS' "

Assume a telephone exchange between you as a hotel guest and room-service in sunny California.

Room Service : "Morrin. Roon sirbees."

Guest: "Sorry, I thought I dialed room-service."

Room Service: " Rye. Roon sirbees...morrin! Joowish to oddor sunteen???"

Guest: "Uh..... Yes, I'd like to order bacon and eggs."

Room Service: "Ow july den?"

Guest: ".....What??"

Room Service: "Ow july den?!?... pryed, boyud, poochd?"

Guest: "Oh, the eggs! How do I like them? Sorry.. scrambled, please."

Room Service: "Ow july dee baykem? Crease?"

Guest: "Crisp will be fine."

Room Service: "Hokay. An sahn toes?"

Guest: "What?"

Room Service: "An toes. July sahn toes?"

Guest: "I... don't think so."

Room Service: "No? Judo wan sahn toes???"

Guest: "I feel really bad about this, but I don't know what 'judo wan sahn toes' means."

Room Service: "Toes! Toes!...Why joo don juan toes? Ow bow Anglish moppin we bodder?"

Guest: "Oh, English muffin!!! I've got it! You were saying 'toast'...

Fine...Yes, an English muffin will be fine."

Room Service: "We bodder?"

Guest: "No, just put the bodder on the side."

Room Service: "Wad?!?"

Guest: "I mean butter... just put the butter on the side."

Room Service: "Copy?"

Guest: "Excuse me?"

Room Service: "Copy...tea..meel?"

Guest: "Yes. Coffee, please... and that's everything."

Room Service: "One Minnie. Scramah egg, crease baykem, Anglish moppin, we bodder on sigh and copy ... rye??"

Guest: "Whatever you say."

Room Service: "Tenjooberrymuds."

Guest: "You're welcome"

Remember I said "When you finish reading through this you will understand 'TENJOOBERRYMUDS' ".....and you do, don't you!

Tenjooberrymuds!

Its the result of the declination in the English language due to todays modern culture.

I HATE it when people don't speak correctly. Not only is it annoying to listen to, but it makes them sound like a 4 year old.
Declination??
