Offseason Thread: What words do you wish had a larger role in today's vernacular?
It's the offseason.
The offseason sucks. Let's talk about words that kick ass that we don't use enough. I'll start. Fisticuffs Fisticuffs is a hell of a word. It rolls right off your tongue. And it sounds cool as hell. But the real reason it needs to be used is there is a massive difference between 2 gentlemen settling a disagreement with fisticuffs and a knock down drag out fight. Rubbish Our dorky big brothers across the pond don't **** it all up. Rubbish is a great word. You can tell me virtually any joke and if you work "rubbish" in there I'll probably laugh. Plus, if you use rubbish reguarly in regards to general trash/garbage, it saves the word "Trash" for trailer trash types. Packs more punch that way. What do you have? Let's start a grass roots movement to change our language for the better. |

Oh I love fisticuffs. That's great.
And you're right. There is a huge difference. |

I've been trying to work in 'indubitably' whenever possible lately.

Savvy. But not in the shrewd sense. In the verb/pirate sense. But only if I could sound like Johnny Depp when I said it.

Hootenannies are any boisterous get together. Kind of like the difference between a party and a disco.
