Words I dislike

Keeping with the vocabulary theme, I will now go through some of the words that I dislike, and thus, you should make a point to discontinue thier use as soon as possible.

Gig: both in reference to a gigabyte and to a show you are going to play.

Pudding: Part of this may just be that I think pudding is gross

Panties: That's not sexy

Grilling (even worse is: grilling out): Please just say that you will be barbecuing. I will note that I do NOT dislike the word grill as in "I will bust yo' grill".

Gloop and Glop: can't we find a better word for mysterious sauces?

Chill: If there is one thing that should get you beat up; it's telling someone to "chill".

Soft-serve: I see a pattern with soft foods

New favorite words

I was reading about Phineas Gage and I came across these great new words. I can't wait to incorporate them into my vocabulary.

braggadocio: A boastful character

vainglorious: Characterized by or exhibiting excessive vanity

I was also looking at A Classical Dictionary of a Vulgar Tongue by Francis Grose, 1931. Where I also found some good words. The only problem being that many of the words are defined using other words that I have never heard and that are not defined.

Here are a few other ones I plan to use.

Cut: Drunk

A little cut over the head: slightly intoxicated.

To cut up well: To die rich

Sees: The eyes
