owned, I can abide by. Pwned, nay.
Lol, if not actually spelled out, can be lived with.

Those are two of the worst things anybody could ever say, in my book. It's bad enough on the internet, but it is a million times worse in real life.
Jace:
Most of the people I know who will say "epic fail" will say it as loud as they can. Even now, I am imagining someone I knew who would say that shit and it is metaphorically making my blood boil.
Edit: Better Hannah?

--- Quote from: KvP on 08 Dec 2008, 18:23 ---Honestly I don't like the whole "partner" thing. Not because it's gender neutral, but because it feels too empty and antiseptic to be used in reference to someone you truly care for.
--- End quote ---
I think that is largely based off of usage. Words mean things only because the people saying them and hearing them have them mean something. The meaning to the person saying it could be completely different than the person hearing it. If you were used to saying partner, girlfriend or boyfriend might sound empty and antiseptic.
Eris:
Jace, I was just saying that you saying it "literally made your blood boil" then that would mean you blood would be actually, boiling and you would be dead. Just saying it is making your blood boil is ok, because it is a metaphor, but saying literally it is clarifying that it actually happened. Literally should not be thrown about willy-nilly, people!
