Since most of the time, I actually do laugh out loud, I feel entitled to use LOL. But I truthfully prefer *giggle*. Fan of asterisks, you see.

Also, Steph, I must now use the word fie at lease twice a day. Olden words, like fie, or hilding, are so much more fun to use!!

If there's one word that bugs the hell out of me it's when people use 'OCD' as a synonym for being a little bit of a perfectionist, or being neat – when people say things like "oh, I'm so OCD about this, lol!" really flippantly. I think it shows a horrendous amount of ignorance about a condition that causes an enormous amount of distress and suffering (and perhaps it's jokes like these that cause so many people to not take OCD sufferers seriously :S). It's like when people choose to swear a lot and then laugh and say "Oh, I have Tourette's". Again, it's unbelievably ignorant – I find it hard to believe that anybody with OCD or Tourette's syndrome would announce it with a great big grin on their face.

But, um, why does that matter? What's wrong with the way "gay" changed? Plus if language never evolved we'd all be talking like Shakespeare. Or cave people, wouldn't we? (I know some people still do the latter, but you know what I mean…) x

One that's been getting on my nerves lately is "rando" for random person, i.e. "A bunch of randos just walked in and…etc etc etc"

As for the nerd/geek thing, I've been guilty of that myself – I occasionally describe myself as a "vintage nerd", but in my case, I actually am something of a nerd (I mean, I am a math major….) and I use it purely to distinguish myself from hipsters who overrun all the lovely vintage shops looking for funny 80s "vintage" to wear because it's "ironic" (another one that's really getting on my nerves, by the way).
