Here's how it is, spoken by Malcolm Reynolds.

Hot diggity dog, let's strike while the iron is hot and get on the ball while it's rolling with some old tyme phrases.

"I was wrong"

I love being wrong, it's the gateway to new knowledge, but other people view not knowing through a self-esteem lens

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I love you. :'(

My son has you covered. He calls me a "moisty boi" something like 100 times a day. I'm still not sure why other than it being some kind of dis.

Hysteresis

Knowing the word would ideally be due to people knowing the meaning of it, which most people can't grasp. Especially important for most political actions, such as tariffs and climate change.

"Hi nice to meet you I'm your soulmate and future wife and I'm going to fix you and we'll help fix the world together"

(i mean if someone said that exact phrase to me I'd probably run screaming lol. But you know.)

not hear, but read…see?: aluminium, your is possessive and you’re is you are (IT’S NOT THAT HARD IF YOU ARE FLUENT IN ENGLISH), it’s vs its (NOT THAT HARD EITHER FOR NATIVE SPEAKERS)

"Bosom". Religious nuts shouldn't have a monopoly on the word. Also, it makes me chuckle every time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

What WAS that song???

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

It's like the wholesome counterpart to "boob." Both kinda sound like what they describe, but "bosom" feels classy.

Everybody wants to hear that, nobody wants to say it.

Too much to ask, pure fantasy

"proselytize"

Only came across the word recently.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I petition to bring back regular use of Kerfuffle.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Same for dust-up.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I'll sign that petition no doubt

Not a particular phrase, but I'd like if people asked more questions, even if they sound like stupid questions, than to assume the answer.

"Wow isn't life great since we went to the 3 day working week!"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I've always been partial to there- and where-compounds (thereupon, therefrom, wherein, etc.).

  1. "Thank you"
  2. "My bad"
  3. "I am not familiar with the subject so I have no opinion on it"
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

On point number 3, I once got dunked on for saying that I didn't know anything about the subject at hand when asked. The other person told me "Well, that's just a cop out. Just make something up!"

edit: clarification
