I don't mind the slang but I hate the alphabets, especially when it refers to technology. Most of the time when I look up something technical online, I have spend much more time trying to figure out what the alphabetic terms are referring to. I find this funny ... ironic. I don't direct this at you, just .. triggers a comment. I work in an I.T. shop. We provide service for a couple dozen different business units each having their own unique set of acronyms often with overlap .. same letters meaning different things. Our "users" bitch a lot about I.T. using acronyms. True enough, but we are one department with one set. The same overall group of people who whine about having to learn part of our set think NOTHING of expecting us to learn their dozen to two dozen sets of acronyms and know which to use in which setting. Also we're supposed to somehow know how to do everyone's job better than they know it by doing it every day for decades so we can remind them when they forget. Argh. "I.T. is tired of hearing it."
Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip.

Anyone who uses terms like shotty, maggy, winny, remmy, and such, or calls ammunition "bullets" is granted moron status.

Not a major point in life, but I have to admit, when someone says "taters" I cringe just a bit. Canadian chicken chain we have here called Mary Brown's(pretty good chicken too) has 'taters on the menu. They always ask "fries or 'taters"" and I usually answer back potatoes. One time I said 'taters, and I swear I could barely utter the word, and then I felt like a damn retard. More than usual, I mean. Do they have spuds? That's mostly all we had growing up. Peeled spuds, baked spuds, fried spuds, but, potatoes, they're mashed. Loggers had some slang that has stayed with me. In college I said jigger-rig, as I was tought as appropriate in such settings, the polite way. Another insisted its Jerry-rig. Dumbest damned thing I ever heard. Guess they hadn't ever heard niigger-rig. Who the hell is Jerry? Jury-rigged means something was assembled quickly with the materials on hand. Jerry-built means it was cheaply or poorly built. Jerry-rigged is a variant of jury-rigged, and it may have been influenced by jerry-built. While some people consider it to be an incorrect version of jury-rigged, it’s widely used, especially in everyday speech. What does jury-rigged mean? The word jury has a few different meanings. It can be a group of people that decides the verdict in a legal case or a group of people who judge a contest. Via French, this jury goes back to a Latin verb meaning “to swear (an oath),” also seen in words like perjury. But, in the nautical world, jury means “makeshift” or “temporary.” The origin of this jury isn’t exactly known. The word rig is also a nautical term. As a verb, it means “to fit a ship or mast with the necessary elements (such as shrouds and sails).” More generally, it means “to assemble.” Together, these words become jury-rigged by the late 18th century. A jury-rig, as a noun, is a temporary solution that’s built to replace something that’s been broken or lost overboard. The word can also be used as a verb. For example: “She jury-rigged a new topmast after hers broke in the wind.” Although this expression is rooted in the nautical world, it can refer to any makeshift, MacGyver-like fix: “He jury-rigged a raincoat from garbage bag in the garage.” https://www.dictionary.com/e/jury-rigged-vs-jerry-rigged/Afro Engineering AKA: N i g g e r Rigged Either can be used as a compliment in the way of you thought up something that will work well with what you had. Or as a WTF way as in that schitt aint gonna work. WTF are you thinking type of way. Down here in the dirty south... 😄😄😄😄😄 Used to tell Dad he had a PHD in Afro-Engineering.

I can’t help thinking but y’all do realize that pussy is slang for booger, and for snatch, and for muff, and for furburger, and for hairy clam, and for tang ( and a whole subset of slang words on that one), and for hair pie and for thousands of other slang words FOR OUR FAVORITE SLANG WORD!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I long for the day that "quim" comes back into style.
