Eliminating Words from the English Language →
We asked readers to propose a single English word that should be eliminated from the language. The nominations piled up, in the hundreds and then the thousands. People who like words, as it turns out, also hate words. Superfluous adverbs took a beating: people unloaded on “literally” and “actually.” One woman challenged anyone to think of a case in which a deleted “actually” changed the meaning...

Ugh, Game of Thrones
[[MORE]] Can we see someone, faced with the temptation of some sexy times, say “No thanks”? Male, female, I don’t care who. This whole damn show (and book series, I assume) is about getting power and arching an eyebrow while someone you don’t like gets bound and beheaded or some shit. So why is it that every mention or suggestion of sex turns an interesting character...

And you’ll obviously stop reading if you haven’t (illegally) accessed the latest Game of Thrones episode. [[MORE]] But BAHAHA when some cousin of Tyrion shows up with some scroll requesting something (forgive me; I paused it as soon as this thought occurred to me) I’ll be damned if that dude didn’t look exactly like the sister of that guy who used to rep for the Starks....

It’s just good to see things get shaken up a little, seeing some teams we haven’t seen in a few years or more. I don’t say any of this to excuse your being a...

When you think about it,
Okay, so “beware” came from “be aware”, or “be wary”, right? But what if we straight reverse-engineer it into a different thing? I’m thinking of the construction “shit be [adjective/present participle verb] right now”. You know, shit be crazy/cray, shit be exploding, shit be trillin’. Shit be trillin’? A badass boost to classical...
