You mean the usual obvious 1,000 posts of the blindingly obvious "meh" and "yore ma's meh" and "yore meh"?

This is terrible, 'meh' is more a noise than a word.

Next we'll have 'noob' and 'yore ma' being used in political debates...

Obama: You are the same as Bush who was a meh president.
McCain: Yeah well you are a noob at being a politician and i was a pro in the war.

Personally, I wish BJs were far more common ...

Seriously, a living language is always evolving. Many of the words we consider good "standard" English now were slang in their time.

I think we should revert back to medieval language, like , ''Thou art a rapscallion and a fiend''.

Or for AH-

"Your mother."

I'd like to send this letter to the Prussian consulate in Siam by aeromail. Am I too late for the 4:30 autogyro?
