    A most admirable past-time.

    Unless used very wittily, 'yore ma' basically means 'I've nothing better to say.' That's why it'll always live on in people's unimaginations.

    It does get quite annoying though when it's repeated all the time. it's occasionally funny, but for the most part it's just said when better insults or comments don't come to mind.

    It's just old.

    It can be used well with skill, but that doesn't seem to be the case, generally.

    'That's what she said' was worse for the most-part though. Especially when it was said in regards to Theo Phys.

    Oh Lizziam! That we do. But I'm not leaving the house until my LC is up, I think.

    Well put. And 'that's what she said' is more difficult to use well.

    When I said that it wasn't out of disappointment, I was just surprised.
    I feel the same way about it...

    Sigh, yes. I know there is innuendo to be found in a lot of things, but gravity and whatnot, are just NOT filthy.

    Friction maybe a little.

    But still!

    I wasn't attacking you or assuming that at all actually, I'm just bored to death of bland jokes. Now join the crusade against them with me!

    But gravity and breasts can be kind of insinuative............

    Yore ma is quite bad but nothing compares to "random". The word has been raped and pillaged.

    'Random' is used by everyone and usually in good context, so it's not all death.

    But 'The Game' deserves to be crucified. Just today, a good friend fron school who doesn't know anything about CTYI started telling me about it. It's infiltrating mainstream society! If it was bad with annoying little smart-kids using it it'll be even worse with annoying little everythings using it. How did this happen? It was God-awful that it ever came to be in the first place and it spreading was kind of ineveitable maybe, but does that not really freak anyone else out, that we're hearing the Game going around in full circle now?

    The fact that "random" is used by everyone makes it annoying as hear it the whole time.

    As for "The Game", its not a CTYI thing. Its just a stupid thing introduced by someone into CTYI. Thank God it was never in any session I was ever in.

    Cliodhna "The Game" has been round for a long long time, known by many. Wiki link Here. Someone stupidly introduced it to the majority of CTYI students, and taking to stupid memes like a duck takes to cocaine everyone started "playing" it Including the people who chose to do Game Theory for three weeks die die die oh God why won't you die?!

    Yeah the word "random" has indeed been raped and killed and its bloody battered corpse spat upon by all who use it. I frequently hear people in my year say things like "Oh my god you're so random!" (pronounced "rondom") If they wear, say, odd socks.

    Die die die.

    I've never heard it that badly used myself, but that sounds painful. I'm glad that the Game has been around, and that we're not just freaks who can't stop being influenced by it. And there's a fada on the 'i', Liz.

    Random is very used, and frequently incorrectly.

    And CTYI is ridiculously memetically active, there's practically no immune system.
