Oh man, this is going to give you a good idea of how nutso I can be.

The word "silly". I recently discovered I don't like it. I'm wondering why. To me, it just seems dismissive or condescending. Maybe I'm relating it to something specific or someone...I have no idea. If you've said this word to me recently, I apologize...I'm not trying to single anyone out and this isn't about you. I just noticed it because it's been said a lot lately.

Hmmm...could be because the only time I can really relate hearing it is when I was trying to be serious, or trying to get a point across and the other person says something like, "ohhh, you're just being silly."

Carry on...my wayward son...

I like the way your little penguin dances to the cool sounds of Kansas and flaps his wings like a madman next to that evil word besides him.

It would be cool if he had a wet noodle to slap "silly" upside the head with though. :)

Would that be 40 whacks with a wet noodle, Lizzie? :)

I totally agree -- it can be a really dismissive word. "You're just being silly," can crumple up an entire day on me. Sucks.

I find it endearing in the right moments, though -- for example, I say, "Silly boy," or "Silly girl," when other people might say, "Oh, you goof!" in a teasing-fond way.

"You're just being silly" to me sounds like something someone would say when they can't open up their mind enough to a great idea.

Like back in the day, when somebody said that the world *wasn't flat*....somebody said "Oh you're just being silly"

etc. etc.

It's a cop out.

But then again, I do think it's nice to actually be silly....like when it's late at night and you've been up for more than 24 hours. That's a different kind of silly....and is fun.

Absolutely. It can be endearing, but "silly" when serious is a no-no.

I'll just use Nutty McFoo instead.

I've taken to saying "ooktarded" lately, after a certain someone (http://www.livejournal.com/~motherevol). Heh.

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

>>I say, "I think I'm gonna ook" because of you.

Re: In my "ook" defense

[motherevol.livejournal.com]

This is SO not true. I have been saying the word "ook" for a number of years now. I say it in my day to day life because I am that cool.

Sorry, but I didn't get it from you baby blu.

It was inspired from a Ren and Stimpy episode: "I wanna be a monkey...a monkey, monkey, monkey,..." Remember that? I would always go "ook, ook, ook" throughout that cartoon, because once again I am that cool.

Now, I say "ook" when I stub my toe, or when wanting to insult a certain person with the word, "ooktarted".

YOU m'dear, use it to refer to stomach bile; which is something you completely coined. I will NOT take any of the credit for that expression, but I didn't get "ook" from LJ either.

OMG! I am so lame...

holy poop!

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

I concede to your greatness. :)

I just started saying "ook" instead of the regular vomity words because they are all pretty nas-tay. Your ook-history is far greater than mine.

Re: holy poop!

[motherevol.livejournal.com]

I may have a degree in the art of "ook" but your new hair cut is far prettier than mine.

You is one stone fox mama!
