Just off phone with SBA about papers they have sent me. Round file.
Anyone know the big word for when someone confuses the issue w/bs, talk or paper work?
Think the word I'm thinking starts with of?????
That word also fits for the staff meeting I just had! :neutral:
Thanks barefoot. Redneck me forgot about the "B" not that it gets used alot around here, but should at coffee shop. Along with non sequitur. :smack:
that'll be $50...
or is that a $100 word? ;)
Here we call that a 2 bit word. Never use a big word when a small one will suffice. Groan
I believe the word is "management".
Just don't use "proactive", ever, for anything.

Don't use acne medication.
Got it.
It is [SIZE="6"]not [/SIZE]a word.
I like this aisle. It's empty.
Is this a cromulent use of this thread?
I think so. Does it mean 'ironical?' Is ironical really a word, and if so, why?
fartriloquism
It means "talking out of your ass".
words I believe I have coined:
Bastardly. ... very. Use: it's bastardly hot out today.
Fuckery: institutionalized trick played by a company in order to fuck you out of something.
Use: "What new fuckery is this?" As you read the itemization on your cable bill.
Somebody will argue that I did not Invent fuckery. I only have jinx as a witness to how long I've been saying it, and I doubt she will back me up, so. ....
Not heard fuckery before.
Fuck-uppery I'm familiar with.
Fuckery sounds Shakespearean, nice coinage.

Coinage? The man was a mint!
On Quoting Shakespeare
If you cannot understand my argument, and declare ``It's Greek to me'', you are quoting Shakespeare; if you claim to be more sinned against than sinning, you are quoting Shakespeare; if you recall your salad days, you are quoting Shakespeare; if you act more in sorrow than in anger; if your wish is farther to the thought; if your lost property has vanished into thin air, you are quoting Shakespeare.
If you have ever refused to budge an inch or suffered from green-eyed jealousy, if you have played fast and loose, if you have been tongue-tied, a tower of strength, hoodwinked or in a pickle, if you have knitted your brows, made a virtue of necessity, insisted on fair play, slept not one wink, stood on ceremony, danced attendance (on your lord and master), laughed yourself into stitches, had short shrift, cold comfort or too much of a good thing, if you have seen better days or lived in a fool's paradise -why, be that as it may, the more fool you , for it is a foregone conclusion that you are (as good luck would have it) quoting Shakespeare.
If you think it is early days and clear out bag and baggage, if you think it is high time and that that is the long and short of it, if you believe that the game is up and that truth will out even if it involves your own flesh and blood, if you lie low till the crack of doom because you suspect foul play, if you have your teeth set on edge (at one fell swoop) without rhyme or reason, then - to give the devil his due - if the truth were known (for surely you have a tongue in your head) you are quoting Shakespeare.
Even if you bid me good riddance and send me packing, if you wish I was dead as a door-nail, if you think I am an eyesore, a laughing stock, the devil incarnate, a stony-hearted villain, bloody-minded or a blinking idiot, then - by Jove! O Lord! Tut tut! For goodness' sake! What the dickens! But me no buts! - it is all one to me, for you are quoting Shakespeare.

Some of that he will have invented, but some will have been in common parlance but not yet written down.

Bastardly. ... very. Use: it's bastardly hot out today.
Sorry, my grandfather beat you to that one, and I think he picked it up from someone older.

Yeah dictionary says it's attested as far back as the 14th century.
Now, see, I approached this thread with trepidation.
Here, I need a word" is a barely disguised euphemsim for "You screwed up, big-time."
I was pleased to read that you really did need a word, even if I missed the original thread.

Well that's bastardly surprising to me.
Lol. My Android phone predicted the word Bastardly.
