SAMMICHES ARE SERIOUS BUSINESS

Feb 24, 2007 00:40

coflower doesn't seem to like the word "sammiches". It's a perfectly cromulent word, but it seems to send her off into fits of anger-ridden comments.

Not once, but twice! In food_porn, a poor hapless poster happens to use the word "sammiches" in a post. Eagerly awaiting an opportunity to malign Rachael Ray, our dear coflower jumps in the fray ( Read more... )

I totally HATE THAT FAKE WORD

I can understand why you hate it (I'm the same with "guesstimate", god, I hate that fucking word), but it's really just about as "fake" as any other word. "Sammich" isn't lexically empty -- it has a mutually-understood meaning, usage rules, etc., just like its more well-established cousins. Consider that quite a few of the words we use today are slurred/abbreviated versions of older words, like fancy (from fantasy) and hussy (from huswif (housewife)).

Number one, I love etymology. :)))
Number two: Holy jesus fuck, do I hate "guesstimate". Why...why did they come up with it? An estimate is an educated guess. It's so fucking redundant to mash the two together and strikes me as a dumbing down of the word.

I know this is the oldest of old posts, but I'm just so delighted to find other people who hate "guesstimate". It is the worst approximation of a word ever.

I've seen that baby-talk rage emerge 84664947982347 times at domestic_snark. One more thing to add to the list of things that irrationally annoy people and cost you very little.

Damn straight.

"Today, I think I shall see how many nerves I can step on. I'm going to say sammich and tummy all day!"

This entry made me hungry for a sammich.

michelletimshel February 24 2007, 06:04:13 UTC

Me too! I am so going make a delicious turkey sammich right now.

zombieroadtrip February 24 2007, 06:06:04 UTC

Turkey is my second favorite sammich, after bologna.

michelletimshel February 24 2007, 06:10:22 UTC

My favorite is a BLT without the T. Heh.
