It irks me when people write "hum" instead of "umm" or "hmm"



it just doesn't make sense to me




This makes sense : "Hmm let me see, what should I do?"

OR

"Um, I'm not sure."




Or even "Hmm... um, uh.. I don't know?"




But.. "Hum, i'm not sure".



OR



"Hum, i'll have to ask my mommy."


What the heck is that? Why are you humming? This makes no sense whatsoever, and should be abolished forever.

yeah,, that is annoying
but orange juice out of a glass instead of a foam cup is makes life better

whoknows whoknowsOG 2003 ·

Oh goodness, you're so right, drinking OJ out of a FOAM CUP is one of the worst things you could do in your life.

punkprincess punkprincessOG 2001 ·

anything out of foam sucks

whoknows whoknowsOG 2003 ·

Yeah especially when it leaves those tiny little white straggler dots of foam on your lips

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 ·

yea i'm not a fan of the LOL... either. i mean.. once in awhile .. but i prefer the HAHA.. it's more natural than the LOL... matter of fact i'm not a fan of CHAT ABBREVIATIONS at all. i'd rather soak myself in butter and then eat myself then use or read abbreviations.

reaf reafOG 2002 ·

See i like LOL,, but i also like Ha Ha,, but im not a big fan of He He,, its like you desperatly wanna make love to a school boy type saying...

whoknows whoknowsOG 2003 ·

I'm a fan of the "heh". Not a fan of the BRB or ROFL and that stuff, i always end up typing it out, heh

whoknows whoknowsOG 2003 ·

I'm also a fan of the "BAH!" especially when it's in a sentence like "bah i fell asleep and drooled all over the keyboard"

reaf reafOG 2002 ·

yeah i completely hate the ROFL,, with a capitol S.......
Bah is great it fills in so many spaces, it says so much!

tesoro tesoroOG 2001 ·

ugh! i hate ROFL too....it looks like "ralph" to me....which reminds me of ralphing...which is throwing up....so basically...i said something funny, and you're throwing up....i have an interesting perspective...no?

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 ·

i hate it when people define words that are fathomable, meaning easy to know

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003 ·

HAH! I hate when people say i'm patronizing. Now for those of you who don't know what patronizing is, it's treating people like they are stupid.

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 ·

i hate it when people try to sound original, when they are really just repeating themselves!!!

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003 · ok4now

i was furthering the joke.....

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 · hunkpapap

oh, i get it...and by get it i mean throwing up

reaf reafOG 2002 ·

hah, yeah it reminds me of RALPH to,, but just the name not all that jazz

beachbum beachbumOG 2002 ·

haha-i thought the same thing when i first saw that abbreveation-i had to have jenn explain it to me.

beachbum beachbumOG 2002 ·

i think you would want to do that no matter what

punkprincess punkprincessOG 2001 ·

i like haha when things are funny, but sometimes the use of ROFL is needed, but you neeeeeed to be littereally rolling on the floor laughing.

crazygirlOG 2001 ·

haha, you know what really funny.. Im not totally down with the keyboard lingo so when i saw ROFL it didnt click and i looked at it i thought it was like a grawl. Like ruff. haha

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ·

going to put contact drops in your eyes and getting a whoosh of air instead

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003 ·

I hate going to put contact drops in your eyes and instead hitting your nose, then your forehead, then your other eye, then moving it so close that you poke yourself in the eye and then coming out finally and someone asks if you were crying.....

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ·

my skin is allergic to all contact drops so if i get a little drizzle on my cheek it looks like i was scratched

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 ·

it bugs me when people say 'i am honing in on the answer' instead of 'i am homing in on the answer'...or is it the other way around? i hate that!

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 ·

you don't even know which is correct! i don't like when people say "flammable" when they really mean "inflammable". sooo annoying.

deanh77 deanh77Founder ·

hahaha. this is so funny!
dude. they mean the same thing.
which reminds me of an irk of mine: people who incorrectly correct people.

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 ·

that's not true...unless it is

deanh77 deanh77Founder ·

go get a dictionary. its a common mistake. they both mean "easily ignitable".

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 ·

phfew...right over your head. here's your head, down here...and there goes the joke, up there: right...over...your...head

deanh77 deanh77Founder ·

sorry, I'm sick. and very very tired. and you're sense of humor is hard to decipher.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 ·

deanh77 deanh77Founder ·

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 ·

ekulu ekuluOG 2002 ·

punkprincess punkprincessOG 2001 ·
