Seriously this just hit me right now, it's completely random and funny 'game' we could keep going. I was just thinking how many words are just hilarious or disgusting and should be changed... I'll go first, the word "dildo" ... it's suppose to be something sexual and serious but honestly it makes me think of a clown in a circus, vibrator sounds better but if it doesn't vibrate that could get confusing.. Any other words that seem odd/funny to you? HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO POINT IT OUT AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
Why does suffrage sound so much like something you don't want. From now on, we should call it "voterage".
complacent means "pleased, esp. with oneself or one's merits, advantages, situation, etc., often without awareness of some potential danger or defect" The way the word sounds, though, my mind immediately makes me think "displeased, inclined to complain." I move to vote the word complacent out of the english language to avoid confusion
LIBRARY: a room, building, or institution where a collection of books or other research materials is kept. However, whenever I think of a library, I think about a store which sells books (a bookstore). This is most likely because in Spanish (my mother tongue) libreria = bookstore. (biblioteca = library)
hehe, I like it. Phil. lol I think that the word foot to describe a measurement should be eliminated, and we should either use the metric system or find a better word, although I can't think of one offhand.
Flammable and inflammable mean exactly the same thing and is the source of endless confusion. Therefore i vote that inflammable me eliminated as it is entierly superfluous
Metastasis should be pronounce met-uh-stay-sus instead of the increibly awkward meh-tass-stuh-sis. Also: The bad name for a cheese-grater is sponge-ruiner.
