Its not really a fake word, but the term is stupid, but I don't like to hear people say "I have ____. Its self diagnosed".


WTF man? How can you say you have something them have no type of medical background and say "its self diagnosed"? Just say "I think I have _____".

When I was at LSU I had a friend who insisted a group of letters was not a "word" until it was officially approved by The Usage Panel & included in the dictionary

Reagan often said "Nukeyaler", which may have been a calculated attempt to sound folksy, like "Gubment"

Not a single word, but when i hear someone say, “my brain wasn’t braining” or “that math ain’t mathing” i want to stick ice picks in my ears.

People that use this word probably go through a “real-a-tor” to buy a home.

I second that. It is a very pointed and direct word describing a certain type of behavior.

This and "choice" are the most obvious examples of the left changing the meaning of words for political purposes
