    No, were Giants fans. We hate the Jets as much as you do.

    Fair enough. Then my scorn is retracted.

    Edit-

    Who exactly are the Jets fan base at this point?

    It's probably just from reading too many characters who are supposed to be but aren't... feisty and kickass.

    I hate being told what a character is. Show me what they are and let me decide what to call it. One person's "badass" is another person's "arrogant hothead."

    God, I hate 'feisty' as a character description about as much as 'quirky'.

    What's 'bae' to you?

    In England it is a dialect word for boy. All the baes & maids went out to play.
    ...
    I am developing an aversion to cocks and shafts and inches. I tried to raise it in the sex thread but got my words wrong somehow. I want to read more 'like the cutest caterpillar it oozed on his thigh, then stood momentarily before collapsing into my vulva, it was probably dead. It was wonderful.' The web's awash with sex writes, I mean hypothetically, if you happened to click 'sex' on Wordpress, they're all shafts and cocks and just good 'ole wholesome sex all the time, everybody's always pleasured, and it makes the rigmarole of shafts worthwhile. There's so many proficient cock-writers on-line, in plague like gym-bunnies and their teeth, no offense.

    I don't want 'bad sex writing,' I want more 'bad sex,' and not only in my personal life, I love you darling, sex with you is wonderful like the tide from our window, the stars in the sky.

    Where I'm at right now, it's either short for babe, or an acronym for Before Anyone Else, which is kinda sweet. But on the reserve I used to live on growing up, it was an expression of disgust, like eww ot yuck, so I never really got behind it as an expression.

    To me it's short for 'Babe' used to refer to one's girlfriend/boyfriend/significant other, as in 'I'm going to see my bae' or 'Bae, I love you'. *Shudders

    My brother and I have been saying for a long time that it'll just be "B" next. "I love you, b." First baby, then babe, then bae - they're taking letters off as they go!

    "Kewl." "Fam." "Fren" or "frens." Any word spelled with a "z" where there should be an "s" (i.e., "eyez").

    My brother and I had an argument at the dinner table. What made my mother put her face in her hands, however, was not that, but my brother (jokingly) describing it as "cheeky bantz".

    Lately "erogenous" has been bothering me. I'm not sure why, I'm a big fan of everything it stands for, but I don't like looking at the word in print.

    "Pinky". Don't ask me why. I think it just sounds like baby-speak. What's wrong with "little finger"?

    This question reads very differently to a Game of Thrones/ASOIAF fan like me :D.

    The first time I got an FB message using "fam", I had to pop over to UrbanDictionary to find out what the hell they meant.

    Somewhat ironically, "pet peeve" is one of itself for me. I think it sounds really dumb.

    "Crush", in the "love interest" sense.

    All these newfangled pretend words (fam, cuz, bae etc.)

    "Poop". As verb, as noun, doesn't matter. Drives me up the wall every time.

    Damn, bruh, poop is one of my favorite words. It's simple, monosyllabic, a palindrome, juvenile (yet polite), hilarious in the right context, even funnier in the wrong context, you say it in front of grandma and Baby Joey, sounds the way it looks, looks the way it sounds... and it has an "oo," my favorite letter pairing!

    @Homer Potvin Solid arguments all, but they're not making a dent in my animosity. I think I have a problem with the juxtaposition of that cute a word describing that less-cute a thing.

    Poop can be cute. I pooped a heart for my wife on Valentine's Day. I even ate beets the night before to get the color right.

    I don't know who's weirdest: you for doing that, or me for thinking this is a legit romantic gesture.

    Another one just occurred to me: caramel. The correct pronunciation is the one I can't stand.
