Chacmool Posted November 27, 2007 Report Posted November 27, 2007 :) Here's a suggestion: instead of just listing a word, give a definition and/or use the word in a sentence. That way we can add the word to everyone's vocabulary. Quote

Michaelangelica Posted December 1, 2007 Report Posted December 1, 2007 Thread for Great Words! Jerk - such a great word! When you say "that guys a Jerk" you know exctly what they mean, and its not a swear word. :cup: Kook - I love using this word. :D There are some kooky people out there. :evil: Any other great words to add to this little "database"?Is this whole thread based on a false premise?! :)(Do I have to put a :evil: or do you know me by now?)In Australia we talk about people "Jerking Off" (masturbating: eek2:).In Yiddish a jerk is a penis# putz : an idiot, a jerk; a penis (from Yiddish פּאָץ pots)and wiki saysWanker literally means" "one who wanks"(masturbates). It is normally intended as a general insult rather than as an accusation. It conveys contempt, not commentary on normal sexual habits. Wanker has similar meanings and overtones to American pejoratives like "jerk",[1] "jerk-off", and "prick". One particular connotation is of someone self-obsessed or a show-off (usually male).[2]So "its not a swear word" ?:phones::doh: Quote
