The Ultimate Stupid Word
Boo.
No, not like Casper the friendly ghost "boo." The ebonics term for boyfriend "boo." What the crap does that mean? Do people really think they sound cool talking like that? And I think that the only people who actually use "boo" in that context are performers, and the frequency of its usage is reaching epidemic proportions. I never thought that I would dislike any word more than using "crush" to describe someone you like (i.e. "Oh my gosh, Philicia, what did your chrush say to you now?" and "You are so crushing on her."), but "boo" is just plain stupid.
Also, whats up with using "menstrual" all of a sudden to describe an attitude? Like in the commercial where, following one girls confession that she wants a brownie, her friend says "Oh yeah. She's menstrual." Are the people who run the networks trying to lose their entire male viewing base by showing these commercials? Stupid people.

i don't think "menstrual" in that context was meant to describe an attitude, i think it was more like "oh yeah, she's menstrauting, which means she craves chocolate, because that's what happens to girls once every 28 days or so."
Obviously "menstrual" refers to the period of menstruation that occurs in developed females, but the context of the commercial makes it sound like more of a mindset than a hormonal thing. It still bugs me.
it pretty much is a mindset.
"i have my period, thus i am crabby."
all I know is that when commercials that involve feminine hygene products come on, or any other drug or medicine that deals with subjucts that usually are not reserved for conversation, I get uncomfortable. "Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now. Where will you be?"
