I’m sorry
I was wrong
- “Thank you”
- “My bad”
- “I am not familiar with the subject so I have no opinion on it”
On point number 3, I once got dunked on for saying that I didn’t know anything about the subject at hand when asked. The other person told me “Well, that’s just a cop out. Just make something up!”
edit: clarification
I was wrong.
Too much to ask, pure fantasy
Everybody wants to hear that, nobody wants to say it.
“Wow isn’t life great since we went to the 3 day working week!”
I petition to bring back regular use of Kerfuffle.
I’ll sign that petition no doubt
Same for dust-up.
Verisimilitude. It’s just nice.
It’s a good word! How would you use it in a sentence?
Poorly! As I’m currently high and do not feel confident using it correctly!
Looks cool though!
The general meaning is the appearance of truth or validity.
But I usually use it to describe something that is “believable” even if the underlying premise is not. So a fantasy story that pays close attention to detail and is highly consistent might be described as having versimilitude. On the other hand, a story where the characters make out-of-character choices might be lacking versimilitude, even if there are no overtly “fictional” elements to the story.
That’s usually how I’ve heard it used, not sure if it’s the “main” usage though.
I’m less high now!
I normally use it when talking about miniatures and toy train setups.
“The miniature painted conifers with bits of snow really have the scene verisimilitude”
I could still be very wrong.
“I was wrong”
I love being wrong, it’s the gateway to new knowledge, but other people view not knowing through a self-esteem lens
Good forenoon to you!
Also, I’m totally down with referring to the days of the Week by their etymological roots. Happy Day of Thor to you!
Ooooh I’m 100% behind using the etymological roots. Good call!
May tomorrow you have an excellent Day of Venus.
Why thank you 😊
Call it cheesy, but people need to tell each other “I love you” more often.
Funny, I was gonna say “cheesy”, but I mean “cheesy” literally, because I’m hungry
“Hi nice to meet you I’m your soulmate and future wife and I’m going to fix you and we’ll help fix the world together”
(i mean if someone said that exact phrase to me I’d probably run screaming lol. But you know.)
I love you. :'(
“I don’t know.”
If we were honest, it’s the thing we should all be saying and hearing all day long. But it’s not. Quite the opposite, it’s among the rarest. Instead, people are shooting their certainties at one another, relentlessly.
Not knowing something or not having an opinion on a question is not an issue. It’s to be expected, even if we were all geniuses (I’m certainly not one). Not doing the work to inform oneself could potentially be an issue but should not be as long we don’t pretend otherwise. It’s when one pretends to know, based on what one has heard someone else say, or because one wants to push a specific narrative that suits them, that shit starts hitting the fan. That’s when living together turn into the stinking shit hole it has turned into in which lies are fine (when they’re not adored) and facts have become suspicious if not dangerous.
Obviously, I don’t know what I’m talking about.
I’ve always been partial to there- and where-compounds (thereupon, therefrom, wherein, etc.).
Gadzooks. It’s just such a fun phrase.
I love it! I’m also pretty fond of words like shenanigans and hijinks.
Ooooh those are good ones
