Words That Should Not Exist

1.) Luncheon - Can't we just agree to call it lunch? Honestly!
2.) Holistic - This is just going way too far. At best it should be 'wholistic'. AT BEST!!
3.) Brunch - Just pick one or the other already.

This is a work in progress. These were just the first three that immediately irritated me...Stay tuned.

"a pretty funny scenario for a sitcom would be this guy who was going to write a letter, so he tells his dog to go get him a pen. but the dog comes back with a pencil and the guy gets mad and scolds the dog for not knowing the difference between a pen and a pencil. then the guy starts writing his letter and you know what happens? he makes a mistake and erases it. just then he looks over at the dog and the dog looks up at him and then they both start cracking up."
-al Cracker

deep inventions: the automated computer - it's like a regular computer, but all of the computations are to be made at will by the simple press of a button. or sometimes, for some computations, a few buttons.
