The word 'due' as in 'due to covid.' I hear it everywhere now, especially from young people. I want the word 'because' to make a comeback.

I'd be very happy to never hear a scandal described by having "gate" as a suffix.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't understand why is gate a suffix at all?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Please wait. Before the suffix -gate goes away for good I want a fence-related scandal that we can call gate-gate. Then it can be retired.

A very useful word, though.

I can't believe no one said skibidi

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

My knowledge of that "word" is the fact that it exists and that is all. There is nothing for me to unlearn.

I'll try, but I am not the smartest with lvl. 2 and 3.

Level 1: Sounding
Level 2: God
Level 3: Wrongdoing

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (3 children)
  1. ???? No replacement word
  2. Deity
  3. fault

Not sure what you're attempting there, trying to make it so his choices aren't useful?

Removing half the body by cleaving the left and right sides apart.

This ask reminds me of this Kids in the Hall sketch
