"Utilize"
 

Does anyone actually really use this word? It always bugs me. "Use" is fine. Agh.

I'm bored.

managers and bosses use it. it makes them feel more... official. it's up there with "proactive."

People only use the word in speeches.

ahh, true. proactiv, though, is pretty awesome.

and porn.

"come over here big daddy, and let momma utilize your cock."

cleared me up :)

in our next hookup session i promise to use this.

that better be a promise :)

pinky swear.

works for me.

sweet.

how are you today?

People who say "utilize" instead of "use" are also the type of people who say "indicated" when they could say "said" and "overtake" when they could say "pass."

I feel your pain on this one, and I like words.

I'm ok I guess, long day at work, cause half of the people I work with took off to go to bloody warped tour, but it was ok. they kept calling me, trying to rub it in I wasn't with them, and I couldn't convince them I wouldn't go to warped tour if I had the day off and they bought my ticket for me... :)

Oh god, Warped. The folks asked me a few days ago if I'd rather go to that than Boston to see SY. I felt sort of homicidal at that moment.

I didn't wake up until three. I've done nothing.

Rub it in why don't ya. At least I got good sleep last night. The night before I only got 2 1/2 hours, cause my roommate and I were trying to figure out what the 4th dimension was. Don't ask :) So you are going to the Boston show? Too bad, I'll be at the show in Columbus...

I like words too, but never the unnecessary use of big words just to make yourself look sophisticated.

Haha.

Mom is trying to plan it out. I told her about the Columbus show, but it's too far.

I like to use big words.

:( :(
oh well, guess banging you during a Sonic Youth show will have to just stay on my wishlist...

there's always banging me in yr mind.

but I do that all the time... :) hehe

ahh, i see. we could make plans.

just name the place.

You know, if the police were to come across this board, they would get some very wrong ideas about our users. There's been beastiality threads, porno threads, everything.

woah woah woah, are you trying to tell me that beastiality is illegal? well fuck!

danny- haha. most of us would be in the slammer, definetly.

after- umm. anywhere is good with me.

you should log onto AIM :)

im me on my other screename. lt dorkus- little l, not big i.

Utilize the word!
FUCK

haha

I tried, it didn't work...

fuck yeah!

I was gonna write: FUCK THE WORD "utilize"
and then I was like
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

haha

schizo - try me, it's afterthefakt

I'm pretty sure that if you put Lt dorkus, it will still work. And save you the trouble of having to explain that every time.

yeah, my problem was that I thought she was still saying the letter "i"... nevermind, I'm too drunk to explain what I was thinking... :)

you guys could *utilize* some care and do not talk about those things when i'm not logged in.........i feel left outside alone :( :( :(
schizo and after,i hate you.

we were obviously including you in our thoughts, I mean, you don't break up a 3 way before it ever happens!

It never ceases to amaze me how many supposedly intelligent and well-educated professional people "utilize" this word. Even people in my profession, other editors and writers, who should know better. Personally, it's like nails on chalkboard to my ears. And I have made a vow never to use "utilize." Never, ever.
