On a single day, I read articles where I was described as being alternately 'lanky,' 'pudgy,' 'doughy,' 'balding,' 'utterly forgettable,' and 'constantly irritating.'

Slang is a language that rolls up its sleeves, spits on its hands and goes to work.

I write in American slang.

I like crisp words like 'blimey', 'yikes', 'crap' which describe consternation, embarrassment, and sometimes wonderment without making me type so many alphabets.

You know, funny is this weird word for me. I hear is so many times it has no meaning anymore.

Crankiness is at the essence of all comedy. My wife and I were discussing the different types of cranky. There's entertaining cranky, annoying cranky, angry cranky.

I know what it's like to be growing up, called 'deaf and mute' and 'deaf and dumb.' They're words that are very degrading and demeaning to people who are deaf and hard of hearing. It's almost... it's almost libelous, if you want to say that.

I think we've probably all read a word that we've never heard pronounced out loud, and we try it out in a sentence and fall on our face.

I have always loved the fluidity of language - delighting in dialects, dictionaries, slang and neologisms.

I'll call somebody 'dumb' or 'stupid' if they make a dumb or stupid play. I don't know any other word for it, and if they don't like the word, that's too bad.
