Love is the beauty of the soul. - St. Augustine

The Urban dictionary - a great way to conversate.

Posted by v on April 10, 2008

I love reading and also love word creativity. As a matter of fact, I know someone who is really really good at it. She makes up new words for things she can’t remember. This led us to discussing words that truly have made their way into the language. Words that are so completely wrong but so right irregardless of what you think , which happens to be todays word of the day.

Def: Without lack of disregard.
Joey: Irregardless, she’s a batch.
Beth: Irregardless isn’t even a word.
Joey: Yes, it is. It means without lack of disregard.

Check out the Urban Dictionary -the words are in there. If its in there, its a real word. Is it??

Also, we must remember to touchbase : To make contact; to cover all the possibilities. Comes from baseball where the runners need to touch the base to make a run legal. Mostly used by asshat salesmen and contractors when they want to talk to you over the phone to see if you’re interested in something they have for sale, usually around dinner time.

“I’m just calling to Touch Base to see if you need our crappy product/service.”
“No, Leave me alone.”

Anyway, if you would like to conversate : to talk, discuss or converse
- Ebonics version of the intransitive verb “converse”; urban hybrid of the two words “converse” and “conversation”

Conversate for a few, cause in a few, we gon’ do
What we came to do, ain’t that right boo (truuuueee)

WORD OUT!!! … to exit a conversation, opposite to Word Up. Peace out y’all.
