"He's a boxer" "I love watching Boxer" I can't imagine any instance of me mixing these three words up. Also, the other two kinds of Flash are both verbs making these really... wrong. | ||

I'm not against evolution of language... far from it. But I think this is devolution of language. Some words are getting less and less specific, so that they become so general you can't convey your point as efficiently to a modern audience. For someone like me who likes simple, common words, that presents a real challenge in communication (especially writing). I don't want to use obscure words you have to look up... because that will also reduce the efficiency of communication... So it's just all around lose-lose... Anyway, sorry to get serious in a playful thread, but it's something that irks me and I had to say it lol. | ||

It's become a buzz word that's completely synonymous with massive/great and it means every time I use it in its original—perhaps now archaic—meaning, I have to go out of my way to say so (which ruins the efficiency of language).

The words 'epic,' 'legendary,' 'fail' and 'win' are those that have become transmuted into shadows of themselves. | ||

But yeah... a picture of a korean will always come to mind when I hear those words. fantasy, BoxeR, Mind, Flash, EffOrt...honestly, there is just too many to name. Even when I hear about go-go dancers, I'm going to think about go.go before I think about hot chicks. | ||
