ivory is 10000 percent RIGHT! taking the LORD'S name lightly or in vain is much worse than a curse word.  HOWEVER- you are verbally bankrupt if all you can say is the f or other crude or obscene words. i know, it has been a problem for me in the past. it shows others a lack of culture and class. i couldn't conceive of God cheering for us when we use foul language. there are a million words that can convey your feelings or point, but the movies and the songs jump right past a-e to the letter f.  see ivory sweetness? i even used gay the other day! i hear the stinking thing 10 times per hour from stevie and his buddies! it drives me batty!  |

I used to have a big problem with a potty mouth....I've worked on it so hard and it's not easy once you get into the habit. Anna keeps me on my toes....I can't even say the word "crap" around her or she loses it. I tell her, "I have no words left to say. Please don't take that one from me." As far as taking the Lord's name in vain, I do find myself saying "Dear Lord" or "Lord Almighty." (More in amazement than swearing...if that makes sense. Kind of like your Grandma would say it. ) It's mostly driving that gets me into trouble... ;D Peach |

>:(Adding extra ed's Light Skin.....Light Skinded Two Faced......Two Faceded Saying words completely wrong Boiled....Balled Tired.....Tord There is a girl that works with me at Bojangles' and she can not say Pepsi. This burns me up because down south, at least where I work, white people already assume black people can't talk or count. We have to use microphones to call out orders, and it never fails, as soon as I think it's almost time to go, I hear her big mouth say LORGE PETSI!! How the heck can you mistake LARGE PEPSI for LORGE PETSI! It's a hot mess!!! Then all the old white ladies that come up to the front speak extra slow to the rest of the black girls in the restaurant just because girlfriend can't talk! All you people that aren't from the south come to North Carolina for a week and words like quickness and extra s's will seem like perfect English. Ivory or Peach, which ever one said it, I hate irregardless too!! too!! |

I'm guilty of using the word "Basically".
Made-up words like "I've got the dropsies today" when someone keeps dropping things get on my nerves big time.

" Tear-staineDED letter... tear-staineded letter now..." :laughing: I heard my mother say yesterday, I believe for the first time in my life, "Know what I'm saying?" I said, "Know what you're saying?" She laughed a little bit and said that she'd been around a certain coworker too long, and that the girl was always saying that. My ma said, one time I told her, no I don't know what you're saying. Nothing gets on my nerves worse than people in the public eye who can't talk (i.e. entertainers, athletes, etc.) A girl practically jumped down my throat the other day because I said Kelly Clarkson needed to learn how to talk. I can't stand too many "ums" in one sentence. |

Those aren't "wacky" names. At least, they aren't anymore. And I believe that's why people think they're being unique when they give their children names it takes years to learn to spell, because their last names are so normal.
You want to know wacky? I know a girl who named her daughter Precaution. I know two more girls named Fashionette and Shonqunettee. And--I hate to say it--my niece has a funky name, too. My ma says, "People don't seem to realize--children have to grow up with these names."

i agree with you whole heartedly southern niece! especially since you read what the most popular baby names are- in fact 8 of 10 names for boys in 2002 were from the bible- david, joshua, daniel, matthew,etc.
girls were emily and brianna,etc. so if there are a million joshuas, then we need an occasional anfernee and
my kids have a friend named shikendrea.

Another funky name: I forgot about JaiQuanna. I met her this summer. (shaking my head) I've seen names that had letters sitting next to each other that didn't make normal sounds. That alone should shout a big "NO!" to the parents. I saw a birth announcement once that said something like, Zxyiera Xonquie, and I felt bad for that child. Any name beginning in Sha or La should be outlawed, lol. And I'm tired of the apostrophes in the names, too. Two of my niece's three names have apostrophes.  I'm glad only the first name and the first middle name (if you have more than one), show up on the Social Security card, because that baby girl does not need to be shamed like her mother tried so hard to do. :laughing: |
