{Girl Talk Thursday is a fun meme-y type thing. Click above for more.}
I’m certain I’ve talked about my pet peeves here before, but it’s always fun to talk about them ad nauseum.
•”Pet” anything — even the term “pet peeves” kinda peeves me. “Pet project,” “pet rock,” “pretty pet” and more all get the GAG from me.
•Calling Women’s underwear “panties.” Etymologically, an -ies ending connotes a diminutive quality to the subject. This means that OUR underwear are little pants. Call this feminism to the extreme, but you won’t catch me calling anything I wear “PANTIES.”
•People who complain about twitter-pimping and how they OMG are SO all about the writing, and then continue to pimp themselves and their blogs multiple times a day. Sorry, I just hit UNFOLLOW.
•Confusion of “their,” “there,” and “they’re.” And other spelling and grammar atrocities. (I, however, am not bothered by beginning a sentence with “And” apparently.)
•Children out in the world with dirty faces. I get that maybe you don’t want a screaming fit or whatever, but you won’t see my kid out with a dirty face. Unless he’s with his Dad. Heh.
Well, I’m fresh out. Visit today’s Girl Talk Thursday post for a funny set of peeves. I laughed. Snort.

Ugh, I hate the word panties. Not for any feminista reasons, just because the word is icky to me. I usually go with undies or chonies.

Panties is the grossest word known to man. It makes a grown woman’s underpants sound like something a child should wear, but ALSO makes a little girl’s underpants sound somehow naughty. Ergo, GROSS.

the word panties is gross. also, connected to children with dirty faces, children with dirty/sagging diapers. People, change your kid’s diaper. They’re walking around with a pile of shit next to their delicate baby skin. Save them!

Egads .. I think I’m in trouble. Dirty kids’ faces? Yup. Use the word panties? Yup. (in fact, I get all snickery when my daughter calls her father’s underwear ‘panties’ *snort*). However, with you on the grammar FAIL, I don’t twitter-pimp (at least not in the way you reference. heh.)
I think that means I get a C-. Sound about right?

I can’t stand saying the word “panties”, so they are just referred to as underwear or underoos, of if I’m feeling nice and Canadian, gotch.

Chonies is the best.
Where the hell is your Vlog? I saw it in my reader but then lost it trying to say BANANAS!
Sorry I was a goat ass and forgot you yesterday.
We can video chat and have coffee if you want.

I’ll admit to telling my 2 year old to keep her panties on. (multiple times a day).
And blog pimping – how much is too much? I give a little DesignHER Momma shout out when i post the new writing, but just once. The people wanna know! (or do they?)

Once is perfectly acceptable. I’d say up to 3 times in a 36 hour period is even fine. Hell, pimp it every 6 hours if you’re actually tweeting about other stuff in between.
But don’t tweet about how “oh woe is me; I’m such a small blogger” blah blah blah “I can’t believe how much people shill” and then pimp your posts repeatedly as well.

This is fantastic!
Also, I’m going to take this opportunity to PIMP OUT my post about your vs you’re: http://julesvsnuts.blogspot.com/2009/11/grammar-lesson.html
I’ll be tweeting you about it later. And then sending an email. And standing outside your bedroom window with a sign.

OMG. You just cracked me the hell up with the pimping thing. If somebody tweets their own post three times in ten minutes? I get the urge to start punching things. Drives. me. nuts! I need to just start unfollowing for it, but you know how THAT drama goes. :-/
