Words it is NOT ok to ever say

Posted on February 27, 2009 by jmcmurry

I have my own not-yet-catalogued list of “Words it is NOT ok to ever say.”

The first one that springs to mind immediately: “proggie” (meaning “software program”.)

I’m lucky enough to be old and cranky enough not to hang out with them young whippersnappers who no doubt use this word all the time, but I swear it makes me want to spit nails.
