Funny stuff. I never thought about any of these words being taken so literal.

From the actions of the majority of these characters, I have often wondered if this might not be so.

There's a local gas station that puts alot of these things on thier billboard. One I always liked from back when Tupperware came from a party, it didn't just pertain to all plastic storage containers. Remember the containers called square rounds. Some of the ways words have been changed over the years drives me crazy. The worst one and its on most crafting channels is the word either, they'll say we are going to sew up either side and then sew up both of them. I was brought up and taught in school either meant one or the other not both. I love all the ones listed here today. Yooper32, I feel the same way, I guess its the WV in us, my home state.

Free Gift is the one that bothers me the most. I have never had to pay for a gift.
