My wife asking me, "REMEMBER?" I can't remember everything that she tells me (and she tells me a lot on a daily basis) then quizzes me later to see if I remember.

​"Remember what I told you?" *cackles evilly and runs with mailmandan chasing me* :p

Gazillion is actually a great word.

It means, "a number so big I'm too confused to even look up what it's really called."

Flexible...my current least favourite word. My Dad's from Greece so English isn't his first language. So whenever he hears a word he likes he'll start to over use it. So now every time he lectures me, he uses it. That's one word that makes me cringe and grit my teeth.

Freemium. This is one I have seen used a lot in conjunction with games that are 'free to play' but you have to pay if you want the premium content.

Otherwise known as "pay to win" games, where you can't really beat anything important until you ante up some real money.

I prefer a camel's other, much older alternate name. "Ship of the desert."

Yeah, let's skip the desert. You seen one sand dune, you seen them all. :p

But don't skip the dessert. You try to take my chocolate pie away, you gonna get a fork in the back of your hand.
