[bicentennial_baby]

I keep seeing this around DU, and it's driving me nuts!! I think it's even worse that Lose vs. Loose! :banghead:

1. I've never seen that before

But I can see why it would annoy you.

4. Just saw it a minute ago...

and saw it on Saturday or Sunday too... Although, it can make a message pretty funny!

2. That is a viscous act you did to that viscious fluid

:evilgrin:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

3. well yeah

vicious is a pit bull biting you...viscous is rubbing oil all over yourself before the pit bull bites you :evilgrin:

6. Vicious...

You hit me with a flower
You do it every hour
Ohh, baby you're so vicious

Vicious
You want me to hit you with a stick
But all I've got's a guitar pick
Huh... baby you're so vicious

When I watch you come
I just want to run far away
You're not the kind of person
Around whom I want to stay

When I see you comin' down the street
I step on your hands and I mangle your feet
You're not the kind of person that I wanna meet
Oh, baby, you're so vicious

Vicious
You hit me with a flower
You do it every hour
Ohh, baby you're so vicious

Vicious
Hey, why don't you swallow razor blades
You must think I'm some kinda gay blade
But baby, you're so vicious
When I watch you comin'
I just have to run
You're not good and you certainly aren't very much fun
When I see you walkin' down the street
I step on your hand and I mangle your feet
You're not the kind of person that I even wanna meet
'Cause you're so vicious

Vicious
Vicious...

[iconoclastic cat]

8. People are beginning to loose thier ability to spel.

I blame spell-check.

9. You should start being really viscous to people who get them confused

We need a few more grammar-fascists to posse together against the heathen who destroy the English (or American) language.
