6 MeowMeowBeenz - I heard it too!

[Blue Plastic]

How about "beginningly?"  Heard that in an episode today.  As in:

 

Judge Judy:  What date did you sign the lease on the apartment?

Clueless Litigant:  Beginningly, we signed the lease on August 24, 2013..."

[6 MeowMeowBeenz]

I thought I heard "beginningly" but our DVR took a crap so I couldn't rewind...so glad you saved the moment for posterity!

[teebax]

I have to share this. I was getting new tires today, so I was waiting for my car to be finished. There was a lady talking loudly on her cell phone. She also had two kids who were screaming and running all over the place - big surprise. Anyway, she was complaining about something the tire guys did. And she said, "They had tooken them off, and they were all messed up."

 

That, my friends, is the first time I've ever heard anyone say "tooken" outside of a TV court show.

[QuelleC]

I had a coworker who said "my kidses" for plural and possessive use.  Recently I saw an internet post using that word too. 

[teebax]

Oh, dear God.

[DoctorK]

The end of western civilisation as we know it. It has been a pretty good run for about 3,000 years.

[DebbieW]

My soul hurts.

 

I'm a special education teacher.  I have a 3rd grade student (that I got when he was in 1st grade) whose only real disability is that he's an only child being raised by grandparents who think he shits glitter and rainbows.  He's constantly saying things like "I goed to the store." and "We runned on the playground."  I spent the first two years modeling and correcting.  Now I act like I can't understand what he's saying and he manages to figure out the proper way to say it.  Aforementioned grandparents think this is oh so adorable (and it probably was when he was 4) that I'm fighting an uphill battle. 

 

I'm wondering if I'll see him/them on JJ someday.

[AngelaHunter]

What about "abruised?"

 

Must be the short way of saying she was "Abused" and "Bruised". If you need to think of an easier way to say it, it might be time to ditch whatever Loverboy inspired it.

[Milz]

I think it was 2 weeks ago on a repeat, someone used the term "escape goat" during the halterview. As in "she wanted an escape goat".

Om my god.  I'm sorry but this is hilarious.  Reminds me of that friends episode where Joey thought the term "Moot point" was "Moo point" as in "moo" the sound a cow makes so the point is irrelevant.

Hey, I say Moo Point all the time. Although I've never dared write it in a brief or say it to a judge.

[ItsHelloPattiagain]

My grown daughters and I also say "Moo Point". The difference is in knowing the difference but saying it for comic relief. 

[Toaster Strudel]

"Verbal words", folks!

[Sarcastico]

Remember the litigant a few years ago who bought a $600 smartphone because she "like-ded" it?  This "word," the past tense of like, can now be heard routinely on Maury Povich. 

[AngelaHunter]

This "word," the past tense of like, can now be heard routinely on Maury Povich.

 

I don't watch Maury, but I weep for the demise of the English language.

[DebbieW]

I teach 3rd grade students with learning disabilities and one of my boys does this because he's sounding out the words.  It's adorable when he does it (although we're working on not doing it).  These dumbasses, not so much.

[Milz]

A new definition for "escape goat". Used in Kitten Mom v. Kitten Mom, plaintiff sues defendant for vet bills she accrued while caring for a stray cat. Defendant claims Plaintiff stole the cat and countersued for lost wages. JJ established that Plaintiff was a better Kitten mom getting shots for kitten, getting kitten's claws trimmed monthly, etc. than Defendant, but the Kitten was the Defendant's pet. JJ found for the Plaintiff. During Plaintiff's testimony, she said the kitten was an "escape goat" and left the home while a door was open.

 

Escape Goat

1. noun: a scapegoat; a person or thing that is made to bear the blame of others.

2. noun: a escape artist; a prison inmate with the reputation of being able to take unauthorized leave.

[Oinky Boinky]

I mentioned this on the main JJ page. This is not the first occurrence of 'escape goat' on JJ

 

In the older case I believe the litigant said 'escape goat' in the true sense of being a scape goat but just not knowing what the correct word was- she knew the meaning but not the words. 

The kitten litigant was wrong in every sense. 

 

And this reminds me of daffy duck teachers where one of them used the 'allowed speaker' to call out the other.  Why did she do that?  Obviously because it was allowed.

 

It boggles when teachers don't know their own language.

[Oinky Boinky]

Quite often the closed captioning is wrong.

Often it is laughably wrong.

 

I am not sure who does the closed captioning but I know the cc on The People's Court is very funny. 

I still have the kitten ep so I will listen to it again.

[SnarkyTart]

Kitten lady definitely said escape goat, with the conext that it meant the kitten was good at escaping.

[6 MeowMeowBeenz]

Can't believe no one has yet posted "aware", used thusly:

 

Your Honor, it wasn't my fault, she did not aware me of the situation. 

[Milz]

I heard this on a repeat case: Drunken mom suing drunken daughter for fishing poles and other assorted property left at drunken daughter's home after drunken Mom was thrown out. Drunken daughter countersued for damages caused by drunken mom's sober chihuahuas. Drunken daughter asked drunken mom to move in to watch her children. But threw mom out after discussing mom's flirtatious behavior towards daughter's boyfriend. the discussion took place at a bar.

 

"uncomfortabilize" verb. to make uncomfortable

 

Usage: "She uncomfortabilized me because she was always touching me and coming onto me".

[QuinnM]

I myself never walk anymore.  I never do anything.  I only proceed to the store or proceed to call on the phone.  I find it carries more weight.

[AngelaHunter]

I've noticed a shocking increase in the use of the non-word "tooken." 

[Sarcastico]

I've been noticing that people are forgetting comparative adjectives and how to use them:  old, older, oldest; short, shorter, shortest; late, later, latest.  I recently heard someone on this show say, "more big" rather than "bigger."  Can't remember the case or the contestant.

[Quof]

"contestant"

 

Hee! You mean litigant.

 

Although I understand how they could be viewed as contestants on a game show.

[DoctorK]

 

I've been noticing that people are forgetting comparative adjectives and how to use them:

What I keep seeing is the inability to use the most basic tenses - present, future, past. This is not getting into some of the oddball tenses in English, but these people can' even handle the basic three tenses. They are functionally illiterate in simple basic English but have a huge sense of entitlement.

[Intocats]

I myself never walk anymore. I never do anything. I only proceed to the store or proceed to call on the phone. I find it carries more weight.

"Your Honor, I then proceeded to my vee-hickle which was currently parked-ed outside the bar."

MISUNFORTUNATE - Being unfortunate, but incorrectly.  If you're going to be unfortunate, you better do it right; if you don't, you're misunfortunate.

[bref]

I was just coming here to post about Bill Murray's doppelganger and his made-up word. But misunfortunately, Toaster beat me to it!

[bref]

Today's "use of a real word incorrectly" award goes to the fella who hauls "garbage, trash, refuge". Extra points for (attempted) redundancy!

Today's "use of a real word incorrectly" award goes to the fella who hauls "garbage, trash, refuge". Extra points for (attempted) redundancy!

He was successfully redundant as soon as he followed garbage with trash. 

 

He was looking for refuge after he hit and run. Maybe refuge was a Freudian slip,    

 

You know a Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your mother.

[Oinky Boinky]

I have been giggling about Juloon all day long. 

 

All of todays snark has been giving me giggle fits.

teebax reports "begrade" is a new word for us!  Yea for expanding our vocabulary.

May I respectfullly add 'stolded'? I don't have it no more cuz my brudder stolded it.

[teebax]

I would add " broughten" as well. Great list!

[Milz]

"Insufficient other" : a significant other who is insufficient.

[AngelaHunter]

Good additions. Done!

[AuntiePam]

Heard this one today:  "Recompensate" -- a combo of "recompense" and "compensate", as in "I sued in order to recompensate myself".

[AngelaHunter]

Added "Insignificant other" and "stolded" but seems I can no longer edit my dictionary.:(

[wallysmommy]

I would add ammonia as in noun.  A lung infection.  "She left the window open and my sister caught ammonia."  Except this was on People's Court, I do believe.

[AngelaHunter]

"She left the window open and my sister caught ammonia."  Except this was on People's Court, I do believe.

 

No worries! On JJ we had "limonia". Maybe a different kind of lung infection... ?

[SandyToes]

Perhaps "limonia" is a lung infection resulting from eating too much citrus? Or cured by?

 

Thanks for getting this posted, Angela. My go-to source when I'm feeling blue or furiated.  And actually, I think "bicker-backer" may just end up in my personal lexicon.

"It is what it is" = "I did it." or "I'm only sorry I got caught." or "Yeah, I was stupid."
