i like it. i think it's fun.

yakking isn't fun.

Fun you mention it

i hate it when people chew with their mouths open.
it is horribly disgusting...

THAT makes me want to yak.

This new spelling of Per seems fun!

Wait, did he get banned again?!

dating a stripper is fun

you can't refute fun...unless you're a killjoy

We have a person in our office that uses this phrase A LOT - usually after they've seen some new product or new fangled thing in the latest issue of some design rag...

I say what's "fun" today will look dated, hokey, and very cheesy tomorrow...

true, but using the "safe" term like fun to describe something, to me - makes me wonder the extensive nature of that person's vocabulary, furthermore, why they chose to use that word in the first place?

mdler, u dating a stripper now????

Correction...dating a stripper WAS fun...thank you very much

funny thread.

weAREtheSTONES stole mdler's stripper? Nice work.

my office lately has hired a slew of early 20ish interior designers with suburban lifestyle/goals/visions of the world. so the word fun is thrown around at my office constantly. its like a freakin sorority...NoFuN!

vado

you work with a bunch of 20yr old hotties...sounds like fun to me

you'd think so. but i never said they were hot. theyre attitudes make them unhot.

vado

unhot is the new hot

if they were replaced with

tumbles

myriam!

then it'd be cool

Someone I used to work with used the term "funky" all the time to describe any design work the office did that was even slightly outside of the traditional.

"That facade looks pretty funky."

Drove me nuts.

this is a fun thread

Try countering with the following.

From Scotland: "Grrrrrea(t)."
From Ireland: "How grrrrand!"
From Italy: "Che bella."
Like a grrlfren: "Mmm, mmm, mm."
Like the Japanese Shiseido lady in downtown: "hai hai, si si si." (She's so cool.)

Make a different one for each day of the week. If they don't get the hint, well, grrrrea(t).

I was going to make the comment, "Do I have to be your mother, and ask if you're going to let a small word take up so much of your energy?" But then I remembered that one usually spends more awake time with one's coworkers than they do with the people at home. Fun, fun, fun... ('til, well, you know).

p.s. I'm not making fun of other cultures; I'm trying to keep them alive.

Have a great day!

I think the soft 20 something woman giggles are worse....like it is something left over from their childhood.

i heart 20 something's soft giggles

Before this thread gets way too misogynous (I know, too late), it bothers me when I sit in a chair that's gotten too much 'boy butt' (a seat with a history of too many farts) (thanks, sis).

(!?!)

(!!!)

What a fun thread this is.

its hard to sit and fart though
