I had to drill down a ways to find this thread which is irrelevant to this post but..... I was listening to a podcast and they were saying "I be holden" as opposed to "I'm beholden" which was really so very sad.
I can smell the Tbone steaks my wife be grillen so time to bounce. Peace yo!

Alright, so I admit to routinely violating good grammar in the hopes of it sounding humorous. I know what everybody's tryin' to say, usually. But.... the typo I see that gets my goat is testament vs testimony. This should be pretty fuckin' obvious. The other one I see and cringe at a lot here is "nuts" meaning "nutrients". Leave your scrotum offa yer plants!

It's fun and stylish to sometimes purposefully violate language rules, as long as one is using it for effect and knows the difference. The 'nuts' thing bothers me too. At least take the effort to include the letter e, so that it makes phonetic sense. Fuckin' tards...

I split infinitives in front of my brother all the time because he hated it so much.
Our whole family gives each other shit for ending sentences with prepositions, which is one of the dumber grammar rules.

If you say, "Where 's he at?"

That bugs me, but other times you have to sound like an asshole to not end a sentence in a preposition.

So true. Just today I purposefully wrote, "This is a fantastic display of the arrogance coupled with ignorance I was referring to." This is because I didn't want to lose my point by sounding like an asshole by writing, "This is a fantastic display of the arrogance coupled with ignorance to which I was referring." Douchey ;)

Ok, seriously. I had to necro-thread because of cord vs. chord. I've been reading a lot of reviews for large, portable battery packs, and more often than not people refer to their 'power chords.' Are you a rock musician blasting shit out of your Marshall amp??? If not, you probably mean power 'cord.' Online learning isn't going to help with this annoying phenomenon...

I randomly logged on and saw this thread. This was a good one.

let me add “dix” only idiots use that word instead of dicks. So annoying.
Great to see you around, Mr. Goodson! I like to bring back the classics, when I reread this thread your posts were making me lol. How is your very busy life (and your grow)? What are you getting per ounce these days?

P.S. 'Dix' is now my official plural for penis. I hope the dictionary people acknowledge this fact soon...

I’ve actually been busy working. I’m not even growing anymore. But don’t you think for a second that I’m done. I moved and even though we are in a bigger house I don’t have space to grow. I know It doesn’t make sense. You’d think a bigger place means more space to grow. but I’ll pm you soon with the deets. I do have a game plan but it’s hard sorting through all those dix!!

Btw how have you been?

and everyone else for that matter? I hope all of y’all are doing well.

Cool. I hope the job is going well. I'm betting the break from growing is building up your excitement to start it up again, you know what a grind it is to make a living at this shit, always chained to your grow. Looking forward to watching the new start, subbed. I'm great, even though I caught covid twice. Music biz is exploding, much better than last year! I never expected that. Weed biz is great, the factory is rolling right along and I'm selling all I grow. Still getting $240 per ounce, seems like a sweet spot now that rec legal is here. Not as many great prostitutes out there this year. I get it, but I get grumpy when I don't get laid for a few months. Also collecting pandemic unemployment, so I'm not spending much from the businesses. Life is good...

That’s what’s up brother. I’m glad to hear all is well. I’m working in a lab. So it’s right up my alley(no homo) doing extractions like if I would with weed. But we do cats claw and turmeric and shit like that. Legal extraction of medicinal herbs. That’s why I was a good fit. Because I already had a background in extraction. That’s what got my foot in the door. I love it. Makes me feel like I’m still doing what I’ve been doing. But it’s legal and I get a w2.

Fridge is a reference to Frigidaire, the name of a/the manufacturer, not the refrigerator appliance.

Frigidaire Appliance Company is the US consumer and commercial home appliances brand subsidiary of European parent company Electrolux.

Frigidaire was founded as the Guardian Frigerator Company in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and developed the first self-contained refrigerator, invented by Nathanniel B. Wales and Alfred Mellowes in 1916. In 1918, William C. Durant, a founder of General Motors, personally invested in the company and in 1919, it adopted the name Frigidaire.[1]

The brand was so well known in the refrigeration field in the early-to-mid-1900s, that many Americans called any refrigerator a Frigidaire regardless of brand.[2] In France, Quebec and some other French-speaking countries or areas, the word Frigidaire is often in use as a synonym today. The name Frigidaire or its antecedent Frigerator may be the origin of the widely used English word fridge, although more likely simply an abbreviation of refrigerator which is a word known to have been used as early as 1611.[3][4][5]

From 1919 to 1979, the company was owned by General Motors. During that period, it was first a subsidiary of Delco-Light and was later an independent division based in Dayton, Ohio. The division also manufactured the compressors for GM's cars that were equipped with air conditioning. While the company was owned by General Motors, its logo featured the phrase "Product of General Motors", and later renamed to "Home Environment Division of General Motors". Frigidaire was sold to the White Sewing Machine Company in 1979, which in 1986 was purchased by Electrolux, its current parent. The company claims firsts including:

You know that just took the place of something likely more important in my brain, right?
