Thusly

[NAD]

Not a word. I used it earlier today.

thus·ly ( P ) Pronunciation Key (thsl)
adv. Usage Problem

Thus.

Usage Note: Thusly was introduced in the 19th century as an alternative to thus in sentences such as Hold it thus or He put it thus. It appears to have first been used by humorists, who may have been echoing the speech of poorly educated people straining to sound stylish. The word has subsequently gained some currency in educated usage, but it is still often regarded as incorrect. A large majority of the Usage Panel found it unacceptable in an earlier survey. In formal writing thus can still be used as in the examples above; in other styles this way, like this, and other such expressions are more natural.

Irregardless, this post is more better likely funner then most spam.

Hearing "more better" and "irregardless" generally make me hit people. I used to yell at this one friend of mine when we were 8 because he said "more better" all the damn time.

He was a tubby bitch, we later renamed him Titty Boy, because he was a boy that had titties.

You make me sad.

from the invaluable Bill Bryson's Dictionary of Troublesome Words:

irregardless: is not a real word, though one or two dictionaries do now, lamentably, acknowledge it. Make it regardless.

 

[NAD]

Yeah I've seen that in the dictionary before, something like "improper, but due to popular use is accepted." When did the grammar police lose their soul?

Bryson's written some great books...here's an excerpt from Neither Here Nor There, as he looks at inflatable sex dolls in Hamburg, Germany:

"In large lurid letters the box listed Aphrodite's many features: "LIFE-SIZE" "SOFT FLESHLIKE SKIN!" "INVITING ANUS!" (Beg pardon?) "MOVEABLE EYES!" (Ugh!) "LUSCIOUS VAGINA!" and for those who missed it the first time around, "LUSCIOUS VAGINA THAT VIBRATES ON YOUR COMMAND!"

"Yeah, but can she cook?" I thought." - Bill Bryson

 

[NAD]

Hahahahaahah that rules. Every time I think of blow up dolls I think of Bud Bundy.

And I didn't notice any of them first time around

I immediately thought of Graham Chapman when you said that!

Well you should have, since that's who I was quoting.

 

[Black Winter Day]

"Go and tell your master that we have been charged by God on a sacred quest! We seek his aid in finding the Holy Grail!"

"Well, I'll ask him, but I don't think he'll be very keen-uh... we've already got one, you see!"

"He said they've already got one!"

"Already got one????"

"Oh yes, it's a-very nice-uh!"

"Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate!?"

I would say that's my favorite scene in the movie, but I could say that about any scene. Probably my favorite comedy ever.

 

[Black Winter Day]

Yep, and it never gets old. "The Big Lebowski" also has a similar effect on me... to many great scenes to count, never gets old, great characters, etc.
