The idiots around here never disappoint. I saw one wreck in person on the way to work and no less than 6 more vehicles that were abandoned after wiping out trying to go over these god damn frozen overpasses. And these stupid mother****ers just kept wanting to drive on the freeway! They would get forced off to the feeder road because fire and police had an overpass blocked while tending to a wreck and next chance they had they were getting right back on.

I think we got about 12 scared and lonely snowflakes on the north side of Dallas.

of course, it *is* about 12.5'F outside, to make up for it.

It effing is.

It's allowing for an informal usage, which might be fine but it's become so common that nobody even remembers the correct way anymore.

wouldn't informal still be correct? like the link you provided, no less than or no fewer than would be correct, the latter being for those that dress nicely and know long words.

I'm more perplexed by the retarded words the dictionaries are allowing these days, just to be hip

It effing grates on me every time I read it! Stop!


Technically correct in informal usage means that you should expect to get called out for it.

I think 75% of the cars on the road last night were delivery drivers.

Also, I am almost out of vanilla extract and baking powder - send help!

Did you run out of alcohol so you had to resort to vanilla extract to get drunk? If so, I recommend peppermint extract, it has more alcohol content.

It was 40* in Anchorage last night, strange times. The news said we've had more rain than snow this winter up here.

The Monday after New Years weekend I was driving home towing snowmachines with my pickemuptruck and it was raining onto freezing roads and I've never experienced such slickery. I do have **** tires on the truck, but it sure felt like one rear tire would spin just letting off the brakes going 10mph down the highway.

Man **** this weather today. This seems like the worst flash flood since Harvey. My friend already has water waist deep on his street. The water level is already up over the curb and going into his front yard.
