This is the comments page for the item you selected! With any luck, it should be fairly obvious what this means for you. If not, I'll tell you.... Give me your thoughts on whatever it was that I said, or take a look at what others already flamed me for. :)

4:05 - from the wonderful-words dept:
For some reason, the word "ridiculous" has recently become an important part of my vocabulary. I always knew this word existed and how to use it, but I generally didn't think to use it when an opportunity arose. I would say something was "absurd" or "crazy" or "nuts" instead of "ridiculous."
On some date, fairly recently, someone used the word in a conversation with me and from that point on it seems to have become the first word I can think of to describe something absurd. I feel that much I encounter is, in fact, ridiculous and now I have trouble managing not to use the word constantly.
I've actually been trying to force myself to use alternatives to avoid sounding like I favor the word especially, but I do. Why do I like this word so much suddenly? Why is it that nearly anything that happens that I find preposterous, I am compelled to call it ridiculous?
It's ridiculous.

We all happen on words like that. I've downscaled my use of the affirmative "absolutely" recently. Sometimes words just stick.
Happy Bday!
