maychorian: (-pwns grammar-)
So I was arguing with my sister, [livejournal.com profile] dickensgirl, at supper earlier this evening. We argue quite often, and it's always amicable, though I usually find her ridiculous and she finds me aggravating. It's just that she has a tendency to run off at the mouth without actually knowing what she's talking about (it seems to be a disease common to fifteen-year-olds, so I don't blame her too much), and I often find it extremely amusing.

Like this particular time, when she tried to argue about semantics, but when I asked her if she knew what it meant, she totally didn't. She thought it meant "Words that sound the same but have different meanings." (These are homophones, by the by.)

So, I don't know, I laughed at her for a good five minutes, shaking over my taco salad. Something about that just struck me as extremely funny, trying to argue about the meanings of words when you don't even know the meaning of the word that signifies "discussion and study of the meaning of words." OH, SEMANTICS. OH, ENGLISH LANGUAGE. How you amuse me.

A few others at the table were pretty tickled too, and my brother Andrew even told her, with a grand wave of his hand, "Yeah, trying to argue about words with an English Major. That will go great for you." She was definitely not amused.

Just thought I'd share.

It still makes me giggle a bit now.

Have you SEEN these?

Ahahahaha, I think Neal was flirting with Gus. That makes me stupidly happy.

Also, what is that other show in the first one? Burn Notice? I think I should start watching Burn Notice.
maychorian: (Castiel longing)
Holy crack nuggets yeah.
