Is it the preposition that you question Mags?   

I once knew a guy who had some issues with his wife.  He was a jackass really.  The wife had a delicate stomach and to torture her, but not unlawfully,  he would pour beer into...onto.... in ....on.... his morning cereal.

...and the beer I had for breakfast tasted alright, so I had another one for dessert...

That's a line from a "song", and I don't remember the performer's or the band's name, fortunately.

If I described you as an explisive person whould you understand what I meant?

i would not understand what you meant.

what does "explisive" mean?

:secrets1: I think in your realm, billy rubin, the word is spelled: "3xprezzivv."

:grin:

~Wait. Should it be, the "nazi within me" or is, "the nazi in me", fine?  :notsure:

Old Seer

I've heard this used in conjunction with "explain", such as , he wasn't very explisive. IOW he didn't explain it/something well. It looks also as it could be used the other way - he was over explisive. I didn't know it wasn't a word. It also seems to be linked to , expletive.
The only thing possible the world needs saving from are the ones running it.
Oh lord, save us from those wanting to save us.

If I heard you say it verbally, I would probably think you were saying I am candid.

That sounds about right according to my personal experience. Every time I think I have thought of something new...nope. I shouldn't be surprised that other people have either used or heard of that non-word before me.

:lol: Yeah, I have pet peeves, too. I worked with nuclear materials (the radioactive ones, before someone picks my nose about all materials having nuclei)  ;D for awhile. It's stone simple to pronounce it "new-clear", instead of mispronouncing it "new-kew-ler". Dictionaries are even including the erroneous pronunciation because enough people use it. Lame.

Mr. B

Another word just popped into my head to describe a comment on social media.

Feccid

Apparently not a word. WTF is going on in my brain? In my mind it's pronounced Fekkid. Meaning, repulsive.

Google can't auto correct or figure out what I'm trying to say.
