I know this is how languages evolve but I don't get it. I don't want to get it. I need to loosen up I suppose. Maybe I will come up with few new words and get with the program.

Here, let's make up a new word right now!
Sygazelle: to loosen up.
Ex. The grump old man needs to sygazelle.

See, it's fun!

It's not a new word, like "welp". It is a joke based on an inherent irony. It references a tattoo that many people get "No regrets". It is sometimes misspelled. One would assume that the person then regrets it. So that would, presumably render the statement self-nullifying. Jokes are never funny once explained.
Oh well.

That's pretty decricillatiing of you. Are you always so decracisious?

* this old guy I used to work with used to slide his "made up word" (which could be used as any part of part of speech) into conversations just to see if people noticed that such a big word didn't actually mean anything. They usually failed.

I'm going to go stygazellate now over a cup of coffee, it always has a nice stygazellation effect on me.

I see what you did there and I'm not afraid to call you out.

Edit: that old guy sounds like my kind of. I love when people make shit up or use words wrong trying to sound smart. Malapropism share my personal fave. One note of caution: they may notice and just not say anything. People hate to be corrected. Ask me how I know.
Stygazellation level over 9000.

No regrats! Spent my early 20's enjoying life, traveling, building cars and waited to finish school until I was 28. In a few years I now hold a Senior Engineer position, have a great wife, beautiful baby girl and awesome house. I'm glad I waited to enter the workforce later in life because it's all work and family now.

That is 25% more than a couple thousand!

Oh well.

But if you purposefully got it misspelled to show you don't regret your mistakes then youre ahead of the game.

I was really only kidding but your response is great. Thanks!

[Whostheboss]

No regrets or ragrets. I've made mistakes but they only made me better.

What if life has a "Do over" button...? I bet none of us will be here.

[jtodd_fl]

Regrets? I've had a few. But, then again, too few to mention.

[wdb]

I rugrats not unsubscribing from this thread immediately after having posted to it.

(For the record I also have no rugrats. Anymore. But I still know one when I see one.)

VW Probably has some Ragrets:
