Words that should be banned from VST

I probably spend more time on here than I should, but as I read some of these posts, there are certain words that just simply shouldn't be used...Try working some of these into a normal conversation and see if you don't get a giggle.

broth - ever use that word in a conversation? I laugh every time I read "I had some warm broth." I cook for a living, and not once have I ever made broth. Soup, yep, stock yep, broth...uh..no..

Bougie - Didn't even know what this meant, and still don't. (Don't wanna know either) Word shouldn't be used in mixed company. When people start comparing their bougies, I think those posts should be restricted to the men's room forum.

Surgerversary - Again, WTF? Can't we use normal english? You had surgery on X date or a year ago I had surgery. I can't go down to the Hallmark store and get you a surgerversary card.

Onederland - Where is this place? Is this in Canada? Again, try using that in a normal conversation. I'm sure you'll get some confused looks.

Feel free to add your own favorite banned words....

(btw, for all you out there that had your sense of humor removed with your stomachs..this is a little Saturday night levity.)

This boo needs a party and a drink!

Wish you where local..

But we will clink glasses via the World Wide Web :)

So happy for your loss ( or is it lose or loose) :P

cross country clink!! :)

thanks! I'm such a looser...... :D

You'll still beat me to goal line though.

If you drink enough you might get a little "looser"

:P

And John, you and will be getting to goal at the same time! :)

Well, this occurs to me -- WLS patients tend to engage in a lot of "bathroom talk." If we brought up the topic in as much detail as is discussed on WLS forums, folks would start avoiding us IRL. :-D
