"Closure" was banished in 1996, along with another one of peeves, "robust":

LOL! (sic)

(I mean NNN [Nyuck Nyuck Nyuck])

I hereby suggest the new chat acronym of FOF to replace the now officially banned "LOL."

FOF = Fits of Frivolity

Good read. But, judging from PAST EXPERIENCE, this is a futile effort.

"Punked" is prison slang I believe for rape.

"At the END OF THE DAY"....... this one really gets to me. Are you supposed to be cool if you say this or British pop/media? Every day has its End and then there is a new beginning. You saying "At the End of the Day" does not add any finality to your opinion and mean that you get the last word twerp. (not you Tazlo)
