JADE is grating on me, too.

I also hate "diva" to describe good-looking, entitled women. A friend of mine has taken to referring to herself proudly as a diva, which seems to mean that she deserves fawning attention and special treatment from men.

I keep seen STAN and just found out it means stalker/obsessed fan.  I hated it (and was confused) before learning the meaning and I hate it even more now.

I dislike the term diva to describe a woman who is successful and commands respect.  Sets my teeth on edge.

I read that as "tote maggots"


A maggot filled tote would make me run into a concrete wall as well.

"Totes" short for totally.

Totes are large obnoxious bags in which you carry your entire life around.

I did, too...lol, it was a fun mental image.

I know the difference, but sometimes my dyslexic tendencies have to be shared... I can't keep the funny to myself

"These aren't your (usually older person - mother/father/grandparent) (item of clothing, type of food, etc.)..."

It sounds like things of the past are so out-of-date, uncool, etc., while the newer versions are so much the better. If something's redone, just go for it without slighting an older version.
