What words do you botch in order to think? And help other goons find "le mot juste" For me: Colloquially: means "in the language of ordinary or familiar conversation; informally." I use this word to describe the idea that we are trained to use words in a specific way to facilitate certain 'living' definitions such as the idea that IQ be used interchangeably for intelligence, as in the word IQ is colloquially used to define intelligence. This seems to be a common way to use the word 'colloquially' rather than to a lexicon that is just informal. Am I even right or am I splitting hairs here. Colloqially, "I'm gay" on the forams potentially relates to absurdism (something I also used to incorrectly call 'dadaism') rather than meaning its a declaration of your sexuality. Em: means "a unit for measuring the width of printed matter, equal to the height of the type size being used. A unit of measurement equal to twelve points." I use this to quantize or discreetly quantify measurements or steps of the aesthetic nature. As in a knuckle could be an em of the entire fist. Or the line width of a character could be an em of the complete glyph, as there are mathematical relationships between the line width of a glyph and the other features and spaces of a glyph. Or perhaps a component or measurement of the face is an em towards describing the aesthetics of the rest of the face. Is the correct word either 'integer' or 'figure'?

Like many people I use "literally" its so-called colloquial sense, but it carries a coloration of intentionality? As in someone is literally doing X not as metaphor and not in actual fact, but rather if they understand their actions to represent and/or facilitate X. To me the word ascribes malice or premeditation rather than as-writ factuality.

I say "chortle my balls" as an insult. It sounds good. But chortle does not mean "suck on". It means laugh.
