StoneMtn Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 I know there have been threads dedicated to this before, but today I had occasion to use a word that I find very unusual: Bailiwick Anyone else feel like sharing some words that just strike them as weird?

CyberHippie Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 I was just noticing today how strange the word Kleenex is... I know it's really a brand but it's basically become a noun... Wierd word, Kleenex... Kleenex... Kleenex... It's lost all meaning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
