5 WORDS THAT MAKE YOU SOUND STUPID

Dictionary.com compiled a short list of "crutch words" detract from your main message and don't add useful meaning to your statement.

 

Actually – The literal meaning of this word signifies that something is present or exists in reality, but it is often used incorrectly to add an extra punch to the sentence.

Basically – This word should be used to signify a simple or fundamental point, instead people often use it incorrectly in a statement to add weight and instill a sense of finality.

Honestly – Often times people use this word to add either authority or amazement to their statements. Its correct usage adds meaningful honesty to what the speaker is saying.

Like –  A filler word adapted into our vernacular after movies and shows like "Valley Girl" and "Clueless" introduced us to the so-called ‘Val Speak.' Just like "um," we involuntarily slip the word into our conversations, but it should be used when describing something that has the same form or character as something else.

Literally – This often used crutch word can irritate scrupulous listeners, as the incorrect usage of the adverb can render a statement senseless. The word is supposed to describe something in a strict manner without exaggeration, instead speakers often use it in figurative or hyperbolic sentences.

CLAW-WEARING LADY GAGA DISAPPOINTS FANS AT FRAGRANCE PARTY

 

After vomiting three times onstage during a performance in Spain last weekend, Lady Gaga disappointed thousands of fans at her Fame fragrance launch bash in London.

She arrived to the party one hour late in a golden carriage pulled by two stunning black horses with feathers on their heads.

Thousands of her fans stood outside hoping to meet her or having their photo taken with her, but she only posed for a few photographers and didn't greet any of the fans who had waited for hours to meet her.

The fans booed loudly as she quickly went into the store to have tea with 75 lucky competition winners.

Good Chili Recipe
 
Nikki's Award Winning Chili recipe


I do not measure, so these are just guesses…….
 
 
This is for the big crockpot……
 
3.5 lbs of ground beef (about 80% lean)
2 large cans of Hunt’s Tomato Sauce (use a quarter of a can of water to get the remaining sauce out)
1 large can of Hunt’s Tomato Paste
3 cans of pinto or pink beans
1 Jar of Old El Paso Jalapenos, dump ¼ to ½  of the jar of juice in the chili
Frank’s Red Hot Sauce (probably about ¼ to ½ of a jar)
3 yellow onions
2 to 3 green peppers
3 BULBS of garlic
Cayenne Pepper
Chili Powder (this is probably 4 to 6 tablespoons)
Sugar (2 tablespoons)
 
Chop up the onions, green peppers and garlic into small pieces and sautee them in olive oil in a large saucepan until they are caramelized
Brown the ground beef in a large frying pan with a little bit of margarine
 
Put the sautéed vegetables, beef and tomato sauce/paste, and beans into large crock pot on low.  Add in the jalapenos and their juice, red hot sauce, Cayenne Pepper, Chili Powder and Sugar.
 
I usually let it cook on low for 4 to 6 hours the day before I want to eat it. Let it cool, and put in the fridge. 
 
Heat it up the next day, cooking it slowly for 4-6 hours

LADY GAGA TURNED DOWN MADONNA'S OFFER TO PERFORM ON HER TOUR

Lady GaGa turned down the opportunity to perform with Madonna.

Madge had asked Gaga if she wanted to join her on stage in their hometown of New York for her current world tour. But Gaga was forced to decline because she has "prior commitments" with her own "Born This Way Ball" world tour.

Gaga's manager said: "Madonna called to ask GaGa to perform with her at Yankee Stadium. Her manager reached out to us and said Madonna would like GaGa to perform with her. She really wished she could do it. She said, 'If we do it, let's donate the money to charity'. But GaGa's committed to her own tour."

NICKI MINAJ WILL APPEAR IN TV SPECIALS, NOT A REALITY SHOW

Instead, the rapper is set to appear in three specials on MTV, beginning in November.
