Perhaps one of the most interesting words in the English language today, is the word DUST. Out of all the English words that begin with the letter 'D' ...DUST is the only word referred to as 'the D word... It's the one magical word. Just by its sound can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love. DUST, as most words in the English language is derived from Icelandic ...the word DUSTen, which means to help CCP develop a game.
In English, DUST falls into many grammatical categories:
As a transitive verb for instance.. John DUSTed Shirley.
As an intransitive verb... Shirley DUSTs.
Its meaning is not always gaming-related, it can be used as...
An adjective such as... John's doing all the DUSTing work.
As part of an adverb... Shirley talks too DUSTing much.
As an adverb enhancing an adjective... Shirley is DUSTing beautiful.
As a noun... I don't give a DUST.
As part of a word... absoDUSTinglutely -or- inDUSTingcredible.
And as almost every word in a sentence... DUST the DUSTing DUSTers.
As you must realize, there aren't too many words with the versatility of DUST...such as these examples describing situations such as:
Fraud: I got DUSTed at the used car lot.
Dismay: ahhh DUST it.
Trouble: I guess I'm really DUSTed now.
Aggression: Don't DUST with me buddy.
Difficulty: I don't understand this DUSTing question.
Inquiry: Who the DUST was that?
Dissatisfaction: I don't like what the DUST is going on here.
Incompetence: He's a DUST-off.
Dismissal: Why don't you go outside and play hide and go DUST yourself...
I'm sure you can think of many more examples.
With all these multi-purpose applications, how can anyone be offended when you use the word. We say use this unique, flexible word more often in your daily speech.
It will identify the quality of your character immediately.
Say it loudly and proudly: DUST YOU! |

I have way too much DUSTing time on my hands.
And my name still has a double "t".  |

I'm not a 100% sure to what the meaning of "jerk" is, but I have thought that "being a jerk" is normally done With intent, a jerk knows exactly what he is. He "is a baddy". A moron is (as I have interped it) an idiot, a half wit if you like, somebody that simply doesn't know any better or generally has a lack of mental capacity. If my interpetation is correct then I certainly beat Google translate, the shock!
When I said "close enough" I meant that Google was close enough, not you. Trusting Google over a real person is never a good idea. have you seen what it does to Asian languages? |
