In keeping with the thread's subject: Folks who haven't figured out that the word "ideal" isn't the same as "idea"

"Capeesh?"

It's intentionally misspelled. Here is my "capeesh" story.

A few years ago, while working for one of my previous employers, a supervisor decided to have an employee meeting. In this meeting, the only issue he addressed was a foul odor a single employee gave off. When he was done with his lecture in hygiene, I told the supervisor he did not have gather everyone and embarrass the individual. The next morning the supervisor handed me a note that said something similar to, "I have been working here for 12 years. Ive been a supervisor longer than you have been alive. If you don't like the way I am running my company (it wasnt his company) you can find yourself another job. Capeesh?"
I too thought it was funny but even funnier was when I handed my supervisor a note that simply said, "Capisce", and he was completely clueless on what it said. He asked, " what is cu-pis-ke?"

Funny story!

Well that word went over to neologic German and there it's called (kapito" (not to mistake with "kaputt" though even there seems to be something kaputt.

Fanboys - When a certain group of men are referred to this way it sounds like guys who're light in the loafers...

Using "so" and "like" in every sentence. I caught a glimpse of the kardashian show while visiting a friends home. They use those words too darn much. Ive heard these words being used constantly by young women at Wal-Mart. Extremely annoying.

The Kardashians didn't invent using "like" in every other sentence.
This has been going on since I don't remember.
Didn't the song "Valley Girl" [1982] address this issue?

Any words spoken employing "Upspeak" thus making statements sound like questions drives me batty, ah, battier...
