Removing Nice from Your Vocabulary 

I will never claim to be the best at speaking (or writing) eloquently but inhale a linguistic pet peeve I Would very much like to discuss with you. There is an overused four letter word that is driving me fucking bananas. 

The word is nice. 

If I were to ask you what nice meant you’d be like “um, uh, it’s like nice, you know,” because typically we’re not using the word nice a synonym of pleasant, which is it’s primary definition.

She seems nice.

  1. I find a lot of things funny, in real life, it is not often that something I read makes me laugh out loud, sometimes all it gets is a slight smile,,, but THIS “I’ve been blindsided by the unexpected gloriousness of that bosom over yonder.”, this was pure gold!! I would totally say that to a lady instead of nice tits (mainly cos I HATE the word tits). What I am saying is well done for making me laugh, again! Keep that shit up!
