    Joe Shmoe Dictionary...

    I was just having a debate with my sister about the word Funner. She said it didn't exist, and I said it did, then she proved it to me. I was just thinking we should make a Joe Shmoe dictionary where words that don't exist in any normal dictionary do exist in this one. Here is my first contribution:

    Funner - a word to compare one activity, person, or idea to another, which is less exciting.

    Us Americans are lazy. There is no need to use useless U's in our words. It takes that much longer to write/type a U.

    I never heard anyone call it petrol until last night when I was watching some British movie on satellite... very good movie "Virtual Sexuality" ... not what I expected.

    Hey parksie what are some of the more popular tv shows in england? Somtimes i see a show on called the east enders. There was also a show that was set in a dept store which was a comedy. It's an older show but i dont remember the name though. It was pretty funny.
