shredder, you sure you don't work with me? I work (and drink with) a girl, who will occasionally just throw a random question into the conversation (something like yours) and confuse the hell out of everyone...



Anyway, not really sure I have a favourite word, although "drink" must be up there..

"Bibble" used instead of swearing and it's silly so stops the anger that the need to swear caused.

No, not "Okey Dokey"

My word is "Okidoki" (pronounced in quick nipponise sounding voice - "Ocki Docki"), please do not confuse it with the above one.

AFAIK it's a lesser region of "Wassamatta" in the depths of Japan. :D

And there was never any requirement for it to be part of either the English language or written in any dictionaries.

One of the funniest words in the English language is, always has been and always will be 'flange' - guaranteed to have me sniggering happily for an hour :D

As for the word I use the most - gotta be 'balls' (preferably growled under the breath when something else has gone wrong!).

True. However, just to start one of those totally useless discussions, would you agree that all expressions consist of 2 or more words and that "okey dokey" belongs to that special class of expressions whose component words are meaningless on their own?

And one of mine. The Czechs seem to specialise in it; it was used in the coup that sparked of the 30 Years War and in the fate of Jan Masaryk. And not forgetting the South African police; remember Steve Biko.
