    Exam­ple: “I was shocked by the super­flu­ous amount I’m expected to pay for a stu­pid ‘pedes­trian in road­way’ ticket I received at SXSW this year.”

    Ha! I almost for­warded that to you but thought, “Nah, that’d be too geeky.”

    Guess it wasn’t too geeky after all. :P

    And speak­ing of super­flu­ous amounts… I haven’t received mine yet. Look­ing for­ward to being angry.

    That’s funny, I was just head­ing over to your site to let you know about the Dictionary.com Word of the Day. But I see you’re already on it.

    So would you con­sider your “ban­ter” to be unnec­es­sary, use­less or excessive?

    Wade: 1st prize for most cre­ative usage (prize amount: $125 or 6 months com­mu­nity ser­vice + $100)

    Matthew: Are you say­ing I’m a geek or something? ;)

    Patrick: Hmm… (pon­ders…) cer­tainly not exces­sive (judg­ing by my post­ing fre­quency last year), I’d like to think it’s not unnec­es­sary, so I’ll take “Words that are syn­onyms for use­less” for $125, Alex.

    FWIW, ban­ter was the word of the day at McMur­ray Mid­dle School on 2/14/06. (Note, this page will prob­a­bly be updated and, thus, this ref­er­ence will be lost.)
