Nothing passes the time better when you're hair-pulling bored than going to Merriam-Webster online and listening to the proper pronunciation of "asshole", "motherfucker" and "cocksucker"

Technology is such a amazing thing.

Gosh, you must have a lot of time on your hands, Lord Poe. I can relate.

WANK isn't in that dictionary!

The dictionary.com version is so ace. Look:

/wangk/ [Columbia University: probably by mutation from Commonwealth slang "wank", to masturbate] Used much as hack
is elsewhere, as a noun denoting a clever technique or person
or the result of such cleverness. May describe (negatively)
the act of hacking for hacking's sake ("Quit wanking, let's go
get supper!") or (more positively) a wizard. "wanky"
describes something particularly clever (a person, program, or
algorithm). Conversations can also get wanky when there are
too many wanks involved. This excess wankiness is signalled
by an overload of the "wankometer" (compare bogometer).
When the wankometer overloads, the conversation's subject must
be changed, or all non-wanks will leave. Compare
"neep-neeping" (under neep-neep). Usage: US only. In
Britain and the Commonwealth this word is *extremely* rude and
is best avoided unless one intends to give offense.

HAHAHA
Wow, the dictionary actually said wankometer.

LMAO!

Why hearing that thing say 'cocksucker' is so funny, I do not know, but it IS!

EDIT: 'Whore' is said by a woman, too. Jeez...we're mature, aren't we.

I liked the entry for "clitoris." What do you guys think, is it "CLIT-or-is" or "cli-TOR-is"

Somehow, hearing the guy say 'asshole' so earnestly is really funny. Not sure why.

You guys have far too much time on your hands.

that dictionary.com thing is sig-worthy... If I only had room....

Conversations can also get wanky when there are
too many wanks involved. This excess wankiness is signalled
by an overload of the "wankometer" (compare bogometer).
When the wankometer overloads, the conversation's subject must
be changed, or all non-wanks will leave.

That can be replaced with spam, spamometer, and spammers and still be completely accurate. Heh.

EDIT: Hearing tit like that is just hilarious.
EDIT2: fuckup is great too
