THE WORD 'XMAS'

Oh what, saying the word Christ is beneath you? You think that resorting to something neutral makes taking part in a holiday steeped in Christian tradition okay?

Anyone arrogant enough to rename a quite ancient ritual to suit their own alien beliefs deserves to be stabbed to death with a sharpened candy cane.

THE WORD 'YUP'

I would have accepted yes, yeah, yeh, yep, yeppers, yah, jah, uh huh, sure, right, affirmative...
In fact, the only thing I wouldn't have accepted is yup.

Yup holds no meaning to me. I consider it linguistically void. I have my reasons.
