Isn't it funny...

Postby Bomadeno on Wed Jul 23, 2008 12:56 pm

Isn't it funny how we say something is funny when actually we mean 'sad', 'evil' or 'bizarre' amongst others?

Is funny simply a good fill word when our minds can't think of a better word? Isn't it funny that I used the same phrasing once - now twice, in my thing.

I suppose that sums up why we do it. I agree though... I use 'funny' a lot.

Funny is a great word and should not be abused as a synonym for sad.

It rhymes nicely with some of my favorite things: money, honey, bunny, etc.

Y'know it's funny, but we don't...

sorry.

But it's true, there simply aren't enough words to describe every emotional state, so we substitute.

How mental (cranially oriented) is that??
