[Opinions] Re: dictionary def
I DID look it up after everyone directed me to do so and I can admit that the term is more widely used than I originally thought, but many of the definitions also note that relics are objects of the past especially with historical interest, importance, or sentiment. That's the definition I'm familiar with so at that moment I didn't feel like a payphone was an accurate example, so I used the term slang... which I then retracted my use of.I guess it came off as a dig but I really didn't mean it that way. I said I respect Rox for how reliable her dislike of a particular type of name is, but didn't find it particularly useful to continually read about when referring to said group of names. More like a "hey, I know you're style and I already know which names you're gonna hate, so you don't really need/have to tell me every time" Maybe I should've included a winky face ;) ;)

She probably replies to posts because she likes to. It's not always about the OP!

That's fine! I never said she couldn't or shouldn't reply if she wanted to! I generally think she has useful opinions.... I've just read "ridiculous" as a reply on enough similar names that, for THOSE names I don't find the comments all that productive. I only mentioned it because I myself would like to know if I were wasting my time on someone/something that wasn't giving the time back. Obviously no one read it as the playful banter I intended it to be... this board does a really great job of making me feel like a misunderstood mean girl :( :( I apologize if that's how I come off because it's never my intention. Apparently I'm not very good at communicating via the interwebs

Hah. Well, I find it's better if you put it in the original post. like "haters need not apply" or something. rather than a personal response

Haters gon hate... that's cool :) No, really I welcome negative comments as well, and frankly have seen some pretty hilariously insightful comments from Rox. I just thought she, of all people, could take a little heat for being less creative in these recurring remarks. Didn't go over so well I guess. Live and learn
