I admit to using TTOM to describe: "Menstrual periods or Menstruation" But that's because I generally can't spell and I'd rather not take the chance of messing it up!
And I'll always have a space for "wicked" in my heart.
I hate 'Prolly' too. I don't mind it so much in spoken language, but I actually cringe when I see it written. Either in posts, in emails, etc...it drives me absolutely batty. I think it's because in my mind, if you make the effort to spell/type it out, you probably think it's a real word.
Oh, and I despise the non-word "sammich". Ugh...I really, really can't stand it when people say it. What is 'sandwich' too hard to say?

My word is...
Panties.
Reminds me of those frilly, lacy things I wore under my dresses when I was 5. I am a grown woman now and I don't wear panties anymore, little girls do! It just feels juvenile...

However, "panties in a bunch" can be quite effective. Makes me chuckle every time.

I suspect those phrases came about originally so that guys could savor saying the words 'knickers' and 'panties' in mixed company. Originally Posted by dachshund

I think it's the image that "panties in a twist" elicits that guys like so much. Originally Posted by BleeckerSt_Girl

I once read a book by Clive Cussler, my favorite bad prolific bad writer of all time, in which he said, "trapped like a duck in a closet."
