a Vote for the "worst" word used in the RFF in 2006

[Gabriel M.A.]

I just want to publicly thank David for introducing me to "Negative Nancy." I love that.

She wasn't a boar, was she?

I'll put in a vote for "Sticky"

It's even worse than "magenta"..

Be fair, if you need to ask for a 'sticky' your thread isn't interesting enough of its own merits..

I just hate the term "Digi-cam " - It's a digital camera for Christ's Sake!!!:bang:

"Image Stabilization"

I know its nice to have

but come on people lay off the caffeine

edit: I guess my answer is more towards trends then phrases... but none-the-less

Merriam-Webster lists lense as a variant.

That's an American dictionary. It's a mis-spelling in British English, as I said before.

The OED has lense as an archaic term meaning "to make lean", but no other meaning. Lense meaning lens is wrong in British English.

After a lot of thought, so many to choose from, Bokeh gets my vote



Bokeh (from the Japanese boke) the out of focus area of a print or slide. Occurs in two distinct types; a) Good Bokeh the effect your lenses have or that which proves your point, and; b) Bad Bokeh that which doesn’t. Many words may be used to prefix Bokeh that allow it to mean anything you wish e.g. Liquid-Bokeh (def my lens is better than your l), Delicate-Bokeh (def my lens is better than yours) etc.

Don't forget the all-mighty Kings of Bokeh ... although I keep forgetting which ones are which
