so how is it that the student population in our sunny little island defines the word mugging/mug as "to study for extended periods of time"?
one thing that one must realise - the student population here has tendencies to mis-define words to suit their own agendas or to make themselves seem smarter to their peers.

take the word "cute" for example. ugly but adorable?
this supposed meaning of the word cute was probably created by some jealous air-headed person.

for the word twit, see here.

Cute - adverb, noun
1. attractive, esp. in a dainty way; pleasingly pretty: a cute child; a cute little apartment.
2. affectedly or mincingly pretty or clever; precious: The child has acquired some intolerably cute mannerisms.
3. mentally keen; clever; shrewd.

ugly is the COMPLETE opposite of cute.
once again, a mis-definition. singaporeans twist words far beyond their intended meanings.

Anniversary
1.the yearly recurrence of the date of a past event.
2.the celebration or commemoration of such a date.
3.returning or recurring each year; annual.

which part of YEARLY do people not understand?
"oMg DeArZzZ tIs IsHh OuRr 1 mOnThX aNnIvErSaRyzZXzxZXz. lUrBzZx EuuUu."
kills your brain doesn't it. 1 month/2 month/half a year anniversary? someone get these people a dictionary.
anniversary DOES NOT EQUAL the commemoration of a stretch of time. it means A YEARLY COMMEMORATION of something.
duh.




no, don't argue with me about the words being slang. it doesn't work that way. how often does one see air-headed people going around spreading those mis-defined meanings?
practically the whole student population defines the word "cute" as "ugly but adorable".. and it's only spread further as each day comes.

once again, this proves that the english language in singapore is dying..
and there is nothing we can do to save it.

it's amazing how a language develops over hundreds of years only to be crushed in the hands of a few bengs and lians.



do tell me of any additional words if you can think of any.
