Word Up!



Language is malleable, forever changing. Bad is now good, wicked is happy and dope is .. well the arseholes that use this kind of language!

But it depends on your point of view just what words mean, which is why they are so powerful.

Do you not think it’s strange that ‘Banker’ and ‘Wanker’ are only separated by one letter but have the same definition!

A ‘cynic’ is someone who states the facts, whereas an ‘optimist’ is one who ignores them.

People call eastern Europeans that come to Britain and cost the state millions, ‘Scroungers’ while others call them ‘Royalty’! It all depends on your point of view.

A doctor is a person who devotes their lives to saving others, while to doctor the brakes on a car will take lives.

Here are a few words and their true meanings, from the world of advertising.

Free, The price is in the small print!

Fat Free, full of sugar!

Pro Biotic, a live yogurt (which only costs 10p)

Fresh and Light, no substance, all pumped air!

90% say they prefer? 90% who were given free products and didn’t want to be rude!

Stain Removal, Soak it in hot water!

Organic, expensive!

The Drive Of Your Life! That’s how long it will take you to pay the finance back!

Money Back guarantee! You wont have read the small print!

But now advertisers have a new one to add to the list,

Beef Burgers!… You can fill that one in yourself!
