lately i've come across the practice of creating my own code in which i use certain words which i would otherwise not use in everyday language, as an attempt to keep myself sane at the job when i want to call someone an idiot or a toad from hell. for example:

"delightful" = "miserable"

"insightful" = "i knew that already, but thanks for wasting my time."

"lovely" = "vile"

"pleasure" = "dull dread"

it seems to be working for me. the more people piss me off, the more i keep making up new flowery code words for all the hideous things i want to REALLY say, and i succeed in paying them compliments out loud while cursing them out in my little private glossary.

does anyone else have codewords like this? i find them very therapeutic.

"Interesting"= "Please seek medical attention for your severe case of stupidity"

This has other meanings as well, but depending on the inflection you can have the above or:

"Please don't touch me."

and

"You really are just completely fucked in the head, aren't you?"

Of course this also can be used to mean:

"That's great."

This is the rarest of the above forms.

we usually say "thats fucked up" and it means something is really fucked up

You live in your own little world don't you?

I say "fine" and that's my code word for "fuck you"

I have others...

"fine" (Fuck you). And yourself? (God I can't stand you) Nice (Help Me) See ya!(please go away and stop bothering me)

See!

OMG...I was in a meeting and my boss laid out a time frame/plan as to what she wanted to accomplish for the year. and she asked our HR guy what he thought of the time frame's achieveability. He said "that's a really challenging time line you have" Thinking about it he did say it in a way that suggested "fucked up".
