    Seems to be one of those "spoken but never to be seen" words?

    It is what it's.

    Macabre
    c.1430, from O.Fr. (danse) Macabré "(dance) of Death" (1376), probably a translation of M.L. (Chorea) Machabæorum, lit. "dance of the Maccabees" (leaders of the Jewish revolt against Syro-Hellenes, see Maccabees). The association with the dance of death seems to be via vivid descriptions of the martyrdom of the Maccabees in the Apocryphal books. The abstracted sense of "gruesome" is first attested 1842 in Fr., 1889 in Eng.

    Dynamic.

    This word used to mean something!.. something quite specific and sciency once upon a time. Bastardised by business/marketing speak along with other classics such as Parameter and Paradigm. I hate reading this shit - It's great to do such an innovative marketing campaign which connects with consumers in a dynamic and relevant way.

    I just wanted to have a quiet rant in some back-arse thread! :o
