I actually use it quite often. Usually because I think it sounds better than just hugs.

Maybe the fact I'm a girl and I like cute things also have to be taken into consideration

Yeah, when a cute girl uses it that probably dulls the nauseating effect substantially.

*whatev*

*anywho*

*prolly*

*str8*

I don't really ever hear the word dude over here. though one friend does, but she is definitely the exception. never heard snuggles before either, but doesn't appeal either. I've heard 'squee' recently - but these type of words seem to be an internet thing as far as me coming across them . another friend used to detest and feel sort of sick at the word 'chunks' though.

Smarties, I'm glad "huggles" hasn't penetrated your world yet.

And Sharon, three of those you listed are almost as bad as "huggles": prolly, whatev and anywho.

Huggles, dude.

'whatev' - thanks sharon, I haven't used that word and it's fab.

When it comes to cutesy sweet stuff like that, I think my cat says it best:

*Hork, hork, hork, caack*

oops, yeah what you said

fag

Is that a word you don't like, or are you responding to someone here? You're not very clear, Chase...

I love that word and no, I was tossing it out for anybody to get hit by it. You were the first line of defense.

'Huggles'?

Never heard of it. *hangs head in shame*

Kids these days, seriously.

#7000!

Do I win something? ;-p

Here I come in response to Mark pimping his blog...only to find #7000 has been reached!

To get to the subject, I still recall director Mike Nichols deadpan reply to this question when he was honored on Actors Studio. He looked at the host, James Lipton, and muttered,

"Smegma."

Guess I'll choose the same word.

Thanks guys!

It's ok Mark.

Here's a huggle

Adam seems to REALLY hate it when I saw "sick" or "rager".
