these are the 10 reasons why i dont like the word crush.

1. it has too many interpretations. mostly people say that to have a crush on someone is to have an attraction to his/her outward appearance. like, "ive got a huge crush on jae, i meann, jay chou. you dont know the person personally. some people however, like to take the word crush and use it as a term which means "like". when i say i "like" i mean you know the person reasonably well enough to make an unadulterated judgement that he/she is a good person. and you find yourself thinking about that person. also, it can be used to mean squash,break, pound,pulverise, destroy, obliterate, cripple, hurt, maul, humiliate, put down, shame, etc. basically, i dont like the word crush because not everyone has the same understanding of the extent and weight of the word (when in comes to talking about infatuation and love that is).

2. i dont like it because its gay. its gay. can you imagine any guy saying that he has a crush on someone? heavens no! i would say "she's hot!" or "yeah, not bad la. sparkly big eyes that only God could have made, cheek bones as high as everest, jaw as dangerous as a shark, dresses like she writes urban. mile long straight and toned legs, impeccable complaction....." or perhaps say "eh you remember mary? she's nice ah. what school she from?". BUT to say i crush mary. is just way outta my line man. haha.

3. why not use infatuated instead. it makes you sound smarter.

4. crush is just such a low level thing! it doesnt even deserve to have a word dedicated to it. like why isnt there a word for "i told you so". there needs to be words for phrases like these. like AIYA. thats a good word. it represents frustrations of ones own stupidity (when accompanied by a smack on own forehead) and represents frustrations with another's stupidity (when accompanied by a smack on the persons forehead) or dissapointment with certain situation. many meanings, but you'll get it when you're in the situation itself (unlike the word crush).

5. adults use it. when cool words get picked up by adults, it just SUDDENLY becomes uncool. like if your mom kept using the word ownage.. instead of being proud, you'd feel strange right. haha. and when all the adults like your teachers and speakers and everyone starts using it, it just DOESNT work out any more. its like blogging. ever since adults started having blogs and talking about using blogs to promote this and that, to blah blah, people have STOPPED blogging as much as they used to.

6. the 666 wants you to be distracted from REAL THINGS by "crushes" and crushes arent meant to take up the bulk of your conversation with each other. dang. its fun for awhile but too much. even the devil would puke.

7. 777 doesnt want you to waste time that you can spend with him on thinking about that cute guy you just met through your friend's brother's 2nd sister.

8. the 888 wont let you get lucky if you dont already have her number.

9. the 999 would catch you if you spy on her.

10. 10 10 10 10. ten ten ten ten. no it wouldnt be cool if you were married.

and thats why i dont like the word crush.
