Top 5 Words Made Up By Stupid People
"Irregardless"
"Irregardless" can't take the place of "regardless"! "Ir-" is already a negating prefix, as in "irrespective" or "irrelevant." And because "-less" is also a negative suffix, "irregardless" is a paradox.
"Misunderestimate"
" To underestimate the completely wrong thing.
"Munt"
A munt is when you try to choose between two synonyms and end up jamming them together into a portmanteau of failure.
"Ruthful"
"Good" or "merciful." The opposite of "ruthless."
"Supposably"
"Supposedly," or "supposing that this is true."

How To Earn Money From Your Blog
Blogs that make money have conceits that go viral: 1000 Awesome Things, Cake Wrecks. If you want to turn on advertisers, launch a blog that makes people laugh and involves them.
Tease Your Audience
When broadcasting over social media, don't just shout, "New blog post!" Instead, encourage clicks with teaser heads, like "You gotta see this!"
Swap Links
Having trouble posting daily? Create an entry with links to other sites that may return the favor.
Add Ads Slowly
A cluttered, ad-heavy site is a turnoff. After you've built a readership, try a service like Google AdSense, which places ads on your site that earn you money with every click.
No.5 Sell Some Gear
Once you have a core audience, start marketing T-shirts or mugs. Opt for funny images or phrasing from your posts.

Top 5 Ways To Preserve Your T-Shirts
 |
| Taylor Lautner |
Your best bet is to hang your T-shirts after a wash. Work the hanger up through the bottom of the shirt instead of cramming it through the collar so that you don't stretch out the neck, and align the hanger with the shoulder seams.
No.4 Wash Smart:-
Wash your favorite cotton tees in cold water. Line-dry them or use a low-heat, low-tumble dryer setting. Remove them as soon as they're dry.
No.3 Grip And Shake:-
Hold the shirt out in front of you, pinching in about an inch from the collar on each shoulder. (Place each thumb on the back of the shirt and the rest of your fingers on the front.) Give it a couple of aggressive shakes to soften the larger wrinkles.No.2 Tuck And Halve:-
Use your pinkie and ring fingers to push the sleeves into the back of the shirt, folding them around your middle fingers. Now find a flat, clean surface. In one smooth motion, fold the shirt in half as you lay it front side down.
No.1 Release And Adjust:-
Press your thumb into the shirt as you release your other fingers from under it to keep the fold. With your hands free, tuck in any loose corners or sleeves and smooth the fold at the bottom of the shirt to prevent further creases.
Top 5 Ways To Be A Real Man
No.5 Get The News:-
Short of reading the news, there is a lazy man's solution: watch news channels. The talking heads that feature prominently on 24-hour news networks are typically very polished and have a superior command of the language you'd like to speak better. Listening to them frequently will help you do just that.
No.4 Hit The Gym:-
Maintain some level of physical fitness. Sticking to a workout program designed by somebody who spends their days racking your weights will make you look better in clothes -- the first step in getting a woman out of hers.
No.3 Forget The Past:-
Don't inquire about your girlfriend's past. That kind of knowledge could send you into a tailspin of doubt and jealousy.
No.2 Shake With Authority:-
Your handshake gives you away. So what does yours say about you? Firm and assertive or weak and submissive?
No.1 Look 'Em In The Eye:-
If etiquette were a family, then eye contact would be the first cousin to the handshake. Not maintaining it is equivalent to a confession of guilt. Top 5 Things A Gentleman Has Just Gotta’ Do
In my opinion, well-groomed gents have just gotta’…
- Provide a firm handshake always. Not “break his wrist” firm, but no dead fish.
- Tell the truth — that way nothing really has to be remembered.

- Say “thanks” when someone holds the door.
- Let people off the elevator before rushing on.
- When calling someone with whom there is no set phone appointment, ask “do you have a minute?” before jumping into that rant/talk.
- Listen and make sure that person says “yes, I have a minute” before launching into that rant/talk.
- Provide a firm handshake always. Not “break his wrist” firm, but no dead fish.
- If asking someone “how are you?” — being prepared and ready to listen with actual attention.
- Avoid sporting a uni-brow, comb-over, or excess nose or ear hair.
- Be pleasant and polite to service staff no matter the venue. Issues can be addressed, but there are ways to do it with dignity and without demeaning someone.
- Wear a bow tie once in awhile.
- Write handwritten notes and send them through the mail (of course, to someone they know or are trying to get to know).
- Make sure to “take it” as good as you “dish it out.”
- Tell the truth — that way nothing really has to be remembered.
- Take off that blue tooth head seat if it’s not in use.
- Un-clip any mobile technology strapped to belts.
