They have, and probably a long time ago. According to M-W.com its use to express disdain goes back to 1600.

Maybe you should start saying "Fie!"

I suggest adding a trademarkable hand gesture to be said in accompaniment with the utterance. Thereby creating a unique combination you can seek protections for.

I thought the good news would be another Lashpair Planning thread.

...Hmmmm, that gives me an idea...

Is it too soon to open an "Election 2012" thread?

Well, I personally think "dinglecheese" should be in the dictionary.

The language purist in me cries when slang makes it into the dictionary. The last bastion of propriety, the standard, the thing a girl can count on.

Or not.

All words start out as either slang or jargon.

Fie!

That's going to be my word of the day. I think I can get it in as the new hip buzz word around the office to replace "concur". (don't ask me why certain words become funny in the office - they just do).

Seriously. My assistant and I had some hysterical laughter over the word "recusal".... you had to be there.
