Crushing.

Lora, can you give me an example of a word, that in some instances can be cool, and then when used as a really strange adjective for something else, can be the most putrid of all words?

why yes Lora, I can!!

Lora? What Word?

This word my dear self..is Crushing.

Inevitably in every cock sucking survey people post on myspace, there is a question about "crushing" on someone. Now if I took this question literally, it would sound like this:

Question 21. Is there anyone that you are currently smashing with blunt force, with prefferably a two ton slab of metal, until pressed into an easily discarded pancake?

The answer, unless you are a truly odd and sadistic human being is NO. No question number
21. No, I am not currently smashing anyone with any amount of tonnage.
for some reason, this word also reminds me of fizzy red soda on Ice. But that is neither here nor there.

I think it is really stupid of the word police to allow this to happen any longer. and for that matter, is there a word police? Why not?? I digress...If you want to know the answer to this question, why not just ask if this person has a physical or emotional attraction to someone, that they (the other person) is not aware of? Or how about this:

Question 21. Is there any dude/chick you want to make it with?
Not really clever, but not nearly as heinous as the previous.

Here is an example where crushing is a great word: WHEN SMASHING A CAN. Yeah, thats it. I bet you thought I was going to go on about it, but no, I did not, because smashing a can is awesome. For example, how awesome does the following sentence sound:

"Last night, I was in a fit of recycling rage, and I ended up crushing 200 empty fresca cans with my bare hands, all I have to say is, my paws really took one for the enviroment."

WOW? REALLY? .......I LOVE THE WORD CRUSHING.

But not the way it is currently being tossed about. After aknowleding my previous question, I decided that I am now founding a word police force. I am going to smash the face of anyone who uses this wonderful verb, in a manner in any way other than destroying something.
and for that matter, how exactly does destroying something, translate into having giddy feelings for someone?

You got me survey people. You certainly got me.
