From AB,
A class mate of mine unintentionally poked a boy with his pencil and he started bleeding. When the teacher enquired, instead of saying "I didnt do it purposely", he said "I didnt do it properly". The things that followed are left to ur imagination..

From Plum,
Usage of basically in random places. I am very, very guilty of this myself even now.
I remember a class-mate of mine who introduced herself in a Campus Interview(Group Discussion actually) like this:
"I am so and so. I am doing my Masters blah blah. Basically, I have two brothers"

From Plum,
Basically, Softie, you can't use "basically" for discrete attributes. adhAvadhu, you have two brothers-nA, you have two brothers.
For example:
"basically two brothers"
adhAvadhu "enakku basically two brothers konjam family historyyA thONdi pArththA adhukku mEla irukkum" nu arththam varum.
andha poNNu thannai ariyAma thannOda family-aivE total damage paNNikichu adhAn joke. ippOve I am juvenile enough to jump at such jokes, appO kEkkavE vENAm. Thankfully, it was towarsd the end of College so she didnt have to suffer my barbs for more than a month

I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.
