Someone said this word the other day, and it made me want to twist their head off and mount it on a spike as a warning to all other would-be morons.

Beautimous. Even typing it makes me cringe. It's ugly sounding. No matter how you pronounce it (byoot-eh-mus, byoot-eh-miss, etc), it's horrible. Not to mention the fact that it's not even a real word; but that's just an aside because there are some good words out there that might not qualify as real.

There are several other words that could be used in its place, and they're all much better. So one could logically surmise that anyone who chooses it over the others is one of two things, or both: 1) a moron, or 2) obviously being an ass if for no other purpose than they enjoy being an ass.

Both offenses deserve public ridicule, at the least. In fact, if memory serves, there are some counties in Alabama where failure to impose physical punishment for something like this would be a seperate crime in itself.
