Imagine not knowing the word "tizzy"
- GolDDranks 5y agoUh, I didn't know it. Apparently it means "a state of nervous excitement or agitation".
- gremlinsinc 5y agoImagine getting in a "tizzy" about journalists using the word "tizzy"... that's irony for ya.
- arthurcolle 5y agoIt's fine to not know it. It's absurd to judge the merits of an article based on not knowing a word it uses. I mean seriously - you're going to judge an article based on a word YOU happen to not know? Farcical to the extreme. Made me feel like I'm in that movie from the 90s, "Dexter's Lab Ego Trip" when they are using square wheels instead of circles.
- sroussey 5y agoIt would them in a tizzy…
- omginternets 5y agoThey might even accidentally a word ;)
- neom 5y agoNot sure tizzy is common outside of commonwealth countries. I'm quite sure it's British English.
- Fezzik 5y agoI’m USA born, have lived here my entire life, and have known what “being in a tizzy” meant since… 4th or 5th grade? I thought it was a relatively common word/phrase. I do read books though, but nothing fancy. Our literacy standards are apparently spiraling downward.
- arthurcolle 5y agoSame here. Idk about specific grades, but pretty sure everyone knows what tizzy is.
- Fezzik 5y agoI just remember telling teachers to not be in such a tizzy when I was quite young, certainly before middle school. Generally their state was my fault; I was far from a model student.
