Hey, I 'd like to support Ann here--I enjoy playful language usage a bit
more than regimented language correctness driven by personal linguistic
peeves--if one of your peeves has been peeved, take 3 deep breaths, spin on
your heel, jump twice, then shout, It's just play :-). I promise you'll
then feel better. :-) Cheers, Christine

grrrrr....
I feel your pain... however, I think "minty" evolved on ebay because
there are certain phrases you can't use
on ebay in a title...
e.g. I can't say "as new" but I can say "minty" - they actually took
down one of my auctions when
i used the phrase "as new" in my title !
so get off my back you guys - I'll try not to use anymore "trendy" new
speak..
gimmyabreak!
It's actually pretty funny that a guy in his 30s is sawing off on you for
your use of young people's language.

replying to with the more detailed stuff about ebay, I believe is a teensy
bit older.)
