Interesting

[Natrushka]

Do you use this word a lot, too? I love "Interesting" - because it usually means I've now got something to think about. It's also non-committal when discussing things like parties and group events; it means I don't have to out and out say "no".

Of course, it can also mean "#$%@ off" in my house when used in the sentence "Isn't that interesting."

Same here. In fact I think this string is interesting.

Yup... along with amusing, entertaining etc etc :thumbsup:

[orange]

Interesting is one of the best words in the english language!

I use it constantly.

[Natrushka]

Interesting.






I couldn't resist.

[mind_wander]

Yeah, this is very interesting thread, where's the other people?

[thegnat]

I like interesting but it has kind of an awkward rhythm to it. I prefer amusing, entertaining, fascinating. But some things are just downright interesting.

[wise]

Yes, I like the word very much. It is the most interesting of all words. ;D

I use it all the time. It does start with INT after all.

[OneBadMother]

I do say "interesting" a lot, but I say "all right" more. It's a sort of shorthand for "sure, let's do this".

[mind_wander]

How the word "Intriguing" because I do use this word too.

My code word is "maybe" - noncommittal. Not a Yes, not a No. It allows me to process.

Strange... I use this alot too o.0

I also use 'I suppose' alot when people are trying to explain me ideas I don't care about. Like if they go on some philiosophical rant trying to make sense of things that they couldn't possibly make sense of by just pulling potential conclusions out of the air instead of having some kind of sound theory backing them. >:(

"I suppose" is a good one, too.

Noncommittal when dealing with the great unwashed masses is one of my best defenses.

"I'm curious" also seems a good candidate.

A statistical analysis of all the words on this forum would definetely be interesting.

Be sure to start a thread when you're done ;)

I use "interesting" a lot. When asked a question, I use "perhaps" quite a bit.

Working on it...

[aude]

I have a tendencies to use perplexing(perplex) a lot. Although i do use interesting here and there.

[maai]

My most used: "Hmmm" "Interesting"

Most hated word used by someone I just talked to: "Whatever"

[Ijz]

Just did a semi-automatic analysis of the "MBTI and Personality Theories" section, here are the preliminary results and they are very interesting... :D

Words proposed in this thread:

interesting 82
amusing 6
entertaining 6
fascinating 3
intriguing 2
maybe 68
suppose 17
curious 22
perhaps 45
perplexing 1

Other interesting words:

think 404
thinking 92
thought 86
know 278
knew 28
knowing 7
feel 103
feeling 48
felt 19
intj 1640
intp 219
mind 169
ijzerenhein 70 :)

I'm still working on doing it fully automatic for the whole site, should be done soon. If anyone has other "interesting" words let me know so I can include them in the analysis.

[thegnat]

The following stats were interesting to me:
84 Interesting = the word in question

68 Maybe
17 suppose
22 curious
45 perhaps
404 think
92 thought
the above are all unsure words. Think and thought have to do with the following section.

92 thinking
278 know
169 mind
all have to do with thought. know is affirmative.

however this is fascinating:
103 feel
48 feeling
19 felt
170 people have feelings? :o

[Dib]

I like the word 'interesting' and many others that have been mentioned.
'Whatever' is irritating.

I think we let in some one who should not be here. Time for a rabbit hunt :)
Dont let people see that intjs have feelings, or people are going to ask how we feel for certain situations :scared:

[OneBadMother]

'Whatever' is irritating.

Agreed. I can't put my finger on why.

[maai]

I think "whatever" implies people do not care what we think and say, they are turned off, scared. or just plain too lazy to listen. That maybe why it bothers us.

Ugh. "whatever" bothers the heck out of me. To me it's associated with the "what evah!" girly girl way of saying it.

Hmn... i picture a girly girl saying more of a "whateveRRRR".... "what evah" made me think of Cartman. XD

hehe. My onomatopoeia isn't that great when it comes to "whatever" since I *love* that word so much ;)

I'm actually guilty of 'whatever' usage, it's my too frequent resort when I don't have the energy to argue against some idiotic plan and decide I just have to let the proponent have their way, but don't want to actually condone it. It's the pissweak flag I wave when I'd rather go to war but just compromise myself for peace. I use it too when I give up on ever being understood. It's dismissive (of my own attempt to communicate). Always some pain associated with having to use it. Some cutting off of life.

However, my favourite interesting type word is "peculiar". "How peculiar." I say that a lot.
