Jan. 4th, 2011 03:06 pmAnother one that's bothering me.
Where in the world did "creeper" come from? Someone whose behavior is creepy is a creep. Why the extra syllable? I didn't notice this one before last year -- mostly around Mr. Schuester's actions in the Glee fandom (which I don't see as creepy, but can accept that others do).
And it's jibe (or Britishly gibe) if two things don't mesh, NOT jive. That's a dance. (Yeah, I've done that one before, but I've been seeing it again recently. *sigh*)
