I want to thank Tajh for violating a pet peeve of mine.


Sep 26, 2018, 3:38 PM

“You may not agree with his verbiage but if that’s what HE felt about the situation, then that’s how he felt,” Boyd wrote.

“Verbiage” is currently one of the most bastardized words I hear amongst those attempting to feign high intellect. In this case Tajh could have said “statement”, “wording”, or even “language”, but he certainly didn’t mean “verbiage”, which refers to an excess of words.

TL;DR summary.....verbiage isn’t a synonym for words.

Cut him some slack,


Sep 26, 2018, 3:40 PM

he's got a Clemson education.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Yeah, but he graduated in 7 months.

7.

Are you inferring that Boyd is not intelligent?


Sep 26, 2018, 3:47 PM

Supposably your a tiger fan, and for all intensive purposes I'm sure you are, but this is just sad.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgringofhonor-lakebum1-110.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

oh he’s intelligent....


Sep 26, 2018, 3:51 PM

Intelligent enough to play both sides of the argument and not chop down his Clemson honey tree..

I didn’t mean to make him an escape coat.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpgringofhonor-obed.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I doubt Tajh is taking anything for granite here.***

KB could have harvested honey from the same tree, I'm


Sep 26, 2018, 4:03 PM [ in reply to oh he’s intelligent.... ]

not sure why he felt like he had to go chop his down. You leave with some kind parting words, thanks for the opportunity, I wish everyone the best, loved my time here blah blah blah and he's got an easy fall back in the Upstate when pro football doesn't work out. At the very least Lake Keowee Dodge would hire him as a spokesperson.

my thoughts too brother.


Sep 26, 2018, 4:07 PM

Dabo clearly liked the guy. After his inevitable stints on NFL practice squads and a couple CFL seasons, he could have been the next Brandon Streeter here, but he’s completely effed that up.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpgringofhonor-obed.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


He too could have been a professional


Sep 26, 2018, 4:34 PM

graduate of Clemson, like Tajh.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

maybe he did mean an excess of words butt


Sep 26, 2018, 3:48 PM

I can't believe you are critiquing his verbiage

Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile!!!!


Listen bro, you may not like what he says or how he says it,


Sep 26, 2018, 3:49 PM

but Tajh's verbiage on the situation is on point.

the dictionary pretty much says it's other definition is basically "words"

I don’t acknowledge definitions that are a reflection

Of modern inaccuracies in usage. The word never meant that.

Now excuse me, I’m sad and not feeling gay....I need to go smoke a fagg.

I've used verbiage, but only vocally. Which is good, because


Sep 26, 2018, 4:16 PM

I would have misspelled it had I written it down. Misspelling a fancy word sort of ruins the whole high intellect ruse.

It's even made it into google...

I agree with you.

But at least, he didn’t ‘utilize’ it ‘multiple’ times.

He's trying to build a resume for ESPiN.

Verbiage's most likely definition is verbal garbage. I agree with you. Kelly's statement was quick, straight to the point and had no wasted words.
