People who use multiple words in the Random Word Association thread in F7 on a regular basis. Once in a while is fine, but some people do it all the time. It isn't called Random Word, Words or Phrase Association.

Yes it is an actual word. Guesstimate is an informal English portmanteau of guess and estimate, first used by American statisticians in 1934.

Which is a word, yes.

New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.

Tailgating for no reason is annoying, but sometimes people deserve it, like when they are going under the speed limit in the left lane.

People who signal too early, too late or not at all when making a turn and stop or slow down at the last possibly second not giving me time to keep from slamming on the brakes. Happens all day long, I drive a bus and they don't exactly stop on a dime when fully loaded.

What about people who don't signal at all and just drift into your lane? : D

Gotta agree with you on tailgating, if you're going slow, why the fuck aren't you in the right lane? I actually don't tailgate people, but can definitely understand he urge...
