  2. I love when you say my name. Not just “you” or “sweetie”, but Emma. I love when I know you’re thinking specifically of me, talking only to me, loving only me.

    Emma
  3. Why so specific? I’ve never known you to be very particular about your taste in ice cream. Why right now? What have you got against ice cream sandwiches? I thought you liked them! Or, at the very least, better than drumsticks. I’ve never seen anyone so particular about what they wanted to eat for a frozen treat. I don’t know why you decided you were only capable of eating mint chocolate chip, but… whatever you want.

  4. be more specific. if i knew how to be more specific, i would have been. obviously i have no idea what i’m talking about, so how can i be more specific?!

  5. be specific
    and let me speak livid
    because your ambiguous is making me sick
    i am listless
    i am breathing dream dust
    if you must be so

  6. Picking through the stacks, turning over every book, which one was she looking for? Soft rays of light cascaded down on her wavy brown hair from the window above the shelves behind her. Will it be that one? or perhaps the worn blue one? but no, it was neither. From my spot at the cash register, I watched her, my head resting on my hand, she’d been in here for awhile, day after day. With this persistence, she wasn’t merely browsing through the stacks, there was something she has been searching for, maybe she’d been looking all her life.

  7. “Can you hand me that thing? You know the thing that does the stuff and it’s some color,but yea you know the thing right? It’s in the place with the other thing”

    “Can you be more specific?”

  8. a word that means to the point only one kind a certain brand very particular you know what you want take nothing less to the letter

  9. You’re so specific. And this is a different you , by the way. About a different boy. Everything about you is so perfect. Everything about you is so different and I know everything. I want everything you do, with the little details thrown in. Liking someone or loving someone I should say, is the most horrible thing in the world. It opens you up, and they can see everything. It opens you up and they take everything.

  10. don’t be. there’s nothing specific about specificity. specificity. my new favorite word.

    Elissa
  11. Why can’t we be specific and focused, generalizing makes less knowledge available to more people. I want to be able to ask someone that knows, not everyone that knows a little.

    Molly
  12. what is specific? What is to specify? is explaining something overly detailed too specific? Are people capable of being specific without making someone feel unintelligent? What would be considered specific if you had to specify a specific situation?

    Crystal
  13. Specifics are too complex.
    You ask for specific? I give you details of me, bits of my life that you didn’t want to hear.
    But sage-girl, I want specific you, not just the basics. I want your everything.
    Hey-
    Tell me just a few more stories? It’s not too specific, for you, for me…

  14. lord
    of specific
    high and specific
    wandering through the branches
    to find the certain thing
    that certain thin that makes you twing
    that twing that sends you into oblivion
    doing it is never by luck or chance
    it is all staged for the better for your choice
    for your world to make sense to your satisfaction

    sarah bell
  15. That certain one. Sometimes its hard to specify, sometimes its hard to describe, and sometimes specific is just darn hard to pronounce. That particular one, not any other. That’s just the way I want it. As I say. Specific.

  16. She was looking for something specific. She walked down the aisles, scoured the entire store, walked the city, going from store to store… all for what? No one knew. Each and every Saturday she left her home and bothered the urban setting with her eccentricity and randomness. No one knew what she was looking for.

    No one knew, of course, but her.

  17. being specific is too difficult for most humans. they are slow stupid people and being specific is a waste of time to them. if you get the vague idea, you get the main idea. Only to some.

    Savannah
  18. Specifically, and technically, we only sing when we want to.
    And how can you turn back a song,
    That comes straight from the soul?

    Specifically, you are my love,
    My love could never die.

  19. This is all I ever hear from my professors. Be specific. Write an image. Image image imagine imagism. Symbolism symbiotics symbols images imagine an image but BE SPECIFIC. Nobody wants to read your fluff. Get to the point and get out.

    Leah Bowers
  20. Out in these hills and valleys, keeping secrets was not such a slog- prohibition was rife in the cities, sobriety numbing the creativity of a generation- the Moonshine that Old Jim Tucker was a-brewin had suffcient specific gravity that a common mouse’d weigh damn near the same as an elephant (in gravity terms). Just had to hope the rivets of the still would hold this time.

  21. to be specific, you must go into as much detail as possible. one time i was very specific in describing what i ate for breakfast. i had oatmeal with chunky peanut butter, cinnamon, bananas, and brown sugar mixed with it. it was delicious and i love oatmeal.

    chase
  22. Specific is what my feelings never are. It is what my dreams avoid, especially when I just awake. Specific is what the solution to the problem isn’t and the words to describe my foggy confusion can’t be. Specifically distant. Specifically vague. Specific isn’t.

    Colleen Schilly
  23. specific. hm.. what can i say? to be honest, or to be specific about a topic i can tell you this. i have no idea what i want in life. none. at all. i do whatever i want. but not in a good way. i just dont know. i try. specifically in everything. i try to please who ever i meet. to make them happy. but what the fuck is ever going to make me happy? i have no idea. i want to know. i wish i knew.

  25. What exactly do you mean? What exactly do you want? Who are you talking about? Specifically, what do you mean? Does it even matter? What is the point being specific when you can simply be vague. Be vague, and no harm can come except for the annoying phrase: Be specific!

  26. specific.
    I specifically don’t remember this word! :)
    Glad I decided to do this. <– not specific.
    But, I still am glad I did it. :)
    oneword.com is getting better by the day. :)

  27. Sometimes, you need things to be specific. Especially when you’re trying to make a decision. Specificity makes things special. To be a certain kind, and not any other. I think morning isn’t good for thinking tasks. I like specificity most of the time.

  28. a

  29. I like to be as specific as possible when I explain things to others. I wish that more people would be specific when explaining things to me that I don’t understand. I need as many examples as possible in order to do what they want me to do the right way. Specificity really helps me out and I appreciate it a lot.

  30. “Be specific, don’t be broad. Tell me of your wildest dreams, your deepest desires,” the doctor said. “What do you see when you close your eyes, or when you dream at night?”

  31. Specific is interesting word. Some of the most commonly used words are unspecific- beauty, pain, pleasure, love. Beauty cannot be defined at all, there is beauty everywhere according to the general definition. Life is beautiful, people are beautiful, women and men, things are beautiful.

    Marissa Kreutzfeld
  32. Be specific.

  33. The thing wasn’t just there – it was, well, IT. Nobody could put it more succinctly – there was simply a thing that couldn’t be any other thing. And it was beautiful – oh, yes: a perfect sculpture of rose against lime; a stunning example of the definite.

    Jasper
  34. There was one specific rule we all had to follow. Not following it would lead us to a bad situation. It turns out I decided to break that rule. After my whole life of being told not to, I finally decided to give it a try. That maybe wasn’t such a good idea, but oh well.

    Abbie
  35. nothing specific pops out to me on this word :)

    Ramos
  36. concise, to the point, one choice.

    Rebekah
  37. Specific needs of my life: Books, my computer, some food, some water, a bed, and fanfiction, and the dreams which I want to come true. I don’t need much to survive. But those are the specifics of my life. :D

  38. i’m not particular about specifics, but when it comes to work–writing and translation–i tend to be specific. but then being specific is different from being particular, i think. but being specific is always worth trust.

    Kaorita
  39. details make my head spin. I hate being specific because I have such a god awful memory I feel pressure to write here! ah it is the same feeling as if someone were to ask me to go into deeper detail and be specific. Ah. I actually do enjoy writing though. Just not like this.

    Claire
  40. specific things, specific times, places, needs, words, thoughts. In place, on time, a specific way. Don’t be that way, don’t be so together. Too together. A hassle. Specificity. That’s not a word. I’m here, you’re there. Where? Not somewhere, there.
    Specific.
