335 Entries for “specific”

  1. I used to be told I wasn’t specific enough in my word choice. Now, I feel as if I say exactly what I mean, and yet, it still doesn’t make a difference with you. Perhaps, the need to specify has been replaced with general apathy.

  2. ‘well it’s important to be specific….’ he said. ‘I specifically do not want to fall down that set of stairs ever again. I specifically don’t want to eat asparagus ever again and I specifically do NOT want to be having this conversation. I don’t know how much more fucking specific I can be for you.’

  3. what specifically do you want me to write about?
    Specifics are very specific.
    And you have to use specifications specialised to the topic. I quite like this site. It’s pretty awesome. I think i might bogl about it. i think i made a typo but i cant stop writing, you’re not supposed to apparently. so im just going to keep writing and everyone who reads it can kutabachimae about the typos.
    that very long K word is a naughty one by the way. probably best not to google it. Specifically.
    When you think about it, being specific is VERY useful. i use it all the time. when i’m punished for something i didnt do, and someone tells me i have to hang out the washing, i tihnk evil thoughts in my head about how i can still do what was asked of me but do something radical instead which i cant specifically be punished for. Like when i decided i was going to hang out the washing, but not on the clothesline. Thats right, i hung out all the dresses, all the work clothes, all the undies, all the lacy bras around the garden, in no specific order. they were hung up. nobody told me i had to hang them on the clothesline, specifically.

    “be more specific” i told them.

  4. Prolific; a siren desires specific. Inhibit the neurons you’re firing; terrific.

  5. that’s not a very specific word, specific. But, specifically, I think it’s quite silly to be using this site. I think it should specifically be a one worded version of twitter. Where people are only allowed one word. Just one word, nothing more.

    Man I type fast. I guess I’d also better say that the new facebook sucks, and ODOYLE rules.

  8. “Specifically,” the general said.

  9. there are specific things
    everything
    your body
    you thoughts
    are always
    specific is nothing
    but defines all
    all things
    this is hard
    blue
    green
    hard
    why are we always so specific
    why must we focus on everything
    maybe it is beautiful to focus on specifics
    maybe it is needed
    but where is the line
    what defines specific

  10. Work from home; three or four clients, $9k gross per month and ten pounds lighter within the next 60 days; time to finish the book by June 2010; high profile publisher for J’s novel and an option with the studio; straight A’s for the kids, promotion for husband; peaceful slumber for me. Specific enough for you?

  11. It’s a simple specific thought that triggers the emotions. The sad emotions that you just want to go away. That one specific thought…not always the best thought.

    Angela
  12. I couldn’t be specific about how I felt about her, I couldn’t tell her what direction I wanted to take it, or exactly what I want. The only thing I could tell her was how much I loved her, and how, no matter what, I wanted to be close to her.

    Zeyda
  13. And he hated specifics, hated the judgment involved. Of all the things, he didn’t want to be the one. He wasn’t for being singled out, oh no. He wasn’t even there.

  14. Be specific. That’s all I ever heard in nursing school. Be specific. Go into detail. If it’s not charted, it didn’t happen.

    Jessica
  15. i dont really think of anything. i belief in the stars adn the moond.. its the only thing that i actually see.. i dont really have to see it to believe it.. but feelings just dont always cut it for me. only when i am licking a popcicle. or eating the sugar from his lips. tell me when it all ends. why my balls arent between my legs but on my chest.

  16. Some people need everything to be specific in their life. Me being one of those. I love everything to be in a certain order and like to have it nice and pretty. But now that I think about it, it’s probably not healthy to have EVERYTHING like that. You need some change in your life. A little umpphh. I need to get out there and experience things. I need to LIVE.

  17. Specifically you
    There are so may fish in the sea
    But specifically you
    You make me
    Specifically me
    Tremble in fear
    This particular case is so strange

  18. to try and be specific i would call it cognitive dissonance it is what keeps me up far too late, what makes me wonder about the past and the future what holds me and cradles me into restless dreams

  19. [At the video store…]

    Uhm, I need help finding a movie. It’s this romantic film I saw a long time ago and this guy picks up a hooker to take her on a date in some kind of ball; The girl has red hair.

    Can you be more specific?

    Uhm, she has curly, red hair?

  20. Being specific is really important if you want to get your point across. Whether its directions or telling a story, specific details are needed to allow your audience see your ideas and thoughts a lot better. Being specific really just makes things a lot easier, for you and the people you talk to. It gets your point across.

  21. What should we be specific about? Shoul we be specific about what we say, think, write?What we mean or what we see? Or should we be specific about what other people say in a worl of political correctness? Is it unforgiveable to be wrong about what someone else said?

  22. fsepcific is a very odd word. it makes me think about the differences in how we all find things to be. like something can be specific or it can be general. its kinda weird. it doesnt make much sense. what makes one thing specific and another general? its odd, because none of us know where the line is drawn. why is that? it doesnt make sense as to why specific is considered importent

  23. It’s good to be this way. Unless of course you’re dealing with a situation where being anything but serves your purpose. Something like crime, law, or marriage. I pretty much didn’t do it, I was in the area when it happened, I remember SOMETHING. Sure, I really do… like her a lot. All quotes of a man in need of generalities.

    I Achsen
  24. People tend to have my speciific reasons on why they like each other. They’re humor, ideas, thoughts, likes and dislikes play strong factors. If their traits are too much, then people would either diagree or hate each other. y

  25. “I wont be specific, but he is basically bleeding into his brain. We have to operate.”
    “Is he, uh, will he be okay?” She managed to say through her tears.
    “We will do the best we can.” He set his hand on her shoulder, smiled sympathetically, and left.
    The noise, the sirens, the people faded into the background. She felt completely alone, useless and helpless. She couldn’t loose him.
    “Syd? Hey don’t worry, he will be fine” He put a hand on her back. She turned to face her ex lover.
    “He has to be.”

  26. “You’ve got to be more specific when you talk, man.”

    I always say that. I have so little control over so many things in life. I require proper grammar and words in context when spoken to.

  27. “Be specific.” She demanded, swallowing the lump in her throat.
    “It was one night, Oh Dani, god. Fuck. I am so sorry!”
    “Get the fuck out.”
    “No, Dani, Please”
    “Get Out” She screamed
    “Fuck. Can I have my shirt?”
    “GET THE FUCK OUT!” she pushed him out, slamming the door on his face. She sunk to the floor, quietly sobbing.

  28. Specific. There’s noting specific about it. We’d been talking for days about the technicalities – details, the minutiae, everything that was anything and still, and ever so still, we hadn’t gotten anywhere. The devil is in the details, but maybe there’s a bit of God there too, and that’s why everything is so fucked up now

  29. somewhere, something is out there. that thing is specific. but when it’s specific, you can also describe it generally. but then that could mean a totally different thing. if it’s general, it doesn’t mean the same thing as specific. when you’re specific, you’re special. when you’re special, you’re you. and that’s the most amazing thing in the world. you.

  31. specifically, they were talking about his disease. the one that was making everyone around him sick. but not just anybody. only the people with rounder noses, the quiet introverted ones. the ones who stayed in on saturday nights playing board games. they were all the first to go. as far as they knew, there was no cure.

  32. “could you be more specific?” they asked her. she shook with tears. she didn’t know what to say; how else could she describe it but a glittering fireball, floating, falling out of the sky?

    jess
  33. I love specificity. I love detail. I want to know the ins and outs of everything I encounter, every single day. I obsess about specifics. But somehow in doing that I am able to maintain my sanity.

    Jenny
  34. one specific thing. not a grand view, not a panorama. The little worms in the dirt at your feet. No, the grains of dirt, the little molecules. Look to the ground.

    mickylee
  35. What’s specific about being you? The brambles in your hair and the roses on your toenails? I saw you last Saturday at the supermarket, but you never noticed, even as I called your name. Who are you anyways? No one specific.

    Amber
  36. you specifically said that i was your forever girl. you specifically said you loved me more then any other girl. you specifically said i was so sweet and you specifically said i was a good person. so why did you say specifically say you’d never date me again?

  39. specific? be specific about what? specific has 8 letters which is two more than six, which is the amount of money i have in my wallet. Specific rhymes with pacific.

  40. I am a very specific person, in fact a little too bit. I am always told that when I tell a story just to get to the point. I have to be specific. I mean, you have to give the whole story, you know lay out a complete description. Being specific is very important to me and it is just how I am created to be.
