I'm a Malaysian and I'm not really familiar with some English vocabulary and doesn't even give a damn about its meaning as long as it sounds good and make people say "He sounds f*cking smart".
"sort of looked like one of us"
I'm an undergraduate now and I have to gave lots and lots of presentation. One of the important part of a presentation is the introduction where it can goes like this...
"Good afternoon to [insert lecturer's name] and my fellow friends.."
or to make it sound nerdier
"A very good afternoon to our beloved [insert lecturer's name] and my fellow comrades.."
w-wait a sec, what's wrong with the second sentence? Other than it's useless addition of word it have a word that should not be used ... unless you're one of the member of the Communist party!!!
According to the dictionary comrades mean
"A fellow member of a group, especially a fellow member of Communist Party"
(Sources:Dictionary.com)
What the...?
So the next time you trying to pimped your introduction word with some non-everyday word, think again...
"a comrade shirt"
P/S: On the bright side, you can still use the word comrade because it also means companion or friend.
