Not to sound anal-rentive, but tecnically gauge isn't slang but a standard of measurement. It is used quite often in electronics, my field of work, which is why I find it's improper use rather irritating.

gauge –noun
the thickness or diameter of various, usually thin, objects, as the thickness of sheet metal or the diameter of a wire or screw.

how does that not make it slang? perhaps the definition of slang would've been better.

Some of the posts in this thread make me think some of you live in a cave in the bible belt. Or maybe you're stuck in the 50's?

That is an opinion, not a fact. Personally, I don't feel that I have to stick doughnut-sized (and shaped) chunks of wood through my ears to express myself, and those who do are just asking to be criticized.

Be honest, if I walked up to you one day (as a complete stranger) wearing platform boots, broken glasses, and a chearleading outfit (I'm a guy btw), would you seriously not have any urge to judge me? When you intentionally make yourself look abnormal, you are going to be criticized, so if you can't take the criticism, then why do it in the first place?


Btw, saying that what people say is unimportant, then proceeding to post your own opinions makes you sound a little egocentric...

Mmmm... donuts.
