+1
Using context clues, I believe that the person who wrote that sentence did not know how to spell "raging".

Get with the program, girl!

I remember so well the first time I heard it pronounced that way! I was in the hospital 16 years ago recuperating from major surgery. A visitor I barely knew had been there nearly 3 hours. When she said she prolly needed to leave, I was so thankful she soon did.

Ain't neither! It's "probly".

Have recently seen ratchet being used, at first thought it meant wretched, but apparently not.

Apparently fast food interferes with his recycling of textiles.

The rag trade is pretty tough. There's a very slim profit margin.

How about "cultured chicken" ?

If anyone here remembers the neighbor I've mentioned who often pops out with doozies- such as "they'll get their cornmuffins," "Judaic fish," and "just eliminate lives," here's the latest:

Individual said he'd been meaning to ask me "Do you eat cultured chicken ?"
As usual, I was like this: "?"
So the person continues: "I've heard many Jewish people eat cultured chicken."
It took a few more statements before I grasped the term he was fishing for was Kosher chicken.


I guess cultured chicken is what some people eat along with the Judaic fish and the cornmuffins?!?
