Nah...Urban Dictionary has it right.
should of
What idiots say instead of should have. It makes most people want to stab the offender to death.

How 'bout no?
I know what you said. I know what you meant. Your joke was tortured and overlong, and reading it again would only redouble a painful, unfunny experience. Your arrogant defense shows me you know it was a poor attempt at humor, and suggests it was still the best a troglodyte like you could muster. That you immediately resort to insults, yet still are willing to overexplain something written at a third grade level (however insincere the offer was) only supports the conclusion that you are insecure about your own ability to communicate coherent thought.
Have a nice day, and maybe spend some time in self-reflection before raging at others online?
Again, it's worth repeating... Your "joke" would have been funnier if you had simply said, "The Bengals are more like the Bangles than an NFL squad".

As for your 'again'...No it wouldn't. It 'would have' boring and entirely devoid of creativity. Literally.
This even worse than when I thought you had just misread it. Your need for your brand of wit leaves no room for that of others to the point that you feel the need to attack it with your own brand of arrogance, that you are to dimwitted to realize, while trumpeting your anger at being rebuked for it.
LOL.. You are funny though, just not in the way you might like.

Or how about when people don't know when words are supposed to be separate.
overexplain vs over explain or over-explain

This.

there, their, they're. Its not that important to get all bent out of shape. Far more important matters to get bent outta shape at. i.e. the price of gas, taxes, politics, religion, Beaker's mom, etc.

I'd like an explanation for this as well. Now I say it in my head and wonder if I'm pronouncing my own team's name wrong.

Just say the first part like the name Ben and add gals after it. The 80's band is pronounced as BANG-les.

No. His way was funnier.

It's definitely, not defiantly.

This has turned into a hate thread and I will NOT allow you're words too dis-inspire me. I have alot of opinions on this matter, but others would like to keep it they're way in this discussion, and I two have given up on ya'll.
EDIT: I just reread this, and it makes no since.

This would of been better if you had used brevity and just said "improper words can be funny as well".

English Teacher here, you all ain't as smart as you think you are.... So stop trying to tell people how to post messages with correct grammer.

Like the name "Ben"? That's the sound you make when saying the first syllable of "Bengals"? I don't really think that I know a single person who actually says it like that. I've been paying attention to it since the whole "bangles" fiasco, and that is exactly how everyone says it.

Bang-gulls > bing-gals, and the rest of the city agrees with me whether they want to or not.

As long as we're on the subject of pronunciation, it's not pronounced "D-Fense" but "Duh-Fense".
