  5. general, a general word. It includes everything and almost nothing at the same time. Never specific enough to describe anything but specific enough to say, I just don’t know.

  7. he was the head of his platoon, tall, quiet and loathsome. His men hated him, but they were his men and he did with them what he pleased. That night was dark and still, just the way he liked it.

  10. Are you the general here? Are you in charge? I really must speak to the highest ranking officer in this area or establishment. Is that you? Sir, I implore you to at least answer me. At the very least, state your name and rank. Serial number, anything! I must know who you are. I must know, tell me now!

  11. i thought about myself to day, the general ins and outs, my breath, the subconscious smiles i give to strangers as i pass them on my bicycle. These are the things I am greatful for. Coming home, staying in my apartment, my horrible roommates, these are things I am not greatful for.

  13. army. vague. unspecific. totally without detail. optimism. stupidity. dorky. falsehood. not totally sure of what is to come, but full of nothing too specific. mainstream nothingness.

  14. oh man generally I find that the word general can man many things like a general of the army or a general opinion on something. see what I did there? I used generally to start off my answer. this is getting pretty off topic so let me get back to general. in general, this topic was hard as hell.

  15. I think that the way I feel might be temporary, I know it is. I’m not sure what I am saying. I am general, I guess? General- the normal state or like someone in charge. I’m not in charge. I don’t even talk much….unless I am being myself, which isn’t. Is it possible to be bad at being you? I sort of think it is.

    by rrr on 04.15.2009
  16. general is just terrible it expressing everything yet nothing at the same time. some may say it represents honor and dedication as in the army ranking but i do not see it in that sense….. ergo give me a new word.

    by cody on 04.15.2009
  17. So there are so many people that speak in general terms. That bugs me sometimes. There are plenty of times that call for one to use specifics. I don’t understand why everyone has to speak in generic terms.

    by Martha on 04.15.2009
  18. stop begging me. leave me alone. nag, nag, nag. the general idea is to poke, poke, poke. even the dog gets tired of it.

    you said you would come to bed.

    ALL RIGHT.

    just let me be and i’ll let you be.

  19. I got nothing. I like the specific. Ha. That was the word last week sometime. All that general brings up is General Lee. Nah.

  20. general lee as in general custer are general pains in my ass and as they ride their stupid horses and fight battles and win or lose in a glorious fashion and send their lesser peons to die general patton at the general store to everyone’s general satisfaction or dismay and generally speaking.

  21. General? All things are general. You can talk about a general topic or be a general in a war. You can be a typical, general kind of person who generalizes things they dont know.

  22. in general, i am terrified about the future.

    when i think about you, though — your eyes, your hands — and the fact that you’ll be right by my side, it makes it a little bit easier to deal with.

  23. “In general”….conversation stopper as what follows is usually on stauchly held opinion. The outlayers are usually more interesting… generally.

  24. generally speaking, i hate her. i hate how she is still all over him, how she still gets mad at him, how she won’t leave him alone. i hate the way she looks at him, the way she thinks she still owns him.
    i suppose, generally speaking, i just hate thinking that she does.
    still own him, i mean.

  27. General. What do you mean general? In general? Out of general? General Lee? Some army general. The General Lee. Seventies movies. I remember seventies movies with my old friend. That friend is dead now, my old friend. The general Randy Mullherin, he and I would joke about. The general. In general. In general.

  28. The general stopped, an abrupt end to all of his paced footsteps. he drew breath in, contemplating what to do with his men. He wasn’t cut up for this. Not at all. It still surprised him how far he had come…

  29. Overall, the sum of it’s parts. The crux of it all – in general. General, awfull images of Generals, in general.

  30. general joy i don’t know what to write. i generally am quick on my feet – not lately. i can’t tell whether i am just thinking about how well i can think too much (oh, law school – this is meta) or whether i can actually feel myself getting dumber. like flowers for algernon. fuck, that would be horrifying.

  31. The man paraded back and forth on his horse, commanding sweet nothings of his soldiers. What a task he has, to bull shit a death into a glorious honor. A pity.

  32. a general is someone who tells soulders what to do. In general i like apples and pares. i think i spelled pears wrong the first time. I hate television i think it has cause most of the problems we have these days. if we didn’t have television we could be more in touch with the people around us. Im even listening to the tv right now.

  33. He saw the battlefield below him. The bodies lay scattered across the red hill. So many had died, so many were lost. He turned towards the setting sun and prayed to God that he could be forgiven.

    by Zach on 04.15.2009
  34. Everything, from the trees outside, to people of all kinds.

    by Dylan on 04.15.2009
  35. The general idea is not truly a broad idea at all. It can be subjective to the person who is presenting this idea.

    by Cirra on 04.15.2009
  36. The General stood tall, taking in the scene. Carcasses, half blown apart littered the empty field and although he knew that his men would follow him anyway, he said the three words he had been dreading for months. “Sound the Retreat”.

  37. Knock knock, who’s there? A second level arcane spell to unlock doors. A classic joke. They don’t have those in French. They think they’re all hilarious. I seem pretty damn hilarious to my french friends. Originality is relative. But not really. I didn’t come up with that.

  38. General attitude at the bank was concern over how we would make all the payments to the creditors. They are going to be very upset with the outcome. Times are hard. What are you going to do – just deal with it somehow.

    by sandy on 04.15.2009
  39. Everything in life is general. Life is general. There are no specifics. Just generalities. Stereotypes, generalizations. Just general. General Patton. I’m thinking generally about the word general, and now I’m thinking of military generals. I’m generally unable to think of more things to write about, so I’m going to stop writing.

  40. in general, it was a day she’d never remember.
    more specifically, she’d never forget it.
    she wanted to remain in that place of forgetful remembrance forever, but knew she’d face it one day. she’d face it as soon as he didn’t respond.
