ridic

I am opposed to the changes on the basis many, such as lol, ridic and thanx, are merely abbreviations.

However, Brahim, Ridic, and Jukic (2015) argued that as contingent reward leadership is transactional, it is based on a system of rewards and penalties, and may not offer sufficient incentive to inspire and motivate followers to engage beyond the basics.

But I was intrigued to read that 6,500 new words - many of them, such as lolz and ridic, spawned by text expressions - are now accepted Scrabble point scorers.

These include obvs (obviously), ridic (ridiculous), lolz (laughs), shizzle (form of US rap slang), cakehole (mouth) and dench (excellent).

"Let's not forget this is part of the main road linking the UK's two major capital cities and it is a ridic ulous situation that there is an effective 40mph speed limit on those stretches."

It's a fiendish idea for a show that makes all of those 'Where do you see yourself in five years' time?' questions a bit ridic. Tonight, four wannabe fashionistas want to work for high street chain Joy.
