I am mad about (NOT on) ... -ing

I have a horror of sounds strange to me; I �d never use it.

Also: I abhor, I loathe Thumbs Down ; I �m really into ... Thumbs Up

As for �current � usage and slang:

It really pisses me off; that makes me want to puke Dead
(That) is so phat; cool; awesome, brilliant, mega, smashing, da bomb Big smile
