Hi Guys, OK -- when I was growing up & in school, the word "bust" meant bosom or a statue of the upper portion of the body. That's more or less from memory and without looking it up in the dictionary for precise info. If something didn't work anymore, it was broken or if you caused it to not work any more then you broke it. You didn't BUST down a door or BUST out of a locked room. About the only time you would use the term "bust" was when gambling and you "went bust". So why now is the term "broke" never used? It seems that BUST has taken it's place. I was watching a Modern Marvels repeat about Ice Road Trucking and if a truck fell through the ice it didn't break through, it BUST through! We were watching something on PBS last week and the voice over said the same thing. Instead of breaking out some windows, the windows were busted out. I'm sorry but that's just plain WRONG! I know, I know -- language is a living thing and changes all the time. This is one of those times when I just get my back up and refuse to "go with the flow" -- LOLOL. There are loads of other language and grammar changes that don't bother MOI. Using bust instead of broke is NOT one of them ;-)!!! Rant Mode off CiaoMeow >^;;^<
