" conversion "

 [ "converse" ]

1: When people say converse they are usually referring to Chuck Taylors or chucks which are most likely the most popular style of converse shoes. And yes my dad likes to tell those fascinating stories of how he wore them when he played basketball in highschool, often he uses visual aids(his highschool basketball team picture where everyone on the team is wearing said shoe) to illustrate this point. Yes, very cool dad. Then he regales us with stories of how he had a pair in every off the wall color and they were only ten bucks @ Yellowfront (some ancient sporting goods store). All very fascinating. Nowadays these glorious shoes are being worn by all types of people, but I wont even try to name all the "categories" of people that wear them because that's lame. Classification sucks major ass. Anyway, don't give a shit what anyone says about you wearing the damn shoes. If you like something wear it. That should be the only reason to do anything at all anyway. So whether someone says your cool for wearing them or they tell you that you have no right to do so, just tell them to FUCK OFF! because you couldn't care less what they think! Or you could just ignore them and walk away which is often to better effect.

  * e.g.,  ... Lame person: "Hey you can't wear converse, those shoes are strictly for .....(insert lame ass classification)."

1: The best shoes ever created. They can be worn by anyone, but are becoming more and more popular because Nike STOLE-err....bought Converse. If you are wearing them because you like them, you're doing the right thing. If you are wearing them because EVERYONE at your school has a pair and you want to be just like them, you are a materialistic jerk. FUCK YOU!!!

  * e.g.,  ... Non-fad follower: I love to wear converse. They are the best brand of shoes in the world. 

 [ "Conversate" ]

1: Is a word that is supposed to be a verb deriving from a mutation of "converse" and "conversation. It is in the dictionary as "non-standard except in some dialects". Some may believe this entry in the dictionary gives the word validity. It doesn't. Any slang or bastardized word embraced by popular culture could end up in the dictionary with this definition. That in no way means that it is a legitimate word. From the same school as "irregardless" or "ain't". An example was given above to attempt to legitimize this word by quoting rap songs. Ridiculous. Is "Sizzurp" a real English word too?

  * e.g.,  ... The type of sentence you might hear from someone who believes this is a word: "I don't speak English that good but I'm gonna conversate wit cha irregardless"
