the oriental

Dipping one's balls in substances allows someone to sense, or in a way taste said substance. The Oriental, is dipping one side of your scrotum into Soy Sauce and the other side into pineapple juice making a sweet and salty sensation or taste. You know, on your balls.

I had a great night last night, I treated myself to the Oriental.

orientated

The illiterate way to say "oriented." While technically a word, you sound like a moron when you say it.

Annoying used car huckster in Phoenix, heard recently on the radio: "We're customer orientated..."

oriental

Politically incorrect term used in place of "Asian." Correct usage should be an adjective for things like inanimate objects, not humans.

Correct usage: There's an Oriental rug store on Derbe Drive.
or
Are you going to the Oriental market?

Incorrect usage: Is that dude oriental?
or
Orientals are known to be bad drivers.

Orientate

The word is supposed to be "orient." I'm not sure why people think orientate is the word, but it sounds like something dumb people make up to sound intelligent. They need to orient themselves with the English language.

I went to orientation to become orientated.
I'm not redneck-orientated. I know how to speak English.
Everytime I hear the word "Orientated" I want to cringe. It's as bad as hearing the word "ain't" or "warsh."
