That's a definition of a word as a general part of speech in any language. I'm talking about a word in English.

Except the phrase was 'Ain't ain't a word', but it is a word, but it's not a proper word. Stop trying to argue, it's a word.

Ain't is more of a Colloquial word, technically it is a word, but its not a proper English Word, you wouldn't get any points for it on Countdown.

If we all know what it means, doesnt that make it a word? Just becuase it isnt in the dictionary doesnt mean we cant use it...or that its existence can be denied.

I kind of directed attention away from the subject of the thread before someone said something they'd regret about the subject.

Besides, this is Bartiforums. There are no limits to our off-topicness.
