exemplify

Ah the word exemplify, in all reality I thought it was a pretty easy and common word in the English language. OBVIOUSLY NOT.

I had a woman come up to me at work and use this sentence...
"I sure don't want to not give him an exemplify"

First off, she used a double negative which drives me insane.
Next, the woman standing next to her just shook her head and said "oh hell yes honey, he ain't gonna want no exemplifying"

I was absolutely puzzled by what the hell they were talking about so I had to ask...
"what's an exemplify exactly"

"well sweet cheeks, it's when you find your mans done cheat on you and you go and kick him square in the balls"

really? because I though "exemplify" meant to give an example of something...



the english language is over as we know it
