a whole nother
Is there such a thing as a "nother?" Can you have a half nother? It is rather irksome that people will use this instead of "another whole ______", or "a whole other ______" whatever that blank shall be. Mis-use example: "That's a whole nother topic I don't want to get started on!" (complete with preposition ending the sentence...) Sheesh
