| 1. | myself | ||
|
An idiot's substitution for the words "me" or "I". "Myself" should only be used in reflexive cases or intensive cases.
Commonly used by people who do not know the proper rules of usage for "me" and "I", or by those who were taught at an early age that "me" is a dirty word. Incorrect usage:
We need more people like myself to do this job correctly. Feel free to ask any of us, myself included. Correct usage: We need more people like I to do this job correctly. Feel free to ask any of us, me included. I made this myself. (intensive) I hurt myself. (reflexive) |

The word that should be used in all places where you used to say "me."

Only low-class people say the word "me." Allow myself to introduce myself.
