I heard it used within the context of an unexpected pregnancy today.

I've moved on to "mock-guffaw" already.

Once a country music artist has promoted the use of a phrase or word, rigor mortis had already set in.

See also, "badonkadonk".

New and improved...

Can't be new and improved at the same time...

"and what not".....what the the hell does that mean? It is not the same as "and so forth", which I understand to be a continuation of the preceding concept. "and what not" is just filler to desperately keep you engaged in what is probably a boring soliloquy by a drip.

Irregardless....hu? "I will go there, irregardless"....combining irrespective and regardless. This annoyance has been adopted by some dictionaries, since it is used incorrectly so regularly (irregularly?).

Am not fond of the misuse of the word "real", either in place of "really". "It was a real good concert" or "I think you look real nice". There is even a magazine called Real Simple. Don't you mean REALLY Simple? Nobody noticed that this was weird before they went to print?

FuglyStick 07-23-2010 05:03 PM

"unAmerican"

You stupid fucking jizzmonkeys.

Oh, and if we're including words as well, "sheeple". A sure indicator of a fucking moron.

Yes, yes it can.

You can manufacture something shitty. You can manufacture something a bit less shittier than it's older version. It would be new, and improved. That statement is sound and relevant.

yournamehere 07-27-2010 02:44 PM

Besides, it's better than the new unimproved shit we're used to!

Dunno, that bullshit word plus the use of a Gadsden flag is often equated to Real Americans.

uncle phil 07-27-2010 03:25 PM

you remember the gadsden purchase?

lemme guess, college graduate...

"___ loves the cock."

Written on walls all over Iraq and most of the rest stops up and down I-95 outside Fort Bragg.

I think its a military thing.

After my time, I reckon.

No one ever accused military personnel of being overly creative or original with their smack talk.

"Man up"

For two reasons:

1) The construction itself: to tell someone to do something "up" is by default mildly annoying. Own up, fess up, pony up are just a few more examples.

2) As I mentioned in another thread, to challenge a male to "be a man" or to—ahem—"man up" is in most cases meant to castigate or otherwise manipulate said male or said male's behaviour. It's as though his status as a male is on trial, and that he might lose it or otherwise be penalized if he doesn't shape up. It seems to be based on some ambiguous or otherwise trivial measure of manhood, and that a male must "crank it up" if he finds himself in a position deemed undesirable by those judging him.

Perhaps it would be more understandable if there were a manscale of some kind. Put it on a measure of 1 to 10 or something. That way we could tell a male that he needs to bring his 4 up a few points to a minimum of 6, a socially acceptable baseline. You may call this the Baraka Scale (my manhood being a constant 10). Then—and only then—would it be acceptable to say something like, "Dude, man up! You're being a total Baraka 4. LOL!"

* * * * *

Also, can we please put a moratorium on naming non-software iterations of things using decimal places?

It is no longer edgy for books, conferences, workshops, etc., to have versions such as 2.0, or 3.0. It's not cool anymore. It's not like you're going to patch a book and come out with version 2.13b, for fuck's sake.

We get it. Software and stuff is mainstream and leading edge...information age, rapid change, blah, blah, blah. I don't care. Let's move on.

Plan9 08-02-2010 01:54 PM

I tell my girlfriend to "man up" sometimes when she's totally being like her crotch organ.

/social progress

Baraka_Guru 08-02-2010 02:28 PM

As an aside, I totally love it when women tell me to suck their balls.

Plan9 08-02-2010 02:34 PM

Honestly, I'd prefer it if they came up with something more anatomically correct... "gargle my labia," perhaps.

Baraka_Guru 08-02-2010 02:42 PM

"Lap my slot."

Plan9 08-02-2010 02:59 PM

Yeah, but the problem with shine 'em-ons like that is that in some cases I'd be more than accepting of the invitation.

I get the feeling women very rarely would welcome a chance to orally caress my coinpurse. How one-sided!

uncle phil 08-02-2010 03:21 PM

"OOOH-RAWW!!!"

Plan9 08-02-2010 03:25 PM

Hooah.

Baraka_Guru 08-02-2010 03:39 PM

Nee-nerrrr, nee-nerrr, nee-nerrr!

Dude, I know. Women should totally loosen up.

Whenever my father says this, it causes my mother instant insanity.

(She raised three boys and three girls.)

Plan9 08-02-2010 06:03 PM

Dumper, pooper, and anything else Eden / Fugly / Jazz use to refer to the backside of a woman.

It's disgusting. Nothing about a bowel movement turns me on. I'm just old school like that.

And it makes me wonder if trashy girls refer to well-endowed men as toters of "huge pissers."

LordEden 08-02-2010 06:14 PM

Dooder. You like that word don't you plan?

I liked when Fugly's User Tag was "Duke of the Dooder".

Plan9 08-02-2010 06:15 PM

You sonuvabitch!

FuglyStick 08-02-2010 08:06 PM

Hey now, sounds like someone's grinding the gears in the ol' turd cutter.

Baraka_Guru 08-02-2010 08:07 PM

I could really go for a sinker in the stinker right now.

Plan9 08-02-2010 08:28 PM

Hell, I'd just shoot Eden and Fugly in front of the barn.

...

And you best check yourself, Baraka. I know where you live.

Sue 08-02-2010 08:49 PM

"I'm so dead," as in "I'm so tired/exhausted."

Speaking of which, I really don't want to cook right now, but I have to... /me goes stumbling off to the kitchen...

FuglyStick 08-03-2010 10:35 AM

"hater"

A term bandied about by people with indefensible positions as an attempt to discredit those with legitimate positions. I don't "hate" you, moron; I'm just pointing out your obvious shortcomings and idiocy. Don't like criticism? Don't be a fucking douche.

Ourcrazymodern? 08-03-2010 10:40 AM

What if I want to be a fucking douche?

Haters gonna hate.... :shakehead:

TNJ4555 08-16-2010 01:00 PM

"Think outside the box"
means: the same old ideas that didn't pan out the first time

"Don't worry about it"
means: I'm sweating bullets because whatever I'm not supposed to worry about is absolutely guaranteed to f**k up thoroughly

"No problem" means: problem

Baraka_Guru 09-29-2010 06:51 PM

"nickel and dimed"

Please...enough already. The economy's shit. Times are tough. I get that....but seriously...enough.

"to tell the truth"

Amaras 09-30-2010 12:39 PM

My bad.
Ugh!
What's wrong with "my error" or "my mistake"?

Lindy 09-30-2010 01:52 PM

The term "bad boys" except when referring to, well, bad boys. The other day we were at a little neighborhood eatery and when the waiter came to remove the no longer needed plates he said "Let me clear these bad boys off your table." Later, after ordering pecan pie it was "I'll get that bad boy right out to you!" :confused:
I think we got cheated, because he took two bad boys away, but only brought one back.:grumpy: Then when he picked up my credit card it was "I'll just grab this bad boy and be right back." Some folks just try way too hard to be "with it." Sheesh.

Pearl Trade 09-30-2010 02:11 PM

"Real talk" or "straight talk."

I hear all the gangsters saying "real talk" and "straight talk" these days, and sometimes they give it a little flair by clapping their hands when they say each word.

I'd do you a solid for either of those alternative phrases.

Just stick to "excuse me".

blahblah454 10-02-2010 04:02 PM

"I will start tomorrow"
"I will do it tomorrow"

Anything where people leave things off until the mythical "tomorrow". Give me a fucking break, if you were serious about doing it you would start it now.

sweet release 10-04-2010 06:47 AM

i hate the phrases,

1. " how are you feeling?"

2. " it will be okay", or some other variation of it.

3. " did you see that?" when it's quite obvious you have as you were in the same room
4. " don't worry"

i will come back to this thread if i think of more.

right now that's it

Plan9 10-04-2010 06:50 AM

"Very truly I tell you,"

It's said over and over in the friggin' Bible by Our Lord and Savior.

uncle phil 10-04-2010 07:25 AM

"that's so gay..."
