Ha! I had a regional manager who used that phrase constantly - every word uttered after he said that line was a boldface fucking lie. It was an instant bullshit detector for that fool.

On a similar note whenever someone starts a sentence with "To tell you the truth..." or "I'll be honest here..." I'll immediately think their next phrase will be anything BUT the truth.

Ending any word with "-izzle" or "-iznit"
Misuse of "Literally" (comedian David Cross has a chunk on this)

Oh, I miss UsTwo.

He's still around, he is posting on the site in those swampbogs we call TPolitics and TParanoia.

God Bless his Soul/Bless his heart.

phrases like "phrases that should be taken out behind the barn and shot" should be taken out behind the barn and shot.

they're like wearing an oklahoma feed & seed hat to sunday brunch in brooklyn.

I love it when you talk dirty.

Unique

"You're fairly unique, but if you want to be more unique, you need to do something quite different."

No.

Unique: being the only one of its kind.

Please stop modifying unique this way. It's unique or it's not.

How many wheels are on a unicycle?

My ex-husband called me a: Boring ordinary Eccentric.

He didn't understand why I laughed at his declaration.

Thank you.

Irony is elusive

Here, I'll put it in a more digestible form for you, rb--
nuttinbutthetruthasfarasiknow.org

it is.

So is your linky?

A little inside joke between me and Mr. Boy.

ahhh...enjoy your chocolate cake, then.

Can we put "shock 'n' awe" to rest now?

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

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

You guys are a bunch of fun sponges.

rolling thunder?

okay...''fap fap fap" has got to go...far far away.

This utterance is so juvenile,that
when I see someone use it:
I imagine they have attached a playing card to a spoke of their bicycle with a clothespin.

Egg zackly!:thumbsup:

Okay, I may be the most guilty person in the world on this one, but until they come up with an alternative onomatopoeia, I'm probably going to continue using it.

you're sick, fug... :)

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?

"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.

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.

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.

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

/social progress

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

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

"Lap my slot."

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!

"OOOH-RAWW!!!"

Hooah.

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



Dude, I know. Women should totally loosen up.
