I HATE " that's what she said".
Not exactly a "word or phrase", but tonight on FB, a former coworker of mine posted a question: "We're thinking we want to get a dog. Any suggestions?" Myself being the owner of (or is it owned by) a Labrador Retriever, and knowing her husband is an avid hunter - including waterfowl - I suggested a Lab immediately.
The next post? "Get a black cat! Cats are the greatest!"
Um... They're looking for a dog. Last time I checked, there was no breed of canine called "black cat". I bet you're the kind of person that hears someone is looking for a 4wd truck, and recommends a Schwinn.
A friend of mine posted to his facebook that his 5 year old son tortures him by setting up the best "thats what she said" jokes imaginable... and he cant take the bait.
My mother's side of the family is a little....redneckish. As such, grammar gets slaughtered on a regular basis. Every now and then, Mom slips and says something the way her family would.One word that gets used incorrectly around here all the time is "seen." As in, "I seen you walking your dog yesterday."
It surprises me how many people say that around here. It pisses me off every time I hear it.
"Vegetables arent healthy. They are dead. Unless you have an eggplant doing pushups."
Then you have no sense of humor.
Kidding. Sort of. It definitely has been overused, but when used properly, it can be simply amazing. (That's what she said...)
This **** happens all the time on this forum! Someone will ask a specific question, and someone else answers without paying attention. I just saw a thread where a person was asking about which Wyeast strain to use, and some idiot replies with a strain from White Labs.
Sorry, that's the end of my rant. I just can't stand when people are so eager to post, but they don't care whether they're being helpful or not.
