Words and phrases I hate

My seasonally appropriate one is "Merry Xmas!"

We're not celebrating the birth of Malcom X, the holiday is to celebrate the birth of Christ. It's ok if you don't follow those beliefs but then stick to the generic "Happy Holidays"

HUMBUG! I don't believe in any of that crazy bible crap but I still celebrate Christmas because it's just as much fun today as when Christians made the whole thing up 2000 years ago.

Telling me to say "Happy Holidays"... why i oughtta!!! But it's Christmas so I'll give you a hug instead.

Hey you do know that Jesus Christ wasn't even born in the winter right?

You are right. December 25 was designated as a day to celebrate the Savior by the "Romanization" of Christianity. I think that day coinsided with a pagan festival. So in order for Roman citizens to get behind 'The Way', that date was no longer dedicated to paganism, but Jesus.

Sorry to get way off topic. Have a hug! Tis the season

Has anyone mentioned "epic" yet.

Epic is putting a man on the moon, not the effin' cheeseburger you got from the Daily Grind.

Epic is "The Odissy", not the four foot swell you rode past the Canadian tourists.

"epic" is what I do all day every day.:rockin:

As long as it doesn't involve hamburgers or four foot swells, I'm in no place to argue with you.

 

[ronsky]

Designations such as "not/not". That second not just seems superfluous. And even worse is that people think it looks cool so once one person uses it everyone else adopts it.

Wouldn't that be a double negative? "it's not not beer" ="it's beer"... If I am not not reading that right...

No you are missing the fact that the puncutation changes it, it is either:
(gramatical) it is not or not beer - what's the need to say it is not twice?
(mathmatical) something divided by itself = 1 - it is one beer, so we are not talking about if it is beer or not now but the quantity of beers? Huh???

Everywhere I walk, like in the store all I hear is, I know, right?

[PRE66_6TART]

I had some young guys working for me who whenever I asked how they were doing would reply "just chillin"

It annoyed the crap out of me.

I'm getting old ... Then again, teenagers always annoyed me, even when I was one

 

[VApatriot]

I'm sooooooo sick of this one - If you like your plan, you can keep your plan. Ugh!

 

[KayaBrew]

"my bad" WTF are you, a third grader?

 

[Misfit]

The term "my dude". It seems like it's mostly a NYC/jersey thing but bleeding into Philly.

 

[DrunkleJon]

One that seems to rear its ugly head this time of year.

Doorbusters.

I get it that it was witty when the person first coined it, now hearing it 15 times in 3 commercials I want to injure someone.

if any martha floccer busts my door, I'll bust their skull!


right now the word that I hate is "job". and follow that up with "boss". I don't have a magic welder, ********! it'll get done when I finish it!

 

[Rhumbline]

A friend is a commercial artist. He constantly gets bugged by clients about "is it done yet?"

His standard reply is that every minute he spends talking with them is a minute he isn't working on their project.

You'll know when it's done, because it will be sitting on your desk!

"Preventative" as in "preventative care".
It's "preventive" you flocking idiots! No wonder you can't even build a website!

Interestingly enough: preventative is actually a word, a synonym for it is preventive, but preventative is a medical term while preventive is a general term.

EDIT: it seems this way from an initial reading, but could also be more complicated than that (but preventative seems to be used by the medical community often). Basically, both are right in their own ways.

Or are you that arrogant enough that you cannot admit fault sometimes? If this doesnt apply to you then,um, my bad?

I only think it has become accepted through constant misuse. If "preventative" is a word, it's root is "preventate". As in: I want to preventate anyone from using this silly word.

 

[gometz]

I see what you mean, but what about commentator? Do they commentate on things?

 

[McGlothan]

yes we can!

 

[day_trippr]

Anything that has the word "awesome" in it.

So...over....done...

Oh - and anything Comcast has ever written...about anything...

Cheers!
