Posted: 4/9/2008 6:04:21 PM | "Things always happen in threes."
Not true. Things always happen in ones. Sometimes, when three "ones" happen in a row, it SEEMS like things happen in threes, that's all.
"He's not going to win any POPULARITY CONTESTS."
Where, exactly, are they holding these "popuarity contests"? I've never seen one, have you? Whoever's winning these alleged contests can't really be that popular; you never hear about them.
"Don't make the same mistake twice."
I really question the validity of this one. People assume it means two mistakes, when it should mean three. Because first 1) you make a mistake, then 2) you make the same mistake, and finally 3) you make the same mistake twice. | |

Posted: 5/5/2008 4:21:37 AM | I hate "My bad". Though, to be fair, at least it means that the person saying it has acknowledged his mistake.
Fine, don't say hi!
Okay, I see how it is.
The _____ from hell
Why you gotta .....?
"Do you know what time it is?" accompanied with a point to the wrist. Great, another mime college graduate. A degree from Marcel Marceau University! I can understand the question; I don't need a visual aid. Do I point to my crotch when I ask you, "Where's the bathroom?" | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 9:15:45 PM | We have a store here that is called Cum and Go
I had a friend that used to work at a convenience store called "The In and Out." No joke!
As they say in Vermont: "there you have it!"
Remember, avoid clichés like the plague!

I don't often find myself laughing out loud at anything I find in the forums but THAT was a moment!
And for the record, some of the pet peeves that come to my mind are "oopsie", "this is true", and "co-conspirator"... | |

When giving an example the person says "I. E." instead of "for example"
I despise:
those who taught someone that i.e. means "for example" when it means "that is". e.g. means "for example".
I hate the Americanism of "I could care less" which tells me that you care at least a little, and given the context in which it is used, is nonsense. The phrase is "I couldn't care less". | |

Posted: 5/12/2008 4:47:45 AM | "Mid-air."
This is really stupid. Is there another part of air, besides the "mid" part?
"Kick butt."
What a powerful phrase. Either say "kick a s s" or don't say it. One or the other!!!
"Bull c r a p."
See comment for "kick butt."
"That's what you think."
Yeah, that's why I said it, genius.
"Because I said so."
"Don't argue with me."
"Drop the subject."
Uh huh. No logic to back up their stupid rules. | |

Posted: 6/7/2008 5:33:27 PM | Black and white printer
~the page is white: the print is black~
And the printer is usually a grayish-beige.
take a dump
You don't take it, you leave it!
Take it or leave it
Hate is not a family value:
For people who like to advertise their moral superiority on the bumper of their car/minivan/SUV. Translation: "I'm making the world a better place, one red light at a time."
"LOL" does have a ring of phoniness to it. "Murse" and "guy liner": never heard those, and I hate 'em already. "Got some guy liner in your murse?" "Yeah, and I also got some pictures of your mother sucking off an indian!" That satisfies their curiosity.
"People person": "I'm a people person." Yeah? Me too. F u c k people! | |

Posted: 6/18/2008 6:26:38 AM | "Illegal war."
Redundant. Every war has been illegal since we beat the shit out of the Peloponnesians.
Don't believe it? Ask them.
I rest my case.
So, by extension, that includes "War crimes" and "war criminals". Like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500.
"Rules of war." "Conduct of war." What the f u c k...? If you can agree on the rules, why can't you agree not to fight in the first place, and conduct yourselves accordingly?
"Peace talks." Uh huh. Here we go again... | |

Posted: 6/19/2008 2:03:14 PM | Imagine that... negative comments in a thread with "despise" in the title.
Which reminds me:
"Negative" and "negatory":
"Want fries with that?"
"Negatory."
Unless, of course, you're flying an F-15 through the drive-thru.
