I don’t have many pet peeves, but my new one is definitely “Hack her to death with a kitchen knife.” _What_ the _fuck_??? Can there be a more disturbing and obtuse #3?? I know, there’s probably a TV/movie/video game reference that I’m not getting, and I’m being whooshed somehow. But still… Okay, I \*understand \* that the “old” #3, “Hi, Opal!” was getting a little tired. But, come on, people! Can’t we do better than a #3 that advocates violence towards [a] woman!?!? There’s too much of that type of shit everywhere anyway! Even if there _is_ some obscure media in-joke involved, it’s not all that funny anymore! I have now seen “Hack her to death with a kitchen knife,” one too many times!!! Yeah, okay, ha ha, I have a sense of humor, I get it, the shock, the juxtaposition, it was funny for about a minute. Now, stop it. Think of something else. Please!!! :mad: :mad: ---

On the bright side, we know that this is at least one cliche that won’t get \* beaten \* to death. ---

Darn it. I seem to see it everywhere, it’s probably been mentioned in about four threads I’ve read lately. Thanks for the jokes, I think I’m getting over it now. 🙂 ---

Well, dayum! I started it last week, and figured that nobody would even get the reference, much less want to repeat it. And now I find out it’s all the rage. Woo hoo! I started a message board trend! (Thanks for the support, World Eater!) ---

It seems to have the potential to be more context sensitive then “Hi Opal”, thus funnier. the formula is roughly **X** him/her to **Y** with a **Z** Fuck, I should go outside. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hack-her-to-death-with-a-kitchen-knife/262256.md?page=2)
