Ace’s classmate Ben sits opposite Ace, doing the New York Times crossword for speed and accuracy. This daily rite of competition before the first class ends as it usually does, with Ben finishing quickly.
BEN: WHO’S… YOUR… DADDY?!
Ace: His name’s Ron. He drove a truck.
Sounds like the OP has a case of the Mondays.
But that would abolish Extreme Ironing, perhaps the funniest thing I’ve seen in years. You haven’t lived until you’ve seen a photo of a man ironing a shirt underwater.
“Its all good” - ugh!
Whoa!
I saw this thread and I thought, “Don’t even go there, man!” But I went there anyway and it was, like, gnarly. And now that I’m here, I’m gonna share the love. Peace out.
Okay, I’ll admit, I say “your mom” as an all-purpose response. And so does my brother. So quite often in the Blink household there will be a conversation like the following:
My brother: What’s for dinner?
Me: Your mom’s for dinner.
Bro: No, your mom’s for dinner.
Me: No, your mom, for a nickel.
Bro: Your mom, for a Canadian nickel!
Me: Your mom, for a Canadian lira!
… what’s even sadder is when infamousmom joins in.
AwSnappity…not…comprehending…sentence…
Brain…not…work
I think my roommate is just trying to be funny. The “your mom” thing was sort of funny…for a week…when I was in 8th grade. She just likes replacing things with “your mom”, I guess.
“All your bases are belong to me” along with any variation with the word “bases” replaced with …“biatch, ho`s” etc
Anything with “Generation” in it. I don’t even pay attention when people use this gibberish, so don’t know if it’s X-generation or Generation-X, or even if I’ve got the right letter.
Same goes for mobile (cell) phones. Second generation, third generation…who cares?
I had a conversation with one of my professors last night after class (he let us go early because of break but I hung around to talk about a book I lent him.) He told me about how his son is on a crusade against the phrase “Everything happens for a reason.” I never really thought about it, but it is far, far overused, and from a logical perspective it is meaningless- well, of course there is a ‘reason’ for any random occurrence, but what significance does that have? Who cares? My prof also said that when he was young, he had a similar reaction to ‘be yourself,’ which was prevalent at the time. It is completely meaninless advice: how can you be anything BUT yourself?
I’m a (somewhat) politically active college student, and don’t see anyone saying this.
Oh, I’m with you there. Gah! What an annoying word.
I have never heard any of these phrases that moriah or Trunk mentioned. Also, I think I’m missing something on this Led Zeppelin rock month business.
Not necessarily part of pop culture but my teeth start to grind when I hear the word 'basically.
It is so overused that it’s pitiful.
Where the hell did that come from anyway??!?
All Your Base Are Belong To Us
HERE
Oh no you didn’t!
Could that be any more annoying?
Oh, and someone left a Cosmo in the men’s locker room at the gym today (?!) and it was open to some “conversation starters” page, so I can say with some reliability that “off the hook!” is over. The new soon-to-be-worn-threadbare catchphrase is “beyond,” as in “dawg, this party is beyond!”
Link that doesn’t lead to an endlessly recursive ad for “Alexander” please?
I know, right?
“I’m like…”
“I couldn’t care less.”
“I could care less.” Duh! :wally
“Word.” Especially because I don’t know what the hell it means. Dude.
