I’m sure you’ve seen the recent commercial hawking the “Sackie” dollar coin. First off, it’s kinda creepy looking. But, I digress…
My bitch concerns the line at the end of the commercial where “George” says: “It’s sooo money.”
NO IT IS NOT!!!
There oughta be a law, or least a committee, that decides whether or not a noun can be changed into another part of speech.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…
Sorry Trumpy303,
Language use is democratic.
Dictionaries, despite their authoratative titles and fancy covers, do not actually define language.
They only try to catalogue it.
No law or commitee can change this.
If enough people use a new expression, it is going to be around until they stop.
BTW the money=good 1 annoys the hell out of me too.
PEACE.(yes I know it’s the Pit)

Your bitch does that? Slap her man, let her know who’s boss.
Hmmm,…trying to decide whether or not to interface with this thread…
I could care less. I figure how can a mirror ad impact my life. So its a mute point to myself irregardless of what y’all think.
Contact me later on this one.
I’ll tell him but I don’t think he’ll be very keen. He’s already got one, you see!
Oh, it can be done, but it’s work.
Find out who the ad writer(s) and ad agency involved are.
Denounce the writer(s) by name at every opportunity. Refuse to associate with them, buy from or sell to them, or have sex with them (you may have already decided on the last…).
If anybody else uses the same ad agency, write them a letter saying, “I’ve have bought your product, but you paid money to that band of clueless monkeys who did the ‘Sackie’ ad.”
If anybody speaks well of the writer(s), the agency, or the use of language in the ad, look pityingly at them and say, “I’d have thought that you had more taste and intelligence than to actually believe that they’re worth having on the same planet as you.”
They’ll all get the picture really fast.
“I don’t just want you to feel envy. I want you to suffer, I want you to bleed, I want you to die a little bit each day. And I want you to thank me for it.” – What “Let’s just be friends” really means
This is the problem with speaking a living language. The damn thing keeps evolving.
If this really pisses you off, at least you’ve taken care of what your all-day rant will be as you sit in your wheelchair in the old folks home.
Little Nemo, LMAO!!!

This could go horribly wrong. You may just be too subtle for me today.
Let’s assume not.
Its a mute point Perhaps it’s a moot point
*irregardless * This one must be a joke.
OK. I have convinced myself that you are just kidding here, and that you fully intended to appear stupid (and that you, yourself are not stupid). No one else has commented yet. Does that mean that people are prepared to accept such poor communication, or that they have not noticed that it was poor communication?
Russell
OK, so the android gets it, and I’m the dumb one.
Nemo - Oops. It’s amazing how much more intelligent your other posts appear. If only I had remembered reading them before I jumped in here feet first…
Perhaps bj0rn is right about sarcasm after all.
Russell
Russell, did you consider that maybe the rest of the people simply got the joke? In a thread about the decline of the English language, Little Nemo posted a collection of some of the most common misuses. You missed the use of impact as a verb, as well. And the “word” y’all. Most of us grate our teeth and cringe at hearing those sorts of things when they are not being used sarcastically.
waterj2 - Be fair, I’ve already agreed I got it wrong. I did miss ‘impact’ though.
Russell
Russell, that was a simulpost, look at the times.
I feel your pain. I was “wooshed” myself not too long ago.
Eagles may soar, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines.

Head… pounding… ears… bleeding…
Well done, sir!
Esprix, who does this stuff for a living
Me, I was pissed at the commercial ‘cause they seem to have given “George” a New York accent. He was from Virginia for cryin’ out loud! (When will folks ever get that straight and give poor George his native southern accent?) The Father of our Country was a Cracker, dammit!
