Did @chela say fnord? I thought so.
My sïs†er saw a møøse once time sweeming in a fnord.
It is written, so be it.
Everyone, every where is aware of and affected by Covid on some level. I am quite sick of hearing the phrase, ‘these trying times…’ everywhere from popsicle commercials to parent teacher conferences.
‘Moving forward’
‘Facetious’ does not mean the same thing as ‘sarcastic’.
I fervently hope that after Jan. 20, I never, ever hear the word “unprecedented” again.
I really don’t get the hate for “folks”. I use it myself sometimes, just as a synonym for “people” that is sometimes a subtly better fit. There’s not necessarily any “faux-folksiness” about it. Likewise “townsfolk” is a perfectly fine word (though “townspeople” is indeed used more often).
Or how about “greatest {insert anything here} in history”, said by the US president about just about anything that he’s taking credit for. It was a source of unintended and considerable amusement when he used it in his first speech before the UN General Assembly. (Replace “greatest” with “worst” for anything Obama did that he claims to have fixed.)
Never mind
Yeah, I will be remembering that construction. Nice meter.
It’s 2020! Why does anyone start a question about technology or societal progress by stating the obvious of what year it happens to be? It’s 2020! Why can’t we send money telepathically? It’s 2020! Why haven’t all the conservatives died yet? It’s 2020! Why do we need to eat still? It’s 2020! Why haven’t we sent a manned mission to Andromeda yet? It’s 2020! Why hasn’t the technological singularity happened yet? It’s 2020! Why do I care so much about this overwrought expression?
Where’s my jetpack???
Where did you leave it? I don’t know why you expect everyone else to keep track of your stuff.
Did you check it on your flight back from LAX? I hate it when my luggage gets lost.
Next time I fly back from LA, I’m taking an airplane. Those jetpack trips get cold!
Why are you wearing eyeglasses?
Look, at the end of the day it is what it is and that’s like, all there is to it. Whattayagunnado ya know what I’m sayin?
Is ‘Physicality’ a cromulent word? I hear it all the time during College Football.
I’m guilty of a number of these 
. For example I say to be honest or frankly a lot. It’s completely unconscious so I’ve had a hard time breaking myself of the habit, even though it does very mildly irk a couple of friends of mine.
My current aggravation is right here in this thread title. My problem is that logical or not I’ve internalized the use of the archaic word cuck as being 100% owned by shitty-ass incels. I’m pretty sure that is not the intention of that OP, but it still irrationally annoys me every time I see that thread pop back up. Because I associate any use of it with shitty-ass incels.
I sorta wish people that either just use the entire word cuckold, old fashioned though it is or just avoid using the term altogether. I think it is kinda of a pathetic insult anyway, implying that a man is somehow lesser or weak because his partner is cheating on him. It hearkens back to old toxic concepts of masculinity.
But mostly because it reminds me of shitheel incels and MRA whackadoos.
I worked in a factory where the big boss would regularly shut down the whole plant and gather everyone in the breakroom for impromptu meetings. They were never of any import. Anyway, he would say “and so on and so forth” so often that at one meeting I took pen and paper and made a hashmark for every time he said it. Coworkers glanced over surreptitiously to see the score, but even though I was just making hashmarks, he said it so often that I lost track.
“Quick question.”
It’s never quick, and just ask the damn question!
