are two that will never die unfortunately. Perhaps we could level some sort of fine on the abusers. Even then I don’t think these would ever go away. Anyone else think of some that need to be outlawed?
If that phrase was alive, I’d hunt it down and kill it with my bare hands. Or no, beat it until is loses consiousness, then smack it back awake. Repeat as nessary.
I second (or third, I guess) the nomination for “Wasssuuupp.” I’ll gladly join anyone who wants to beat this phrase to a bloody pulp. It must be stopped.
I must be the only one who didn’t find this very funny or interesting the first time I saw it referenced and, subsequently, learned its meaning. But right around the 2000 mark, and it’s umpteenth mangled usage, I really got tired of it.
Hmm. How 'bout, “You shit and slide in it.” Not too bad, really, so maybe, “Thunderboomers,” to describe storms. We are afflicted with a local meterologist(?) who can’t speak without it.
Hmm. How 'bout, “55 Saves Lives!” This one’s about gone now, but it used to drive me batshit.
And there’s another. What does the feces of a small, flying mammal have to do with anything?
Lauren! You are not fat. i don’t care how many times I have to tell you this, I will slam it into your head someday. And there is nothing wrong with smiling. it releases biochemicals that improve your mood. Really. And darnit, the freaking glass can be half full!!! ::Pants and catches breath::
You got tired of it! The goat’s in traction, not to mention therapy!
:::runs like hell from Cnote’s righteous wrath:::
Not really a pop-quote, just a mangled phrase that grates like microphone feedback squawks: “I could care less.”
AAARUGH! The snippet used out of place means exactly the opposite. The full phrase was somthing like, “don’t know and I could care less”, expressing ultimate boredom and indifference.
But morphed and minced into “I could care less” is ludicrous. It puts a heavy-eyed, cocked-hip, brain-dead absurdity at flat odds to the meaning.
Which can be funny, but I’m a wordy, pompous twit who gets buggy-eyed over stuff like this.
