When people declare that they have spewed their beverage of choice all over the computer and owe other people a new monitor/keyboard/Mr. Pibb.
People calling Cecil “Unca Ceca”.
DNFTT. This is antithetical to what the poster is asking everyone else to do, not to mention overused.
Wow, Waverly vs. FairyChatMom
pulls up a lawnchair.
Can you provide a reference for your claim that the phrase in question is overused?
Aren’t cliches, by definition, bad? By the time something obtains cliche status has it lost all of its humorous effect?
Are there any good cliches?
I was always taught they were compositional crutches. So, people who use them are asshats and fucktards.
When come back, bring pie.
I haven’t seen that in a while, and I’m very glad. I’ve never understood why people feel the need to post just that (or “my cat’s breath smells like cat food,” or something) in a thread started by a troll, or with an OP that doesn’t make sense. Just let the blasted thing drop to the bottom of the page, yo!
Of course, if it’s a Ralph Wiggum thread, please feel free to post “my cat’s breath smells like cat food.” I’m partial to “Sleep! That’s where I’m a viking!” myself.
I must object to the false tags - they have their purpose. When used to denote a movie or TV quote, I’ve found it’s easier to say:
[Simpsons] Have the Rolling Stones killed.[/Simpsons]
than to say:
Have the Rolling Stones killed.
followed by:
Poster A: What are you talking about?
Poster B: Why would you want them killed?
Poster C: See me in the Pit, asshole.
As long as I’m here, I really dislike the new :dubious: smiley. I always add more venom to it than I think the poster intended, b/c when someone does that to me IRL it’s kind of a trigger of mine. Sort of an “what’re you an idiot?” look that my brothers always used to do to me that pissed me off.
Let be known that on this day, Friday May 16 of year 2003 on the Gregorian calendar, FairyChatMom, who happens to be one of the nicest, least offensive people on the SDMB, and who also was the very first person to greet me when I was a brand new member, has become my arch nemesis by uttering “band name!” in my cliché thread.
Being mostly a GDer myself, I have to say the policy of calling any arument you give a strawman is very, very annoying.
But… but… but “band name” is a legitimate addition to the list. It is. Take a vote - you’ll see I’m right!
What a poopyhead.
A shot across the bow from my new arch nemesis! I wasn’t even ready yet. Do over…
You know, I think I’m going to keep posting whatever I feel like posting, subject to my own personal standards of decorum and the rules of the various fora.
I don’t know why, but I just felt like saying that.
A few of my least favorite cliches…
Trust me, people, the answer is NO! It doesn’t matter what you put in the blank, the answer is always NO! It’s a big world, there are 6 billion people on it, so SOMEWHERE, there’s SOMEONE who agrees with you, no matter WHAT you think. So, you’re not the only one who hates “The Matrix.” You’re not the only one who likes to sprinkle Comet on his pizza. You’re not the only one who has a crush on Emmanuel Lewis. There is SOMEBODY else out there who feels the same way you do. DON’T waste precious thread space asking.
2) Threads that begin “I DON’T GET ___; WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN IT TO ME”?
Again, it doesn’t matter WHAT you put in the blank, it’s a pointless question. If you don’t think Julia Roberts is attractive, NO amount of logic or rhetoric is going to persuade you that she is. If you don’t think Tool has any talent, there’s no way any of their fans will ever convince you that they do. If you don’t like Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, eat something else. Don’t ask the people who love it to explain why. If Monty Python baffles or bores you, just change the channel- please don’t ask fans to explain what makes it funny.
And the baby Jesus has officially cried His last tear, please.
Band name lawnchair smash asshat!
And what is with the lack of people with stuff in their location field? all black location fields should be forced to have the letter “M” put in, just because!
(note, this is not serious, so nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh!)
Resolved: [hopelessly naive conclusion]
-as a GD thread title, we haven’t seen much of it lately though.
[whatever] can lick my balls
Not by any means exclusively an SDMB cliché, but…
Two words: [something] [something]
(that one annoys me enough that I pitted it once)
Looks like Waverly gets to have another nemesis.
C’mon, the poor kid has Cliché Tourette’s. Let him be.
Damnit it! Now I need to find someone else to pick on.
You seem to be rather too genial for a potential nemesis, I just don’t think that it would work out.
Thanks for the sex change though.
