I hate adding an -y to a word to make it an adjective. “Judgey,” for one. We have a perfectly great adjective to use when someone is judging someone else. Judgmental. Use it! I also see “rapey” a lot.
Stagger Lee told Billy
I can’t let you go with that
You have won all my money
And my brand new stetson hat
You’d think someone using the name Stagger Lee would be more sympathetic to hats.
Vaca for vacation.
“Fabu” is only acceptable if it’s said like Wakko Warner.
That one threw me for a loop the first time I heard it… “yeah, I’ve got some vaca coming on, about time!”
Me, in an aside to someone else: “vaca?”
S.e.: “vacation, she means. Why?”
Me: “OH! Dictionary crossover moment, I was wondering why the heck would she have cows coming and then realized it couldn’t be that.”
Maya Angelou on Oprah.
Yeah, fuck people’s hats!
Noam Chompsky is the prototypical eccentric academic and a professor at MIT. He is worshiped in the field of linguistics because he did come up with some revolutionary ideas along time ago but he branched off into all kinds of things like political theory and that is why some people hate him. He is basically a socialist anarchist with an ego bigger than the world can contain. He isn’t a nice person by most accounts and chooses to use his intellectual skills to hone his ideas of perfection in some type of alternate dimension. He is a very, very smart person in the way that some others of his type are but he can’t seem to harness it for forces of good in the world that most of us live in.
I know, completely redundant.
Well, Bless Your Heart, Darling, that there is precious, indeed!
If you do, I’m more than willing to provide an allibi.
That’s my GPS’s name.
Thanks, I’ll be here all week.
My mother gave me a kitten as a birthday present. I sometimes call the cat “my precious”, just to see who’s read a certain series of novels. The spewing laughter reveals 'em, every time.
I wear a top hat and carry a samurai sword hilted umbrella. Is this precious? 
Yes, unless you are skilled in bartitsu.
^ This, plus “stabby”. I know it’s popular on this (and other) boards, and I while I get the meaning and don’t hate it, it does ping my precious meter.
OTOH, I plead guilty to using vaca and our GPS is named Bitchy. My car is The Wannabe, as in “I’m not big enough to be a real SUV but I sort of look like one of those big boys.”
Jesus Christ. Is there nothing people won’t randomly home in on to tear others down? Seriously. This is the dumbest fucking pit thread I’ve seen in a long time.
Sometimes this board really just seems like a bitter hang out for outcasts. Sometimes I participate in the random judging of others too though and I need to stop.
Fuck this.
:dubious: I take it you’re new to this planet?
Anyway, I only put it in the pit as that’s where the pretentious thread was. I’m not going to go screaming at someone because he’s wearing a short brimmed hat and a goatee, just roll my eyes a bit. IOW, it’s just for fun.
I loathe when women refer to themselves as preggo when they’re pregnant.
I also hate the DH, DD, DS abbreviations and the use of the word “sammies” or “sammich.”
I can’t stand the term hubby for husband.
It drives me nuts when people at work use the term “confab” and “convo.” When I hear it, I have a Family Guy fantasy of me as Dick Cheney the Wal-Mart greeter, saying “Go fuck yourself” to everyone who walks in the door.
Come to think of it, I have that reaction to almost everything.
How do you feel about “srsly” and “OH NOES!!!” I really dislike it. I think mostly because it gets used so often on Jezebel and I associate it with rampant ignorance.
Does this thread make you sweary?
