Nobody says the "NFL" anymore. All of the talking heads must create this artificial, linguistic reverence by saying the National. Football. League. We're a society of abbreviations and acronyms. Why does any normal person want to actually increase the number of syllables needed to communicate unless there's a certain desire to emphasize some perceived magnitude about whatever it is we're talking about? As in "No rookie can expect to do [blank] in the (insert slight deepening of voice here) National. Football. League." They also get this giddy smirk on their face whenever they find an opportunity to work in "....on...AND off... the field". Almost like they figured out how to turn the phrase that will now garner them an ESPY or something.
"National Football League" Yeah...you're really important. It's the NFL, for f#@ck's sake. How often do you hear pundits say "National Basketball Association?" Right...it's just the NBA.
HAHA WUT GLOBEL WARMING!!!!!!!111111111 *when temperatures dip below freezing in the middle of ****ing winter*
Also, commentators like Shannon Sharpe and Deion Sanders and maybe some other ones like Rich Gannon (no offense to moes, to be honest ) say "Football" when it's apparent that's what we're talking about. Quit the redundancies. For example, it's a FOOTBALL commentary show. It's about the National FOOTBALL league. We have FOOTBALL commentators. Naturally, we're talking FOOTBALL here, but the color peeps during the game and in the pre-game and half time show, say "Blah Blah, player xyz is a great football player" and so on, so forth. Oh, yeah? Thank you for saying FOOTBALL player. I didn't know.
1)FAIL 2)Epic FAIL 3)"he's a bad president because he's socialist and hates white people" 4)"Bring back McGrady" 5)"This team needs swagger" 6)"We must defend the white race" 7)Your comment is sexist. 8)Your comment is anti-semitic 9)The term r****ded is offensive 10)Kill the mooslims. 11)By not supporting Israel, you're a neo-nazi or an al-qaeda member 12)Aaron Brooks should be traded 13)Just trade yao for lebron 14)We can sign lebron or dwade here. 15)Kevin Marti stinks.
Most phrases don't really annoy me, but does cause confusion or just funny to laugh sometimes. Giving a 110% I know it is supposed to be dramatically and all, but really how would someone notice if a player or person is only giving 88% vs. 95%. It's kind of hard to tell. Couldn't you technically be giving 100%, not be successful at what you're doing, while on the other hand, you only give less than 50% and end up with all spoils of the contest. No Homo This one, you have to admit is f#ckin funny. I almost die laughing every time I hear girl or guy say it in person or on the internet in a forum (comment section). You basically telling everyone that you are not gay, even though just said something that was really ...ghey. Sometimes, it's not so gay...or immediate recognizable by people. "That chick has nice hips and a$$...no homo." (It's ok for a woman to admire another woman's ... assets "I hate vaginas (from Robert Pattinson)," he probably accompanied it with a no homo. But we already know he's gay. "He's a handsome guy, I can see why so many women, like him . . . no homo," It's ok to compliment and admire another guy for his endeavors or skills, but watch your word choice (dude) and storytelling events about you trip to a gay bar around other straight men or they might get the wrong idea about you. Look at poor Mazyar, nice guy and probably didn't mean anything more than a trip to night club. Didn't once bring up the word "no homo," and people are still cracking on him with gay jokes. So in the end, I'd again used better word selection or not say anything about gay bars or having a crush on male/female celebrities. I'm kinda pregnant . . . Wow...I guess you can never be too sure, sometimes. BOOO YEAAAHHHHH You all know who to attribute this d@mn quote to, it is the only one that is really annoying to me on this list. Can we talk or we need to talk. (mostly by women to their husbands/BFs/male friends or their girlfriends, platonic ones and romantic ones) 2+ hours of complaining is likely to ensue. Expect a partial to absolute emotional breakdown to you becoming a pHD therapist to having your loyalty questioned to possibly being blamed for things that you aren't responsible for. I Want a God Fearing Man/Woman or ... a nice guy I've dated so many losers, or people who taken advantaged of me over the years or cheated on me so many times. Now, it is my turn to take advantage of an unsuspecting Christian or a nice person, or at least lead them on until something more hot comes along. I Support the Troops ...Country First...Support the President Very controversial phrases. Caught on alot, during the height of the Bush-Cheney years. But when you think about them for second, they almost do not make any sense or are superficially irrelevant in context. Support the Troops - Most in this country support the troops in one way or another, especially financially. If you pay taxes in some form or another, you are supporting the military-national defense simple as that. You can the most leftist-government hating war resistor or a flag-waving, pro-big government-pro family values Republican, if you paid income taxes or some special federal taxes over any point in your life. You've supported the military, any way you put it. This is all regards to its branches of people and resources (Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard), supporting their families, VA hosptals, and medical facilities with funding defense projects through contracting (Lockheed Martin/McDonnell-Douglas). The only people who don't support the military are possibly babies/children, hermits (who live almost entirely on the land and live in seclusion), and tax resistors (who don't pay taxes). Babies/Children are too young to be productive, as hermits are basically out of society. While, we know what happens to tax resistors. Country First - If your country isn't first, then I wonder what would be first, instead . . . Family (that's reasonable in context) Money (The real King of the world), look it even sounds the most natural . . . Money First God (that's reasonable in context, but arguable to some people, if it is really practice as much as it is acclaimed) Support the President - Which one? I'm pretty sure the some of the same people who had those raggedy old stickers off their car from 01-08 took those things of their car in 09.
I absolutely hate "what's up son" I'm not your son you little punk ass b****, is pretty much what I think when someone says it :grin:
I know technically it's correct, but it always has bothered me when someone says ... "That's curious" Also, "Same Difference" always bothered me.
"cool story bro" "douche/dbag" "cleverly disguised" "leverage" "the big picture/outside da box" "touch base"
