All of Stuart Scott's sh*t is getting old and only gets older when everybody else on ESPN tries to copy the guy.
I hate the word HATER or the over use of the words LOVE and HATE esp when folx have no idea what they REALLY mean The phrase "I DON'T MEAN TO BE RACIST/SEXIST/HOMOPHOBIC/ETC But . . . . " then will say something that is EXACTLY Racist, sexist, etc Rocket River
you took the words right off of my keyboard. i will never, ever use those God foresaken abbreviations. especially LOL. God, those things suck.
i've already seen it in this thread so i'll mention when people type "then" instead of "than." as in jordan is better then moochie norris. you don't say "i went to the store, than i went to the bank, and than finally i went home" so this mistake makes no sense. people just say the word "than" like "then" when they're talking and then think it's spelled the same way. annoys the hell out of me. i've even seen bill simmons, my favorite columnist, do this on more than one occasion. how does this repeatedly get past an editor?
No offense.. but I hate it when I ask a customer if they need any help or have any questions and they are like " no, I dont need help". Then by the time I turn around they say " O, I have 1 question" Why didnt you ask in the first place **** face
Totally agreed here. I hate all the flavor of the months words that have described attractive women over the years ("honeys," etc.)... Hell, I hate slang in general, not just that word. "Aight," "scured," and countless others that I can't remember at the moment.
Just about any corporate speak: Pop - as in, "I want this presentation to have POP." Leverage - as in, "We can leverage our expenditures against future sales." Deliverable Proactive ROI (return on investment) Results-Driven Outside the Box (I particularly hate this one) Marketplace I use the damn things all the time with clients and I want to punch myself.
Oh, also, I hate "tap" as in "I'd tap that!" 1. No you wouldn't even if you could. 2. You'll never have the chance, so don't bother saying it.
"win-win situation" "This is a win-win situation for both of us" --> translation: "I am trying hard to screw you here, sign already."
After living in New York for nearly half a year, I am sick and tired of people saying "pop" when referring to a soft drink. It is a "coke" and it always will be. I love hearing Texas accents now, it reminds me of what I'm missing.
No offense.. but I hate it when I ask a customer if they need any help or have any questions and they are like " no, I dont need help". Then by the time I turn around they say " O, I have 1 question" Why didnt you ask in the first place **** face I have this happen to me all the time where i work.
An english professor once told me, "everything before the word but, is bull****". I've almost never found a truer statement. I love the job you've done, you are a wonderful employee, but I'm afraid we are going to have to let you go. I'd love to, but... Always rings true. I think the word "at should be banned. It is always over used when it is not needed. "you have to know where you are at on the field at at times" Should be... "you need to know where you are on the field at all times" and people are always ending sentences with the word "at" and it drives me crazy... oh and people who conatantly use "..." ... should be banned.
I dunno if it's already been said, but here goes anyway. ANYWAY. There isn't supposed to be an "S" on the end of it - it's not plural. "ANYWAY you look at it..." "ANYWAY you choose to..." and I use "coke" to describe a dark carbonated beverage. If it's clear or orange or any other color, I'll call it by name.
