"Git'r'done"

Thankfully for me it is losing it's popularity. This one guy I work with though, he thinks it is hilarious. It is a minor annoyance at worst, but I am pretty sure he takes it a little personally that I find it distasteful.

Not only is that a worn out catch-phrase, it comes from a worn out comedian. I am so sick of Larry the cable guy. Every time I see him make a joke on Comedy central, then punctuates it with "Git'r'done", I just want to puke. Seriosuly, get some fresh material!
Anyways it does proves one thing. In America if you have a stupid gimmick you can become a millionaire. Cuz there are plenty of stupid people who will constantly belt out that stupid gimmick in an uncreative pathetic attempt to be funny.

I guess that's the only amount of respect I do have for the guy: he took a stupid line and turned it into cold, hard cash.

"good-to-go" from that godamn taco bell line of commercials. i dunno how it happened but this phrase has slipped into unsuspecting people's vocabulary the last year. the worst part is they don't seem to know why they said it or where they got it from.... usage: "i got my wallet and ID, i'm "good to go (sliding motion with hand)"

After the shit I went through getting my brakes fixed this weekend, I don't want to here, "there's good news, and there's bad news" again for a good long while. Apparantly the good news was that I needed new brakes. And while it's not what the guy said at the time, apparantly the bad news was that they were going to be mounted by a total moron, who mounted one of the rotors BACKWARDS, so that I had to bring the car back into the shop again to get it re-replaced. Fun weekend.

"I'm Rick James, bitch!" was a good pick, Arilin. I'm so fucking tired of it, but luckily, people don't really say it anymore.

I'm getting really tired of, "I do what I want!" (in that voice), too.

Various quotes from anything related to Will Ferrell also get on my nerves, too. It's just that people say them way too goddamned much.

LOL, OMG, GG and any other internet abreviation spoken outloud by teenagers. I dont have a problem with you saying Oh My God, but why the hell would you abbreviate verbally? Its retardifying the English language, people should be ashamed of themselves.

LoL is another one that bothers me, but mostly because your basically lying to someones face. People don't naturally react to funny situations by saying "LOL", they friggin laugh...out loud, for others to hear. Saying LOL just seems patronizing.

"The exception the proves the rule".

Spectre-7

10-13-2008, 09:39 PM

"The exception the proves the rule".

I read an interesting article about this phrase a while back. It seems that it actually had a meaning once upon a time, back before it degenerated into a platitude spat out by the witless.

If my memory isn't failing me, the phrase actually referred to situations where one could intuit the existence of a rule because of a stated exception. For instance, if a sign indicates that parking is allowed from 3-5 PM, you can reason that you can't park there otherwise. It's an exception that proves there is a rule.

Sadly, it's no longer used that way. I'm not even really sure what people think they're communicating when they say it.

"Well, I guess this rule must be sound because it's faulty. Brilliant!"

The use of the word "like" or "you know?" that has permeated spoken English so much.

Yes. Anything where someone unironically says the exact oposite of what they mean. "I could care less" also falls into this category.
Probably been said but "the cake is a lie".

Another one that sums up a category. Something that was pure genius in it's source material, but was subsequently hammered to a meaningless husk of it's former self. See also "I'm Rick James, bitch!" and "I' do what I want".

I considered blocking any player with "weed" or "420" or the like in their Gamertag to alleviate this situation, but instead, since I care not for statistics nor achievements, I decided to turn the tables and join in on their little game and specifically backstab/betray/grief/hunt down these people in any game I play regardless of what team they happen to be on. :)

2)You're on the internet. More specifically, the World Wide Web. You should be mindful that the legal status quo in many country is that weed isn't illegal. No need to create multicultural tension.

What would that matter to me, you, or anyone else? I'm not advocating overturning any existing laws anywhere. For me to support the legal status quo means that I am supporting laws that I am subjected to. If you are from a country where it is legal, then obviously the laws I am subjected to certainly do not apply to you so why would you or any one else in this category have tension? :confused:

So this doesn't make you a complete arsehole because...?

It's a shame you didn't pass judgment and namecall the people who teamkilled me first. :(

This is telling, however, as well as instructive in a sense. I don't judge a whole group based on the actions of a few, but that small few, who seem to be extremely emotionally thin-skinned, sure make the entire group look bad with their penchant for immediate attacks and insults. For our purposes and situation, I call these few select people "Marijuana Fundies."

Now, to get back on track again, another phrase I'd like to see eliminated from our vernacular is:

"a complete arsehole." :mad:

What would that matter to me, you, or anyone else? I'm not advocating overturning any existing laws anywhere. For me to support the legal status quo means that I am supporting laws that I am subjected to. If you are from a country where it is legal, then obviously the laws I am subjected to certainly do not apply to you so why would you or any one else in this category have tension? :confused:
Because in mixed company, it is generally considered good form to not choose a user name that can create undue tension based on region specific issues. There's a seeming inherent moral judgement in your user title, that potentially applies unfavourably to members of this board. If it isn't a morally based suggestion, but say for example based on economic rational, and factors in existing data from countries that have taken a different approach and as such isn't based solely on theory, fell free to explain. If I assumed erroneously on your motivations, I apologise.

It's a shame you didn't pass judgment and namecall the people who teamkilled me first. :(Actually, I as asking you a non-rhetorical question about why you emulating behaviour you found objectionable, didn't make you as bad as them. I phrased it simply and with a colloquialism, but it was a legitimate question.

This is telling, however, as well as instructive in a sense. I don't judge a whole group based on the actions of a few, but that small few, who seem to be extremely emotionally thin-skinned, sure make the entire group look bad with their penchant for immediate attacks and insults. For our purposes and situation, I call these few select people "Marijuana Fundies."
Are you a whole group, but only a few of you team kill:confused: I don't get what you are trying to say...
Now, to get back on track again, another phrase I'd like to see eliminated from our vernacular is:

"a complete arsehole." :mad:
Reason? Don't like the proper english?
Where's the Picard WTF is this shit.jpg when you need it?

Because really now.

WTF is this shit?

Edit:Oh. And on topic? Moral Hazard. Tort Reform. Those are the phrases I'd rather not hear again. Not so much because they are bad ideas, but because when some people start talking about those things they inverse the relationship between power and responsibility and that really pisses me off. I'm not a big fan of the idea of the "noble poor"

Based on personal experience and abundant exposure: Nothing noble 'bout being poor. Being poor is shit times and shit times all too often leads to shit people.

Because in mixed company, it is generally considered good form to not choose a user name that can create undue tension based on region specific issues.

Well, I looked through the current member list and there are a few that could fall under your categorization of the matter. But I'm not going to call them out for it as I'd like to think we can all be above that sort of thing.

In return for your "full disclosure," here's mine:

One of the Founders personally approved my username. :)

Also, my Gamertag was made before I first posted here. :)

There's a seeming inherent moral judgement in your user title, that potentially applies unfavourably to members of this board. If it isn't a morally based suggestion, but say for example based on economic rational, and factors in existing data from countries that have taken a different approach and as such isn't based solely on theory, fell free to explain. If I assumed erroneously on your motivations, I apologise.

It's interesting because before I made my current Gamertag, I was subjected to the usual racial and homosexual slurs on Live that I am sure many (See Jeffool's post above...) have also experienced. After I made this one, that all virtually disappeared. Oh the level of insults increased exponentially, however, it's now more of the common run-of-the-mill kind of crap. It's almost the case that if one perceives another as being "anti-marijuana," somehow they must be straight and "non-ethnic" and must therefore be insulted accordingly. It's kind of amusing, actually. :D

As to your point, I can see it if I made my Gamertag/username along the lines of "arrestweedusers" or the like.

(Actually, that has fifteen letters and could be a real Gamertag...)

If a proper thread comes up on the subject, I may explain my rationale then.

Actually, I as asking you a non-rhetorical question about why you emulating behaviour you found objectionable, didn't make you as bad as them. I phrased it simply and with a colloquialism, but it was a legitimate question.

Gaming is serious business. If I get killed or beaten by an opponent, I try to get the kill or win on him/her next time. Why should this be any different just because motives are different. The "420" folks can always block me from matchmaking if they desire.

(If anything, I think many of them put me on "prefer" as I have seen a lot of the same people match-up with me when entering a multiplayer game. They must be enjoying the "meta-game" as much as I am now.)

Are you a whole group, but only a few of you team kill:confused: I don't get what you are trying to say...

No, I'm saying that these I don't take the actions of these particular "Marijuana Fundies" to be representative of the whole group that wishes legalization.

Reason? Don't like the proper english?

No, I just think it's crass. Or "crarse" if you prefer...

Oh and back on-topic,

While the word "fail" is and will always be a legitimate word, it seems to be getting overused nowadays, particularly when inserted into other words in attempts to be more "amusing." This should go away as well. For example:

"Failtacular"
"Failboat"
"Failstralia"
"Failcetera"

You get the picture... :mad:

"Bro", "Hell Ye-ah", and "Thank You". They're three things I hear all the times at my school, non-stop, day in and day out. The first two are the rest of the male apprentices (and some of the girls) just...just saying it all the time. The 'thank you' is because we have to say it after everything. EVERYTHING. Each new scrap of information, being dismissed from a class, getting a job, getting yelled at, anything and everything these girls say 'thank you' and if you don't say 'thank you' right along with them you are a toolbox.

Also, the awkward turtle should burn alive. There is nothing worse than having to deal with someone doing that in front of you in public.

Why would you assume that support of the legal status quo would involve any kind of hatred? :confused:

I'm only speaking for myself, but I think avatars should be relevant to usernames. As soon as I qualify, I will change the text under my username to reflect this as well. :)

Since creating this Gamertag, I think I may have become the most teamkilled person in the history of online gaming and I don't even use the mic or headset. :mad:

Not to mention the sudden increase in "complaints" against my Live Reputation. :mad:

I considered blocking any player with "weed" or "420" or the like in their Gamertag to alleviate this situation, but instead, since I care not for statistics nor achievements, I decided to turn the tables and join in on their little game and specifically backstab/betray/grief/hunt down these people in any game I play regardless of what team they happen to be on. :)

To get the thread back on track, this reminds me of another phrase I would like to see disappear forever:

"Legalize it, already."

:mad:

What's funny is that I was just playing Gears 2 multiplayer last night with some random person whose GamerTag had 420 in it.

Whoa, what happened to the four-smiley limit? Or is it only effective if they're consecutive smileys? Or is it only in effect in Johan's posts? :p

I no longer even have an Xbox Live subscription, so you don't need to tell me about the multitude of assholes on there. It's fucking insanity. We (well, I,) just made a big deal about your name because it's a cause very rarely championed. Not because it's unpopular, but because no one else honestly thinks that it will be legalized. That's even sillier than Everyone vs Dinosaurs (http://www.colonyofgamers.com/cogforums/member.php?u=126). That shit makes sense. Dinosaurs are dangerous.

I think a lot of people around these parts (and by these parts, I mean San Francisco) think it's possible that it'll eventually be legalized. But not for a long time, anyway.

"party like a rock star"
"gettin' crunk"

All that rap lingo said by white people.

I also had a big argument with a friend about the whole "I seen it" thing. She swore up and down that that was the correct way to say it. I told her she had to add a 'have' to that phrase to make it proper. It just sounds so ignorant.

I have seen it. I've seen it. I saw it.

The word "prolly". Grr. It's "probably". (This is the worst offender among the few people I talk to from my hometown.)

"Let's take this conversation off-line." My blood boils at this one. Mostly because it's one of those "catchy corporate phrases" upper management likes so much. At my old job, you'd hear that phrase at LEAST 3 times during the course of a 20 minute meeting.

"REALLY?" (said in super-condescending tone of voice) A favorite of my girlfriend's.

"I'm over it."/"I'm SO over [X]." The most overused phrase in Las Vegas/Southern California, as far as I can tell. Makes me want to punch a baby.

On a separate note, I do like to using the word "bukake" with people who have no clue what it means. "Here's your folder Jen, can you take care of this bukake for me?" Needless to say it can't be done often.

Heh. Awesome. I recommend you also add Nakadashi to your vocabulary.

Oh I don't care about the color of the person saying it. I think "SON" is just about the most annoying thing I've heard people tack on to a sentence. I much prefer the Canadian "eh" or even "right".

There's only one word that can satisfactorily be used at the end of all of one's sentences, and it happens to work just as well at the start. That word, of course, is yo.

Yo, wassup yo?
Yo, jus' hangin' yo.

"I was just gonna say", right before saying something in class. Just say it. Saying "I was just gonna say" right before you say something doesnt make any sense.

"We need to talk." alway causes my stomach to drop 20 stories. Especially when it comes in tandem with the other phrase I'm getting tired of hearing, "I was orginally born a man."

Overused rhetoric in business meetings:

"Where the rubber meets the road."
"At the end of the day..."
"A lot on my plate."

"I was just gonna say", right before saying something in class. Just say it. Saying "I was just gonna say" right before you say something doesnt make any sense.Or "know what I'm sayin'" which some people add more of as they get more nervous.

One of my friends has a habit of adding "or whatever" when he is uncomfortable.... or whatever.

Let's just blue sky this, real high-level, we're not reinventing the wheel- just thinking a little outside the box.

I can't hear you over all these paradigms I'm shifting.

One that I heard once at Boeing Aerospace:

"This isn't rocket science!"
"Have you forgotten what project were working on? It IS rocket science."

Overused rhetoric in business meetings:

"At the end of the day..."
"A lot on my plate."

If you don't mind, I'd like to speak to that issue for a moment. I think we all know that my department has been experiencing undue pressure to actualize this new paradigm. At the end of the day, though, it would be healthier for this company to adopt a more holistic, synergistic approach, that would in effect diffuse the real world cost of this maneuver over a wider area.

I've recently conducted a series of cost-benefit analyses, and if you look at my data, I'm sure you'll agree that... aww fuck it. I'm sick and fucking tired of doing all the work, and if everybody else doesn't start doing their part, I'm coming into work on Monday with a Mossberg. Capiche?
