Sayings that need to die

Bling.

Hungry enough to eat a horse.

Ok G/F, apparently you have hit a nerve with me here because every blasted time I come to this thread I just get irritated at something else I've heard.  This time it is all the male-specific words that people have invented to describe stuff that have been commonly associated with women.  Things like "manny" and "murse" and "manscaping".

Ah, did someone just break up from a bad bromance?

 

How did I forget bromance???  And I don't want to talk about it...

So you don't want to know about "moobs" either?

I like to call them, mabobs.

I am already quite familiar with those thank you very much.  Not so much that I need a manziere or a Bro though.

Up in Northern California everyone uses the term "Hella"
"That's hella great"
"The movie was hella stupid"

Besides not rolling off the tongue smoothly enough, this saying is completely ridiculous.

Ugh "hella" so so dang dumb!  Nobody says that in Santa Cruz though... that's more of a San Jose/Silicon Valley thing.  People here would look at you funny if you said that...

[What's worse: "hella" or "hecka"???]

Agreed^

My daughter did 7 years at San Jose State University and that's how I even heard of that saying. She even refused to say it, though she lived there so long.

Apparently someone made it up in the Silicon area, and it hasn't spread beyond that area - NO ONE says it down here in SoCal... thank God !

I just bopped over to the random ramblings thread and saw a post with a tired, old phrase:  "Who woulda thunk it."  I'm not going to say who posted it, so don't worry Driven, your secret is safe.

edit: Oops!  

I just love the sound of the "unk" syllable.

Thunk
Stunk
Bunk
etc.

I hate to tell you, but by posting all those, we're gonna have to flunk you  

I thought the "hella" term was spread by South Park.

Or we could just dunk him in a river.  If he sunk, hitting the bottom with a clunk, at least he'd die baptized.  But since he's a punk full of spunk I am sure would survive, even if his clothes are a bit shrunk.

 

Wait, are we turning into a rap site here with all the rhyming?

Beardad =     

Xid = was that a South Park thing ? I've never seen one episode (not because I'm holy or perfect or anything, just never interested me)

The following saying needs to die:
"How's life treating you ?"
I always answer with "well, LIFE is treating me badly like everyone else, but the Lord is treating me great !"

and don't even get me started with "How's it hangin' ?"
GRRRRRRR I HATE that question. I have a patient who thinks we're good buds and he always asks me that.... it's a repulsive, idiotic greeting that I wish would go away.

My all time personal "hate it the most" phrase is "How's Barrie." (those that don't know ... that's me.  )

Dude, your asking ME "how's Barrie"!!!???  How 'bout asking HIM!  I don't refer to myself in the third person; I am NOT the queen of England .... or any kind of queen (ooh, that's bad!  )  If you want to know how I am doing say, "how are you doing?", not "How's Barrie."

Grrrrrrr.

I'll answer your ^ post with another annoying phrase:
TRUE DAT

  

I actually prefer, and use the following greeting myself:
"How's it going ?" I've always said that, since I was a wee lad. It's kind of a modern "How do you do?"

I absolutely HATE it when I make a post, and someone quotes it and says FIXED.

LOL !   

I think Darren started that didn't he ? Ahhh, miss him mixing things up around here.

I've only watched a few episodes in the beginning and they said "Hella cool" all the time.  While funny, the show is foul which is why only after a few episodes I was done with it.

Then you switched to MINIONS !!!!   


(That is what your Avatar is, right ?)

The avatar is a selfie. (Another annoying saying.)  I had my identity stolen and reproduced.

Especially now that people are using it to refer to any picture taken of them, not necessarily one they took themselves.


I'm gonna add "step it up" to our list.
