A Rant: Verbal Crutches
 

:cuss:

As I grow a little older each day I notice certain things about the general populous.
One thing that has been driving be insane is verbal crutches. These are little phrases people use in everyday conversations that make me want to punch a nun.

Here are a few that I've noticed recently....

1. "The thing is." Why do people feel the need to start a sentence with this particular phrase? I want to know, what is the thing? Tell me the thing! WTF is the THING!!!! Goddammit. That one ranks right up there.

2. "Expessially." You fugging moron. I worked with a guy that had a b.a. and this is how he said Especially.

3. "Irregardless." Say it to my face motherfu*ker. I dares ya. :cuss: The actually added this to the english dictionary a few years ago. (You sound like a moron if you use it FYI).

4. "I seen it." What you seen? You seen it? Who dat? Who dere? It's called english you backwoods possum eater. For Chrissakes. :shake:

5. Double Negatives: "Ain't No" or "There's not no one." It's shit like this that explains why China is taking our place on the super power throne in the next ten years.


This is just a few that really piss me off.

Here, I'll use them all in a sentence for you...

The thing is, I expecially ain't seen no one there irregardless of what you say you seen.


My head just exploded.

Sorry if repost.

my most-hated is "SUPPOSEBLY".

At the end of the day, I get flustrated, all of a sudden. That work for you?

My personal favorite is "excetera."

Dammit! I forgot this one.

People that call a "laptop" a "labtop"

"To be honest..." So, you were basically lying to me before?

How about flusterated?

I get tired of cliche's more than these, phrases like "we dropped the ball" instead tell me what happened exactly instead of that phrase. Work smarter.. not harder uh ok
Don't confuse work with motion
One that I do agree with for anyone who is paid by the hour and just works slowly The amount of work stretches to fill the day.

I don't get all worked up about it but I feel you. This stuff is taught in English starting in 4th grade. Ain't none of it rocket science. ;)

English ain't never done noone no goods, noways.

Axe me what I hate.

I hate when people use the words general populace together

Why can I see the dude in your avi saying this quote? :D

It is what it is.
