my rant on commonly used phrases

the following is a list of commonly used phrases that irk me to no end. so stop using them:
1.'good times'- bad grammar. for the love of god, quit stealing the heading from some myspace page and get some originality.
2. 'bat shit'- often used to describe someone/thing that is crazy. excuse me, bat shit, also known as guano, is very useful. call me bat shit and i might take it as a compliment.
3. 'my bad'- bad grammar strikes again. yes, you are bad. and you're even worse for using such a poo-poo sandwich of a phrase to convey an apology. if you want to say 'i'm sorry' , say it. 'my bad' just doesn't cut it. i'll be even angrier if you use this phrase on me.
4. 'what's crackin'/poppin'/hangin'?'- i'm sorry, but my daily affairs do not crack, pop, or hang for any reason at all. i'll settle with 'what's going on?'
5. 'OMG'- just say it, damnit. I have enough acronyms making thier way into my vocabulary and I dont need another. Whenever I hear this phrase, all i can imagine is a twelve year old myspace whore bitching about not getting her period. And i like it when folks use the lord's name in vain.
6. 'that's a bummer'- yes, it certainly is. thanks for stating the obvious. But what exactly is a bummer?
7. 'douchebag'- okay, that's just plain revolting. stop putting dirty pictures in my head.
8. 'Laugh out loud/LOL' -instant message phrases should NEVER, ever, be used in any conversation outside of the computer realm. Not even the acronyms. Not only is it unoriginal, its also way too nerdy for any respectable conversation.
9. 'Like fire'- you can pretty much apply this phrase to anything. However, its almost never used to form a coherent simile. 'You're bright like a fire' is a good way to use this phrase, 'That's awesome, like fire it is!' is not.
10. 'That's hot'- not only has this phrase been used relentlessly like a $5 crack whore, it conjures up the image of Paris Hilton. When I think of Paris Hilton, I want to kill myself and anyone who uses this phrase I immediatly compare to this disgusting, useless piece of shit. Spare your dignity and use another phrase.

Well I got nothing to say now...

I make my own phrases up, my latest one

"wootness"

my favorite one has to be "awesome sawsome"

other than that, I agree, its just that those phrases are there and available for people to use who arent creative enough to make thier own words

You're pretty angry.

Thats hot, poping hot.

my bad, i forgot you didn't like that.
:)

some people just don't care if it's bad grammar or not.

it gets the point across right?

i think alot of these are just the kind of slang used in todays youth, so my question is how old are you?

when people are telling a story and say "so i was all like....." that makes me mad, and filling in spots in the story with blah blah blah. If the story was interesting enugh to tell, tell the whole thing. also people who speak in internet lingo.. ie accualy saying "ROFL!" like it's some hip new word.

i say about half of the ones you listed every day.

the one you seem to have forgotten is "like". saying "like" every three seconds in a conversation drives me freakin' insane. that and "you know" are left overs from that damn valley girl phase that should never have occurred in the first place. 'cause it's like such a bummer, you know.

Some of those piss me off. But anytime I hear people say anything new it just smacks of effort. I don't like when people aren't natural, just say what you are feelin', even if it doesn't sound that hip :thumbsup:

when people use the phrase : 'i heart' instead of saying i love

thats about as cool as a school bus full of children on fire.

Don't worry about it guy! I'm just kidding guy
^^^Thoes irritate me.^^^
Use MY name, I have one for a reason, unless it's on here, you all can just call me Chuck.

i enjoi saying "whats poppin" :p

I like 'chilly bananas' a lot. It's cool.

what up bat shit

You just seem like a very angry person. Why do you really care what kind of language or vocabulary people use. Worry about yourself. You think you are like the speech police or some shit? Some Big Brother shit. haha. I think you just need to relax and smoke a blunt and let people say what the fuck they want to fucken say.

Yeah, relax, let ppl say what they want to say...

benefits of chat are to use less grammar and use slang/phrases...

that's why its addicting and ppl chat so much, cuz you can type whatever the hell you want, freedom....

if we all went by perfect grammar, and proper phrases, nobody would want to be on a msg board or chat in the first place... that's what schools for lol

so just smoke and just chillll :)

i'm 19. and i get angry quite often. this is a rant, you dont have to agree with me.

Bummer means unpleasant/dissappointing/lame.

It's a real word.




You have to be the first person I've met that rants about the word douchebag. It's such a fun thing to say.



I think you haven't toked enough. So quit your ranting and get high motherfuckah.

i woke up this morning, smoked a bowl with matt. went to class, ate, smoked again then wandered back here to ol' cannabis.com forums. it's 'thirsty thursday' bitch, and i'm one perpetually angry pothead. so gimme a goddamn beer.

Ok I use a few words in there so I just have to say I hope you really don't seriously have an issue with those phrases or what ever. If you're raised in the South you're probably gonna have a souther accent. If you live in Asia you're more than likely going to be speaking what ever language they speak. So if I'm raised up on the phrases and way of speech that I use I don't feel I should change how I am just to please who ever has a problem with it.

preach it, sista!

i agree with some of them being annoying. i tend to say 'my bad' a lot when i'm high though.

OMG lol... that's a bummer you get so angry over common phrases.. i'm bat shit insane but they don't bother. i guess i'm a douchebag for this post, that's hot like fire, so what else is crackin? my bad if i made you mad

:D

Some people used "bummer" as short for a bad trip (on something that's not supposed to be mentioned here), "Hey man, it started out good but after a few hours it was a bummer". The word morphed into other usages.

bum·mer (bmr)
n.
1. Slang An adverse reaction to a hallucinogenic drug.
2. Slang One that depresses, frustrates, or disappoints: Getting stranded at the airport was a real bummer.
3.
a. A loafer or idler.
b. A beggar

bummer - definition of bummer by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

I second that

I use those words ^^
Theres 2 kinds of language for meh..Familiar (spoken) and written (except on the computer, even though I try to put some more effort in my english on the boards to make it easier to read, and I think those words dont change anything)

By the way, english is all about laziness(sp?) in the first place imo. I mean, its the only language I know where you can use contractions such as ''don't'' and ''it's'' when writing.

man, you need to chill bizzle and have a good dank joint.

I don't care what people say, providing I can understand them. Really poor spelling irritates me more than slang. Sometimes I will deliberately use slang or dialect to get my point across, or to make my point funnier. Dig?

This is worse than when some guy kept going off over and over in a thread because some said they had a good trip on weed.

1. Can be grammatically correct, if you talk about a few different times, then it's grammatically incorrect to refer to them as "good time"
2. Bat shit or ape shit as most people around here say. Big deal, some people say "holy cow" but those don't even exist.
3. "My bad" Sometimes you want to point out something you did without apologizing. I'm not gonna apologize for some spilled grape drink on MY counter.
4. what's crackin or poppin: I don't use these, but can you honestly say you've never asked someone what was up? it's the same thing.
5. and 8. OMG ROFL. Some people ARE nerds and aren't bothered by it, and use these acronyms in daily life (or even try to say the acronym as a word) to let you know what kind of person they are.
6. Someone got that already
7. Douchebag is funny. Get over it.
9. Like fire: who cares? is there slang that you use.. any at all? ever?
10. That's hot: well, it could be, it doesn't conjure up images of Paris Hilton for me tho, because I don't watch entertainment tonight everyday and read the enquirer.
