May 27, 20187 yr Author Oh my god, I just came across what might be my least favorite young person’s word of all: “low key”. I just saw something where the comment said, “this is low key clever af.” “Low key” is how the current generation of kids says, “This is cool/neat/great whatever, but I can’t risk showing enthusiasm for something so this is “low key clever af.” Edit: actually, it’s the cool new young person’s way of saying, “I don’t wanna sound like a queer or nothing but...” Edited May 27, 20187 yr by Goo Punch

May 27, 20187 yr A place I worked we would have contests on who could slip the most buzzword laden statement into a meeting. For instance when I laid down "At the end of the day, it is what it is. We simply don't have the bandwidth to engage this opportunity on a go forward basis." I scored well....

Fwiw, the assignment of area codes used a scheme when they were first rolled out to use the closer numbers together for the areas with more phones. So as to make it easier to dial. For instance, NYC started as 212. DC 202 Chicago 312 etc.

May 28, 20187 yr Just be glad they don't name the local exchanges anymore. My phone number in elementary school was area code 713 Homestead 50281 (HO5-0281). Brat had it easy though, his first phone number was 1. Edited May 28, 20187 yr by NeverMarryAStripper
May 28, 20187 yr Irregardless drives me nuts. I could care less also. I hate the misuse of literally. For sportscasters, I hate "caught the ball at its highest point". No, he didn't. Not even close.

May 28, 20187 yr And i use the phrase "in any event" way too much when i speak. I catch myself saying it and I hesitate mid sentence, wanting to flog myself.

You left out "paradigm" because you wanted the others to think they still had a chance.

May 30, 20187 yr Adding emphasis to an phrase or idea by adding ". . . the living shit out of . . . "
May 30, 20187 yr "Full stop" to assert an opinion. Or worse, "Period. Full stop." Well shit, I was going to challenge you, but since you pulled out the old full stop I guess it's game over. Full stop.

June 1, 20187 yr I want to punch every motherfucker that drives a Ford "Ex-cape". The name is on the car, can't you read? Also guys that refuse to use the make and model of their car, instead choosing to use the engine code that only they and their shitty ilk seem to know. "Oh, I drive an E92." "I really love my w112". Fuck you. You drive a 328i, just admit it. You're not fucking special. And when did "Merc" become the go to nickname for Mercedes Benz? It will always mean Mercury. GTFO with that shit.
