"Period"

 

Why is it that people with the most off the wall and idiotic opinions seem to think that if they conclude by saying "period," the rest of the world is required to agree with them?

Period.  The End.

 

I'm just saying

Well isn't that just special . I just figured I hit on a touchy subject 

 

Strangely, it’s seen as something of a badge of honor. 

 

 

Very strangely....... I know. 

 

But whatever. No malice intended (generally).

The term “public servant”. Just listened to the Chris Collins sentencing coverage and the judge acknowledged him being a “public servant”. This position paid him $170,000/year and a pension after one term, etc. He’s a millionaire.  Most of the Congressional reps and Senators are millionaires. Stop calling them public servants. Gone are the days of the local pharmacist or farmer going to “serve” their community for one or two terms and then returning to their careers at home. Politics IS a career. Get rid of the phrase “public servant”.

I'm really tired of the word "bring."   Not so much the word itself, as its constant misuse.  Bring has almost universally eclipsed the use of the word "take."  If it doesn't already grate on you, you wouldn't understand....

Is that the best that you can bring to this topic?

Physicality and compete as in "I didn't like our level of compete".  Stop trying to make words into things they aren't.  Plenty of good options to use there but somehow sports landed on it.  Mostly hockey.  

 

Oh and the stupid misattributed "quote", the definition of insanity.  I'll tell you what's it's not. It's not about repeating something. The definition is about mental health, something I'm all too familiar with.  The knuckle draggers at work use it incessantly.

Orientated.  Unless your a Brit, no use for this non word in out language. It's oriented.  

 

Just like conversate. Not a ***** word. I like Biggie as much as the next guy, Big Poppa is the only acceptable place to hear this word. ***** moronic.

“Life Hack”. No *****, everything is not a life hack. Because you figured out that putting your pants on both legs at a time saves .1 second on average, it isn’t a life hack. Putting a sandwich in a Tupperware container instead of a ziploc bag is not a life hack. Absolutely everything these days is a “life hack”. Completely overused word.

Grandma found them in ‘The Ladies’ Home Journal’ and the ‘Buffalo Evening News’.  They were then referred to as ‘Heloise Hints’.  ‘Life Hacks’ my a$$.

500 up, 500 down. The optics are JUST. FINE.

There was a time when "optics" meant "appearance" and the world seemed to get by OK.

 

I hate this optics crap too.

This optics crap is what brings you TSW, streaming TV, Internet porn, and being able to buy just about anything on the planet and have it delivered to your house in 2 days or less
