Anyone else noticed 'ridiculous' turning up a lot? TV adverts for some online game calling it 'This ridiculous game!' and then 'A most ridiculous tournament' (believe original game is eastern european in origin) and also a bus advert for TK Maxx saying something like 'ridiculous decor options!'

i don't know where it came from but the phrase "a special kind of stupid" is a special kind of stupid

Ready to retire "unpack".

As in "[insert crazy shaggy dog story that goes on for ten minutes] and that's why you can't purchase clipboards through the catalog any more, you gotta go through Kim."

...

"Wow. I didn't know. That's a lot to unpack."

I'd be surprised if it hasn't been talked about on another thread but I can't stand it when it looks like someone's trying to load their thinkpiece with every classic/cliche social justice word. Nothing wrong with most of the words, often I even agree with the viewpoint of a piece that still manages to sound idiotic for using so many of those words. And it's only taken a couple of years for some of these word usages to be cliches and a lot of the time they're really inappropriate for what's being talked about.

There seems something really insistent about using those words as if making them as commonplace as possible is more important than writing persuasively.

Also when "cis het white male" is used and not all those categories are relevant to what's being discussed. "It'd be a shame not to include all four privileges".

The way every single British review of an album by someone from Australia or NZ feels the need to use the word 'Antipodean'

"Frit" ... for frightened. The only context I've ever heard this in is UK politics, in fact, I'm posting this because I just heard Polly Toynbee say it. Why would you want to sound like an Edwardian 5-year old?

pinky finger? why can't it be purpley finger?

how's life, Monday, 7 November 2016 15:44 (eight years ago)

well "pinky finger" is annoying as shit because it's redundant

What if one is describing an action that involves both pinky finger and pinky toe? Then it's important to specify.

jmm, Monday, 7 November 2016 15:57 (eight years ago)

Pinky toe? Who says that?

The Doug Walters of Crime (Tom D.), Monday, 7 November 2016 17:13 (eight years ago)

doctor: "so which toe is the pain, in mr s?"
mark s: "the one that had roast beef"

mark s, Monday, 7 November 2016 17:24 (eight years ago)

The second toe, "long toe" or "pointer toe"

I can't even move this toe individually, let alone point at stuff.

jmm, Monday, 7 November 2016 17:25 (eight years ago)

doctor: "so which toe is the pain, in mr s?"

doctor: "ah yes. the beef toe."

read an article today where someone said they were going to "double down on their efforts" which sounded a little risky tbh
