Words, usages, and phrases that annoy the shit out of you...

Big toe, wee toe, rest o' yer toes. That works for me.

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

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

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

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

doctor: "ah yes. the beef toe."

love trumps hate

"love trump's hate, gotta love it"

redouble our efforts

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

"flip flop" used when someone changes their position once. that's just a flip.

It's sad flop was a flop

in the same category as when star wars fans say "hey, it's star wars day!! <expectant grin> ... may the 4th!! <expectant grin> ... get it? <expectant grin> ... may the 4th!! <expectant grin> ..."

going forward

^ does a job the rest of the sentence has already handled, e.g. "going forward, we will..."; "these are our plans going forward...". honestly it's more like a phonic tic than language.

Yep. If the sentences uses the future tense, why add 'going forward'? Five years ago it didn't exist.

*sentence. Apparently I gotta work on my subject-verb agreement.

middle managers in the it behemoth i worked for in the '90s used 'going forward' so many times it became a running joke.

on the topic of redundant bullshit in speech (and this might be uniquely australian idk): people in retail/hospitality whacking 'today' at the end of questions/statements like it's god damned punctuation. "are you just browsing today?", "that comes to $36 today", "would you like a bag today?" etc etc.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY.. TODAY

Let me guess, USA?

where else

in response i want to be like

"BLESSED BE"

or

"and peace be WITH YOU"

or "and hallowed be THY name good sir!!!"

FUCK YOU 2016

2016, I hate you

ugh! another legend gone!! RIP! fuck 2016, the worst year ever

ANOTHER???? jesus. when will 2016 be over???

No worries, 2017 is going to be indisputably great. I can just feel it!

I'm going to continue to blame 2016 for musician deaths next year. It's all 2016's fault.

when bbc historians use the present tense the cunts

being that 2016 has been one of the worst years for many people close to me, I can be fairly sympathetic to them saying things like that.

"self-reflection"

Redundant doggerel that's popular in educational administrative circle.

"virtue signaling"

please retire this one before year's end

also, Marcos otm re "ugh just hit the reset button on 2016 already"

wish we could bring back the glory days of 2015, when people we like didn't die at all

what are the odds that an octogenarian I've heard of would die

xpost and for the families of the people who died at Pulse, friends who were made temporarily homeless, or friends of friends who had spouses drown while they were 5 months pregnant, would you give them a reprieve?

cos a lot of my friends are saying "eff 2016" but it's not cos a 80 year old celebrity died.

Yeah I don't know about anyone else but I was specifically attacking your friends who had a bad year and not just talking about a stupid celebrity death meme

slightly ashamed at the fact that i'm eagerly waiting the first celeb death of 2017 so i can make a "FUCK YOU 2016" Facebook post about it

There will be a lot of that tho, the savages who made #2016 a thing will be like "are we sure it isn't still 2016?" or "2016 2: electric boogaloo" and then we'll never be free of this shit.

Kevin Ageusia Smith (wins) wrote this on thread the psychology and politics of talking about CELEBRITY DEATH on the internet (and ilx) on board I Love Everything on 21-Apr-2016

This doesn't really bother me except the "2016" meme is fucking infantile, it's like everyone's into talking about the 27 club or whatever bullshit all of a sudden

Can't believe I was complaining about this idiotic shit back in april - one of the lesser horrors of modern life is that sinking feeling that comes with the realisation "they aren't going to get bored of this one, are they". SaaaaaD!

tt bought a sarah kane collection yesterday and reading the author bio i realised she was probably in the 27 club

wow goosebumps

exceppppt she wasn't, now i look it up. died in february but born earlier in february

fuck february right #butimanaquarius #sad

So OTM. Fuck you, 2016.

"creatives" for people who create, seems nitpicky right?

"you get what you get and you don't throw a fit"

i hate it so much

also when idiot coworkers call coffee "bean juice"

"you get what you get and you don't throw a fit"

lol who says this, your mum?

nb if who's saying this is not your mum they need to fuck off w/that with immediate effect obv

"Toys out of the pram". I also don't like 'hissy fit'.
