wtf call it meat?

We don't call other stuff codmeat or tilapiameat or lobstermeat.

Also, shellfish is weird.

"Due to the fact that... " pales before the phrases

- as you can see
- as I have indicated
- as I proven
- as should be clear
- in conclusion
- in summary

Appending -fish or -meat is a necessity with tinned or frozen product, as the provenance of a grayish protein isn't always obvious.

interesting footnote - meat used to mean food in general and only came to mean animal flesh later on. there's a vestige of the original meaning in sweetmeat which isn't meat at all obv.

soda, ugh, yes. that comes from years of shit teaching in high schools which sadly is used even in Honors level classes.

When I made it into AP English I took forever to succeed because I kept using what they taught me in Honors and the teacher was all like "lol that's bullshit".

the pinefox, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 14:03 (eight years ago)

this is part of the whole serialized "nu-golden age" of TV shit, but i hate "Big Bad" as both a phrase and increasingly as lazy in both idea and execution.

nomar, Saturday, 11 March 2017 20:25 (eight years ago)

Yeah what's the origin of that

wins, Saturday, 11 March 2017 20:41 (eight years ago)

Big Bad is a term originally used by the Buffy the Vampire Slayer television series to describe a major recurring adversary, usually the chief villain or antagonist in a particular broadcast season.[1][2] It has since been used to describe annual villains in other television series, and has also been used in scholarly work discussing Buffy the Vampire Slayer.[1][3]

lol shoulda known

wins, Saturday, 11 March 2017 20:43 (eight years ago)

a but (brimstead), Saturday, 11 March 2017 21:02 (eight years ago)

brown sauce is lush but it's existence led to the not so lush "red sauce" for tomato ketchup

snappy baritone (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 11 March 2017 21:06 (eight years ago)

Brown sauce, red sauce, salsa verde, salsa roja all good

snappy baritone (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 11 March 2017 21:16 (eight years ago)

mark THAT style of boss i love. it's almost as great as getting called "chief".

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Saturday, 11 March 2017 23:44 (eight years ago)

"Big bad" is so annoying but so is lots of Whedony stuff.

Robert Adam Gilmour, Sunday, 12 March 2017 00:21 (eight years ago)

SOP = please just say instructions
CONOPS = can we just say "charter" when that's what we mean
Work Instruction = please just say instructions
"Joint-" sorry, I have to ask you some questions before we continue
"Team Lead" THAT'S NOT A THING
