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

Fresh is definitely an adjective you want associated with sushi.

And you can definitely taste fresh vs. not fresh fish.

fresh = doesn't taste froxen

oope frozen

Froxen sounds cooler

might it be that diners who extol 'freshness' have perhaps had experiences with not-so-fresh dishes? I've certainly had a few dodgy plates in my time

my foodie best friend knows instantly when food is 'off'.

could it mean fresh as opposed to reheated frozen food?

Maybe! But how would a customer know?

...

Oh, I get it. But the number of times I've eaten out and had food I would consider "not fresh" I would maybe count on ... a few (memorable) fingers? Most of the time the food I eat tastes fine, and aside from a salad, maybe, would rarely make me proclaim its freshness. That's why I think it's a lot more useful to a describe a meal or dish as "not fresh," because most of the time it's well within the range of what I would consider "fresh."

Many xps but I prefer think "best" is short for "best wishes." Or "I wish you all the best."

this thread has been some “good medicine”.

“Be Best”
(Slovenian accent)

lol i forgot about that one

"Have the day you deserve"

"Live this day as though it were the last day of your life."

"Did you need help taking this out to your car? No? Then let your light proceed into the world and be a joy to all."

I used to sometimes ride a bus where the driver would get to the last stop and say "this is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."

that bus driver sounds like what we would now call a Total Chad

"i, as we all are, am an agent of the inevitable,"

that would be a good neutral sign off

"You are a part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor,

Neanderthal"

a simple "watch your back" would be effective and to the point

I use "All the best" as a secret reference to a Paul McCartney & Wings greatest hits record I used to own.

Gird your loins

Or, alternatively:

Grid your lions

I use "All the best" as a secret reference to a Paul McCartney & Wings greatest hits record I used to own.

lmao the first tape my dad ever dubbed me a copy of, because he was trying to make me a Macca/Beatles fan

the fast food version of "fresh" means cooked to order or very recently prepped, as opposed to the off days when mcdonalds would have a half-dozen quarter pounders sitting there in a warming tray for tens of minutes that they'd serve to you as opposed to assembling one on demand

lol yeah "par stocking" they call that, if I recall correctly from my ARby's days.

I worked at the McDonald's drive thru as a kid, and we used to punish people that ordered any variation from stock, like no pickles or no mustard: "Go park over there! It's gonna be a few minutes"

HOWEVER: because of that, they got a fresh burger rather than one that had been sitting under a heat lamp for a half hour

A Waygu beef Big Mac plz

what if sitting under the heat lamp for a half hour makes it taste better?

That's some Flaming Homer magic

the burger van that blessed the back of the nightclub down the island in the mid nineties would keep the cheeseburgers made and wrapped in a bain marie for an hour or more ready to serve us hungry animals at the 3am rush and lads ye can keeo yr wagyu afaic

I am only ordering Waygu to be cool

Dammit sp? AGAIN

"*checks notes*"

It's on the same level as "well, this is awkward", "I did a thing", "umm so that just happened", "did i just say that out loud?". Looking forward to its shelf life finally passing

"...and I'm here for it"

I like “checks notes”, it’s a way of achieving comic timing in text which is otherwise hard. Used out of that context it’s twee, granted.

It might be good for timing but it’s so overdone that it just feels lazy at this point. Someone posted about this itt in 2018 so I’m late to the party in being a hater!

it belongs along with all the rest in the jordan and peele sketch

Both Jordan and Peele? How delightful!

Both Jordan and Peele? How delightful!

dammit i knew that wasnt right and all when i was typing it

"consume media"
fuck off, i'm completing art.

I forget if this one's aleady done under the fold and I cbf opening the whole thread, but "edit", used to mean "a collection of clothing styles". Wha?

thank you

Never heard that...
Like: "Walmart released their winter edit yesterday"?

"Shop the edit" annoys me no end, and they all do it!

what if i want to shop the extended dub remix

the word Christmas annoys me a lot this time every year for no other reason other than hearing it so damn much as an adjective 100 times a day.

Christmas sweater, Christmas movie, Christmas music, Christmas tradition, Christmas spirit, Christmas party, Christmas special, Christmas dinner, Christmas rimjob, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas.

fully aware that this is a 'me' thing and that it's dumb but I think it's the awkward hissy "s"'s that grate on me.

Christmas rimjob

wait WUT?

The Jewish equivalent? Purimjobs.
