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

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!

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.

The Muslim equivalent? Ramadanal.

Hanukass

(This thread is almost ready for its 20th anniversary. Incidentally, I don't feel the same about 'veggie' as I did in 2003)

Have you had your Christmas fuck yet?

at the point now where I'm filled with quiet rage when I see people type out 'lmfao' in the middle of sentences. I know they are not convulsed with laughter 99.9999% of the time. if they are then there is something wrong with them.

Hearing this in my head to the tune (if that's the right word for it) of "Yes, I received your letter yesterday" from Desolation Row.

saying "edit" when the expected word is "collection" is a guaranteed way to draw attention. but, so is farting in a crowded elevator.

Do people still call records "platters"

‘Edit’ drives me nuts even when used properly to mean ‘one fashion editor’s picks from a designer’s collection/pieces seen at Fashion Week/stuff sent to the magazine this month’ but it is like nothing compared to the annoyance I feel for ‘curated’.

This may have been addressed upthread--in fact, it probably was--but the use of the shortened "thx" in lieu of "thanks," especially in emails, bugs the shit out of me. Is it really that much more effort to type six letters instead of three?

yes, indubitably

"Ta" is only two letters

As a U.S. resident, I would be rightly excoriated as a pretentious ass for using "ta" in virtually any context.

you can use the remaining unused letters to add “hun”

As a U.S. resident, I would be rightly excoriated as a pretentious ass for using "ta" in virtually any context.

You say that but I was listening to a Johnny Guitar Watson album literally last night and this album included the fine song, "I Want to Ta-Ta You Baby". The only problem is "ta-ta" means goodbye but Johnny was definitely intent on saying "thank you".

The use of the word "ta-tas" also irritates me.

As in, "She has a great pair of ta-tas."

men are pigs

Dogs, more like, I think.
