Everybody should stop saying these things:


"I could care less"
"It's besides the point"
"Nucular"

Any others?

“Gambit” is almost always used improperly. ALL that it means is “a player’s opening move in chess.” Period. It does not mean an overall
plan, only the first move in an overall plan.

I don’t give a damn how common a misuse or mispronunciation may be. It remains wrong.

Nice. I've never heard it used practically and I didn't know the meaning, but I like learning.

People should say what they like, you're not the boss of anybody.

Are too!

You're really one stubborn inbred retard actionkamen. This new account of yours is on ignore.

reply

You've mistaken me for someone else AND I won't get to enjoy more of the eloquent "you're not the boss of me!" style input you've contributed here? That is a shame.

reply

Not the boss, but the arbiter of taste and style, which, in many ways, is much more like important.

The human body had an argument over which body part should be the boss of the body. The brain and heart nominated themselves. So did the asshole. The collective body laughed at the asshole. Then the asshole shut itself down. After a couple weeks of no shitting, the body conceded that the asshole was the boss.

You don’t need to be competent to be the boss. You just need to be an asshole.

Being an authority on taste and style ranks much higher than that.

"Resources are stretched" makes sense to me. "Money is tight" doesn't.

Yikes....get away from anyone who says this to you.

reply

Oh I do! It's not that bad, she's irritable. I'll probably be the same way when I've got one foot in the grave.

reply

I usually say I couldn't care less.

reply

And you are correct to say it.

reply

After watching a movie they don't like...

That's 2 hours of my life I will never get back.

You don't get ANY hours of your life back whether you enjoy them or not.

And besides, it's an overdone cliche that should have stopped circa 1992.

reply

Agreed, that phrase is right up there with "Well, that just happened" and 'not' jokes in terms of wit and originality.
