    Mis-use of the phrase "the exception that proves the rule" annoys the hell out of me.

    BTW, Americans can still use "ass", it's from the dialect of your country ... it's when Brits say "ass" instead of "arse" that annoys me ... Americans saying British terms tickles me though. I enjoy that.

    Well hell, I thought I was being an ass by saying arse, now you tell me i'm an ass because arse is ok if I use it instead of ass, it's only you guys that should say arse instead of ass, but arse is ok, just don't use ass if....

    I posted this in the shout box, but it belongs here too:

    Here's a saying I can't stand: "There is no 'I' in team."

    Nope, you're right. There is no "I" in team... but there IS an "M" and an "E" so SUCK IT, MOTIVATIONAL POSTER!

    i've never heard that one.


    another phrase that should be forever stricken from the english language is "man up."

    calling adults by childish nicknames always irritates me. what frickin' adult would want to go around being called "buster" or "scooter." the nicknames used for athletes really piss me off. anyone who calls an athlete "king", "doc", etc. is a total fucking moron.

    I'm not sure if I already posted this one, and I'm too damn lazy to check.

    People who use "cent" insted of "cents"

    For example:

    Dude 1: "Hey man, I need some change for the bus. It costs a dollar but I only have a quarter. Can I borrow some from you?"

    Dude 2: "Sorry man, I only have 15 cent."

    *brain starts to boil*

    It's CENTS you moron! It's called pluralization! When there's more than one, ADD THE DAMN "S"!

    *takes a deep breath*

    How about "fiddy" then? that must drive you up the wall too. Can't stand that nonsense. How difficult is it to say "Fifty"?

    Or "moms"...FFS

    Thing is, how this crap flies around a given social group. It's amazing at how rapid such things are picked up.

    YES! "Fiddy" replacing "Fifty" is as bad as "cent" replacing "cents"

    How quaint is it that one person can be so dumb as to put those two non-existent words together and call it a "name"


    shootem - I think "Like a boss" is basically just another phrase for "badass" or someone who just doesn't give a shit - something along those lines. Here's an example:

    Oh!

    That's a new one to me so.

    Seeing as most bosses I've met in my life have been wankers, that saying doesn't really ring true.

    BTW Lou, over in Europe it's actually Euro and Cent. There's no plural.

    Don't think many people give a tinker's cuss though, in general.
