Saying pause unnecessarily after pseudo gay statements is juvenile. Like back when dudes used "Deez nuts" as a gotcha joke. Difference is most of us grew out of it.

Grown men who should know better by now are still saying pause after every other sentence.
Not sure if I should be offended....lol

J/K...I set this account up 20 years ago. One of my buddies used to use this shit all the damn time!!

At a lost for words. It's LOSS for words.


I cringe every time I hear Black folk use the following terms:

Drunk the kool aid

Call a Spade a Spade

Hate when the media says or writes that someone has a _______problem. It's derived from when they complained about the " Negro problem".

@850credit Brah, stay away from humans at this point. :lol:
You're one word away from going postal on a person.


I'm a lover of linguistics and etymology. But you are correct, ignorance is bliss (generally, not calling you ignorant).

But also that's how language changes over time.

Like people feeling they have to say pause even when nothing they said is remotely gay.

Whew!

I'm glad you reposed the way you did because, for a second, I thought you'd respond, "I also hate the use of the phrase, going postal. Postal has an etymological definition, and the new-age use of the word sickens me. If I hear another person using this phrase, then my response will happily oblige according to their misuse of the word by me putting my foot up their ass." Haha.

I had to do you dirty. Pause.
:roflmao:

I often read or hear “I could care less.” It’s COULDN’T care less!” Professionals do it more than you assume. I have to correct this shit in reports and keynote addresses and I get crazy pushback.

A coworker always writes “back at it again”. I remind him that, in casual situations, it’s fine, but in our setting it’s redundant. “Back at it” your point is made. Saying “again” compounds it. The most adverse affect from my work is my inability to turn off my human autocorrect. At thanksgiving my nieces and sister all overly used the word LIKE and it drove me crazy. lol. A woman on my team will open with “Okay, so, like, here’s our plan going forward..” and I remind her to simply say “Our plan is to…” streamline, eliminate, etc..”. Get to the point!

Another from work is “if I’m being truthfully honest…” Redundant! Honesty IS being truthful.

“For me, myself, personally, I….” Same thing 4 times. Simply write or say “I..” “Well, for Me, myself, personally..”. Simply say “I…” Word salad forces me to tune you out after hearing what I need. At conferences I correct them and they hate it. LOL. “That’s just how I say it!” Well, stop.

Lawyer demand you say ONLY what’s needed, with few words—preferably, ONE.

A podcaster I tolerated titled his vidoes “The real truth about why..”. Real, truth and WHY are the same things! “The real truth about why I think Trump got elected again!” is babble. “3 reasons Trump was re-elected.” Done!

Pet peeve: ending a sentences with the word BEFORE.

You ask “Have we met?”

I’ve never met you…before.
I’ve never met you…before….in my life.
I’ve never met you…before…ever…in my life.
No, I don’t think we’ve ever met…before.

Answer: NO.

Everything after the word “you” is compounding or redundant. “We’ve never met.” Done.
