"Hey bro, let's jam" is the worst thing you could ever say to me.

is it a verb?? is it an adjective??? if your not sure, than don't use it...

Entirely too many people use that word constantly without realizing they're doing it.

"Hey bro, let's jam" is the worst thing you could ever say to me.

I get REALLY pissed when I read this and imagine somebody saying this to me.

It's annoying when somebody calls me "dude" constantly (I can deal with it though), but when somebody calls me "bro" I just want to kill that motherfucker.

A friend of mine plays drums and I have a drumset in my living room. He called me one day and said "Hey bro, we should jam" so I told him to come over then refused to let him in. He learned his lesson.

That is awesome, if it's true.

Good for you, man.

RE: Phrases that should be used less than they are...

Seriously:

"Too funny."

1. There's no such thing.

2. Whenever someone describes something as such, it's a certified guarantee that it's not even mildly amusing, and the describee is a fucking inbred.


cue the schlomos saying "too funny" just to prove my point

The words "too funny" are only good when followed up with a totally fake laugh.

Example: Too funny! Heh heh.

Also, I should've pointed out that black people may be unfamiliar with the term, since it seems to be more prominent amongst white people with no senses of humor.

I just happen to have known a guy in my past who would take a great deal of joy in being rude to people right in their faces. If someone made a joke and he didn't think it was that funny, he would offer up an obviously fake little chuckle so that you would know exactly how little you amused him. He did this to everyone - friends, family, strangers.

He worked in service jobs and was forced to tell people "have a nice day." So he practiced a way to say it in the most insincere way possible.

When you're a teenager, that kind of guy is hilarious. When you're in your mid 20s, you figure out that it's kind of sad.

Also, I've been known to do stuff like that, don't know why, I think maybe I'm just a dick.

That wasn't my habit. It was my homeboy's habit. I broke the habit by realizing I was a much nicer person than he is.

I agree. Even within running what makes the 100m the race to decide fastest man.

Bukdow might argue he's the fastest man [smilie=master_emot:

It might be premature to say this, but I'm sure women have observed men do their business much faster than Bolt or Phelps. Faster isn't always better.

Banned words list offers no 'bailout' to offenders

Jeff Karoub, Associated Press Writer – Tue Dec 30, 4:14 pm ET

DETROIT – A movie about a "maverick," his journey "from Wall Street to Main Street," his "desperate search" for a "monkey" and a "game-changing" revelation about his "carbon footprint" probably would make the nation's word-watchers physically ill.

Especially if it were the "winner of five nominations."

All those words and phrases are on Lake Superior State University's annual List of Words to Be Banished from the Queen's English for Mis-use, Over-use and General Uselessness. The 34th version of the list was released Tuesday, which means, "It's that time of year again."

The school in Michigan's Upper Peninsula selected 15 entries from about 5,000 nominations.

Despite the year's economic meltdown (which itself wasn't banished but don't rule it out for next year), the most entries came from the environmental category — for "green" or "going green."

"If I see one more corporation declare itself 'green,' I'm going to start burning tires in my backyard," wrote Ed Hardiman of Bristow, Va., in his submission. Nominators also had their fill of "carbon footprint" — the amount of greenhouse gases an individual's lifestyle produces.

The list wasn't overrun with politics despite the national election — no "change," for instance — but one simply couldn't escape the critics' wrath.

"I'm a maverick, he's a maverick, wouldn't you like to be a maverick, too?" offered Michael Burke of Silver Spring, Md., in his entry for the label embraced by unsuccessful Republican presidential candidate John McCain.

Also knocked was "first dude," a term adopted by Todd Palin, husband of McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

Words related to the economy led to a few meltdowns.

"I am so tired of hearing about everything affecting 'Main Street.' I know that with the 'Wall Street' collapse, the comparison is convenient, but really, let's find another way to talk about everyman or the middle class, or even, heaven forbid, 'Joe the Plumber.'" wrote Stacey from Knoxville, Tenn. She provided only a first name in her bid to eradicate — or at least separate — Wall Street" and "Main Street."

Although this year's sluggish economy and record rise in gas prices may have kept people closer to home, the word coined for it, "staycation," is "idiotic and rootless," says Michele Mooney of Los Angeles.

An emoticon made the list for the first time. The strings of characters used in e-mails and text-messaging commonly represent a face — like ;-) or :-0 — but the school singled out an emoticon heart, formed with a "less than" symbol and the number 3.

"Monkey" was on the list because of what some see as its rampant use as a suffix. "Especially on the Internet, many people seem to think they can make any boring name sound more attractive just by adding the word 'monkey' to it," wrote Rogier Landman of Sommerville, Mass.

The school's annual quest to throw lexicon logs on the fire always gets some end-of-the-year attention for the school in Sault Ste. Marie, the last stop before Michigan's northern border crossing with Canada. But the list is more about letting off steam and offering laughs than performing any verbal vanishing act.

"We get several nominations for the same word or phrase, and we still get nominations for words and phrases that have been on previous years' lists," said university spokesman Tom Pink.

"'At this point in time' was on the first list in 1976 and it continues to be nominated every year. People still hate it."

Think these gendarmes of jargon should "get a life"? Watch it, kiddo. That phrase was banished in 1997.

"We're having kids"

"I do"

I am so tired. I didn't where else to post this and I thought I'd let y'all know that.

I"m going to go take a nap before tonight.

"Retarted"

Especially when it's spelled like that? damn retart

Drives me nuts. I don't know whether people are doing it on purpose, or if they genuinely think it's spelled that way.

^Because it seems like people have a penchant for doing things just to piss me off, I'm convinced it's the former.

Thats 'rediculous'

They even PRONOUNCE it like retarted. That's what gets me.

Now I'm no Nazi when it comes to this shit, but this just really grinds my gears.

Thats frickin retarted that they do that. Not very intelligent.

The reading level of this country is slightly above the retarted line... it's rediculous.

I've never interpreted this as "smug." I've always interpreted it as "juvenile." It's the kind of thing a hyperactive teenager would say, not realizing how inappropriate it is.

EDIT: The most smug thing I've ever heard anyone say in conversation is "Q.E.D." as in "I just fucking served you" but with Latin abbreviations. It's the kind of shit "Bukdow" would say.
