phuo: there's nothing more cringe than "creative" Joss Whedonesque swearing (eg poo poo like "fucknugget" or whatever). again, this applies to english and to all other languages that share this "feature"

Anyone trying to quip in real life needs to get punched in the face.

Me crush ass to dust

I wanted to violently vomit when I saw the Rise of Skywalker trailer and Poe said, "They fly now? They fly now!" which is the most Whedon line in a Star Wars movie.

A tangled skein of bad opinions, the hottest takes, and the the world's most misinformed nonsense. Do not engage with me, it's useless, and better yet, put me on ignore.
"Cringe" as an adjective and "fail" being used as a noun.

I know how language works, but I don't have to like it :mad:

We haven't had that spirit here since 1969.

We're doing word pet peeves? Mine is the word "disrespect" being used as a verb instead of as a noun. It isn't actually an incorrect usage, but it sounds like it should be wrong and my brain always wants to flag it as a grammatical error.

joss whedon needs to be punished for his crimes against pop culture

My three... Tarot, which I'll always pronounce as tear-ot. Strop, which I pronounce with a long O. The short sounds make me wince for those two words, even though I tend to "French" other things. (When I first saw Les Schwab tire centers, yes, "lay Schwab"; it was 5-10yr later before I heard an ad and took minutes figuring out who they were talking about. Also tarjay department/general stores.)

And the third is mathematics, which is shortened as math; there is no five letter form. :colbert:


In terms of usage, viral was apparently added in 1999 to mean "rapid spread of information", with later appearances of "viral video" and "go viral". I claim at some point they should have updated again because now when I hear it I translate it as plebian/(the) mob.

And when people don't use "fewer" :eng99: I usually correct them if our relationship permits.

This is a significant portion of SA and probably 85% of anyone who was ever a father, given the uptick in suffixing everything with "dad joke :cheersdoge:".

(spills Christmas party beverage while trying to drink)
"Well you sure got ... punched in the face" (Bevis laugh) "dad joke".

Stewart Lee said he despised Hammond for his lovely racist jokes and for laughing at jokes about blind people that Jeremy Clarkson did.
