I know the feeling. It is the real thing. You can't refuse the embrace.

All right, kind of hate to say it, but it's time to stop telling ugly guys married to pretty women that they've "outkicked their coverage."
Phrase had a good run and - needless to say - scored a lot of points, but no, it's over.

You may have dodged it since you all haven't seen as many field-goal attempts from the 48-yard line as we have.

"right"
As in boss-speak, such as:
"We've got to get these numbers down to a managable level, right? That involves being more efficient in processes, right? Looking at our procedures and leveraging the other teams, right? etc etc etc etc , right?"
It's not a question, it's a way of assuming that people understand/agree with what you're saying without having to verify they actually do, and then to string together lots of these assumptions without ever having to take a break in speaking.

similarly, i really hate "no?" super condescending like:
"that is a terrible argument, no?"
"surely your statement falls on its face, no?"
"there are clearly more factors at play, no?
i speak some spanish and "no?" is used all the time and i don't mind it in that language. it's so ubiquitous and harmless and not used at all in the sense i'm describing

"bucket list" -- in addition to hating the concept, I just think it sounds gross. It makes me picture a bucket filled with fish guts, or manure, or harsh cleaning products or something.
― Doritos Loco Parentis (Hurting 2), Monday, 28 April 2014 18:49 (nine years ago) link
I mean, when I think of "what is important to me to do in my life" I definitely tend to picture those important things just kinda slopped together in a "bucket." And then I have a "list" of the things that are in that bucket, because otherwise it might be hard to know what was in the slop.
― Doritos Loco Parentis (Hurting 2), Monday, 28 April 2014 18:55 (nine years ago) link
I also hate "___ things to ___ before you die." Oh, before I die, that's clarifying, thank you.

yeah, that's so vulgar, i now use "place these x activities in your someday/maybe folder."

― Mayor Manuel (La Lechera), Monday, 28 April 2014 19:57 (nine years ago) link
i think romney used binders which is good because if you just tuck them into folders they might get away, whereas binders, they are actually fastened in there.

The idea of living to check a bunch of things off a list is in itself depressing to me. It sounds more like anxiety about having someone think you didn't enjoy your life than actually wanting to enjoy your life.

also bucket list is a phrase that came about because of that crappy morgan freeman/jack nicholson movie, right?
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Tuesday, 29 April 2014 14:51 (nine years ago) link
I think the phrase pre-dated the movie.

I've complained about this elsewhere but, and this is particularly endemic on Pinterest, when people will put up a list of fun activities and say "For the family's summer bucket list!" Like, are you planning on a family murder suicide in September or what?
