GRIEVING CAT HAZ INVIZIBUL HANKURCHIF

Any phrase that is paired with the word "wonk" makes me want to die.

building a desert (art), Friday, 6 June 2014 14:07 (nine years ago) link

it's not so much that i want to die, but that i want to meet with an anti-matter version of myself and after exchanging pleasantries we decide to part ways and as we bid adieu we shake hands and the collision obliterates the planet and every memory of 'wonk' along with it and all that remains of 'wonk' is the quantity of radio bandwidth, which contains a smattering of 'wonk', that has already been scattered into the universe upon which i must rely on the laws of probability and the vastness of space to dispel into meaningless oblivion.

well that's the same thing, for all intensive purposes

it's intriguing how "Like" has really ceased to signify approving of a thing for some time but Facebook are too megalomaniac to change it to a more appropriate term

I was also thinking it's weird how flat "like" is. Like there's no perceptible difference between a pity like, a tepid like, and an enthusiastic like.

I've often wished I could "hate" certain posts

should be a range of response to select from and then a little bar chart compiling them

Roberto Spiralli, Friday, 6 June 2014 16:43 (nine years ago) link

You have no idea what someone actually means when they "like" a post but don't say anything else. Sometimes I just scroll through and barely even think about some of the stuff I "like" in my feed.

think it may have been brought up on ilx b4 but i rly hate seeing "baby" used singularly, generically e.g. headlines like "foods that are good for baby" argh grates so much

wenus villiams (qiqing), Thursday, 12 June 2014 04:17 (nine years ago) link

People still wonder how is babby formed, though

Josefa, Thursday, 12 June 2014 05:30 (nine years ago) link

Have we had 'peak' yet? As in 'We have reached peak beard' to describe a trend so prevalent it is about to fall out of fashion?

This is as opposed to UK street slang where 'peak' is used to mean 'egregious' or very obviously bad, a phrase I kind of love.

It's so weird and jarring. I was just reading a book about how to feed babies (through the mouth, generally) and was wondering if that usage is codified in a style guide or something since it is so common.

carl agatha, Thursday, 12 June 2014 11:02 (nine years ago) link

I'm ok with baby in the context but hate babby.

Jeff, Thursday, 12 June 2014 11:16 (nine years ago) link

I wish people wouldn't use the term "special snowflake" derisively. it upsets me.

Sorry you're too much of a precious flower to suffer being called that.

its figuring how much to tip the chief mourner that keeps me away from funerals

dn/ac (darraghmac), Sunday, 15 June 2014 19:37 (nine years ago) link

I spose if the service was good and the body was still warm by the time they brought it out I'd go to maybe 20%

not crazy about "when the shit hits the fan" but i can't say i hate it.

marcos, Friday, 20 June 2014 15:27 (nine years ago) link

"low-hanging fruit" jesus christ how many times do high-level supervisors really need to say this? liked it the first few times but think of other words, please.

"shits and giggles" really annoys me for some reason

Barry Gordy (Neil S), Friday, 20 June 2014 15:38 (nine years ago) link

How do you feel about "shiggles"?

carl agatha, Friday, 20 June 2014 15:43 (nine years ago) link

Barry Gordy (Neil S), Friday, 20 June 2014 15:44 (nine years ago) link

dislike shits and grins, but then i think that's mostly down to hating the word "grin" idk why.

52 hertz so good (Hunt3r), Friday, 20 June 2014 15:46 (nine years ago) link

would prefer "shits while giggling" or "shittin' and grinnin'"
