"moving forward""touch base""killed/killing/kill it"
― Loo Reading (Capitaine Jay Vee), Thursday, 4 October 2012 22:11 (thirteen years ago)
This is more of a pet peeve-y thing but adding only "So" before a word as a response and ... nothing more.
"That movie was great!""So good."
"Did you watch the debates?""So boring."
I don't know why this irks me but it does.

it was an interesting post to read at 4:40 in the morning - the perfect time to read language log I find - but when I hear that phrase I just assume a speedy fusing of two separate sentences: "Can I help?" and "Who's next?"

I think it's just an unfancy way of saying "I shall now assist whosoever may be the forthcoming person in the line"

i see "...and whatnot" everywhere now. i read it all the time. even in stuff by really smart people.
― scott seward, Thursday, 4 October 2012 23:03 (thirteen years ago)
i used it in my youtube videos as a gag, but ever since i started doing them i hear/see it all the time. you know, any list of things followed by "and whatnot".
― scott seward, Thursday, 4 October 2012 23:05 (thirteen years ago)
i like using 'and whatnot'!much better than swearing like a sailor.

another sports one (basketball): "Icewater in his veins!" because to me that evokes a dude who would be shivery and uncomfortable, not cool under pressure.

has their been any hatred for "could care less" yet? that one makes me cringe, like i have icewater in my veins.

In the 7th grade, the coach told me I had icewater in my veins after I hit two clutch free throws against St. Bavo. Presumably the icewater would absorb the excess heat caused by the stressful situation. Perhaps the equilibrium would be a stable 98.6. Use your imagination.

"I'm just spitballing here but..."
Said often by dudes in office meetings and it's usually followed by a terrible idea.

"Deep cuts." I'll adjust. We used to call them album tracks. Deep cuts sounds so...elevated, if the first albums you owned were by the Guess Who and the Partridge Family.

I don't like "balls-out" "balls to the wall" or "boom-boom room". I just find them all ugly sounding.

as we move further from the 2012 election cycle, "skin in the game" has become more infrequently used, thankfully. still hear it occasionally though and it makes my skin crawl.

British people saying "jonesing", like they even know what it means. I don't know what it means. What *does* it mean?
― ewar woowar (or something), Tuesday, 1 October 2013 20:44 (twelve years ago)
Although I suppose that's just a word. How about "I'm totally jonesing on the banh mi at (wherever)".
― ewar woowar (or something), Tuesday, 1 October 2013 20:51 (twelve years ago)
I've never heard jonesing *on*" something - only jonesing *for* something.
― disgruntled punter (Je55e), Tuesday, 1 October 2013 20:59 (twelve years ago)
jonesing *for* something means you have an addict-type craving for something. I think it might have started as heroin slang?
