Words, usages, and phrases that annoy the shit out of you...

one of my old friends uses the phrase "poops" as a noun to describe an individual bathroom visit.

one example, she posted her weight online and in the discussion, said "after poops, I think I'll be at 105".

I blame the Impractical JOkers

Jesus

that sucks

why is she posting her weight online?!?!?

it was one of those exercise/fitness milestone posts

still
that sounds problematic

more so than 'poops'

lots of people who are starting a fitness regimen like to post things like that in a means of saying "look how far I've come", I don't begrudge them. though I see your point w/ the potential for people on social media to harass people over such posts

I do not hate the indian and romany words mentioned upthread - these are good words usages and phrases

Anyone who discusses their toilet habits on the internet needs to examine their life, I would think.

(and yes I dont need to be reminded of the existence of threads here such as "most unacceptable thing to ever come out of your arse", thanks very much)

seems very weird to say "after poops I'll be <this weight>" since everybody in the world knows weight fluctuates by a few pounds throughout the day and can connect the (stinky) dots

A lotta people review their colonics on Yelp. I don't pretend to understand it, but the negative reviews are often good for a laugh

Oh good lord.

I think I've heard "For shits and giggles" one too many times.

maybe but if you are STARTING your fitness regimen at 105 lbs and aren't like 3 feet tall, there may be cause for concern

Or if you're 150lbs before poops

I don't remember what her actual weight was

Lol President

"muh"

"cuppa tea". Either say "cup of tea" or "cuppa" but to say "cuppa tea" is just wrong
WHO'S WITH ME?

otm

"cup of" only if a saucer is involved

mugga

^^^this wd please the shit out of me tbh

Turkey absolutely piss on England in annual per capita consumption of tea, so I wish shit comedy writers on R4 + dickheads like Rees Mugga would stop presenting it as something quintessentially English. Everyone knows in the UK only the Scottish actually grow any tea, and it costs a bomb and tastes like pish.

I'm from the West of Scotland, we don't pronounce the word 'of'. Nonentheless, 'cuppa' seems very 70s, see below...

"and so on and so forth", i.e. I don't know what to say next but please hold the line while my Celeron brain buffers the next sentence

A new low

Cornwall grows some

"great"

Very specifically, the "great" in "great britain"

Very very specifically, as uttered by the vapid pondscum procured by british television to offer what might laughably be excused as analysis or commentary on sporting events in which british athletes compete

sorry, "compete"

The original usage is fine, just means the biggest island of the British Isles, sounds fair enough. The use of it to describe everything as the "Great British Whatever" really puts my teeth on edge though.

It's the ringing declamation aspect in the specific offered

"Cornwall grows some"

there ought to be laws against those inbred racists selling foul tasting tea with union jack type marketing for 30 quid a fucking box!

Did someone itt just assign a ukness to cornwall

That's all it's ever meant.

(xp) The Cornish should be up in arms about that, what's this 'England' shite?

That's all it's ever meant.

Yes. But let me introduce you to thousands of cutesy products and services that apparently have a different idea. (I haven't seen GBBO so dunno if that should be included)

Oh, I know, "Putting the Great back in to Great Britain" etc, ugh, anyone saying that should be strung up.

the great in GBBO always referred to the bake-off IMO, tho now of course it refers to paul hollywood's treachery

any country with the prefix "Great" has major psychological problems imo, like when Eddie decided he was henceforth actually an Eagle.

I hear Great Missenden is pretty crazy tbf.

"doggie" as an insult

"Antifa" instead of "antifascist" seems like the same sort of inane infantilism of political language that gave us gems like "Brexit", etc

came here to post 'healing', but I can see it was posted a couple of months back. Lots of new-agey wellness and healing retreats and workshops being advertised round here, but the people going on them don't appear to be injured.

did you expect bloodied and bruised people to go to a healing retreat?
