"Into people's arms..."

I mean, I know that's where vaccines go, but I've heard it like 15X today

Andy the Grasshopper, Wednesday, 6 January 2021 00:39 (five years ago)

"Political donors"

These are not fucking donations! They're loans, and expected to be paid back with excess interest in one way or another. Talking about big-money shit here, not someone bunging a tenner over to Sir Keeth. Better to call them "political investors" imo.

i'm really tired of the "shot in the arm" language too. i was thinking it must be really triggering for people in recovery from iv drug use and that is not cool

Vaccinate your arms, everyone.

the cockroach-like persistence of "alternative" as a music genre, already meaningless in its conception as an overreaction to hair metal

that this still shows up in mp3 metadata 30+ years after the fact is so, so dumb

“across the piece” very common where i work, meaning “affecting many parts of the business”

I have heard this morphed into 'across the piste'...

On this board specifically, the use of "shockah!" and "evah!"
Glad it's gone out of favor. I hate it.

there's this commercial that mentions "secret stinks" and every time that phrase is uttered I recoil

conjures images of the existence of an Olfactory Freemasonry that has unlocked the hidden truth about malodorous areas of clothing

Wrong Screamed Barney (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 2 February 2021 15:00 (five years ago)

Very apt for 2021.

Waterloo Subset (Tom D.), Tuesday, 2 February 2021 15:03 (five years ago)

you're right about that!

Wrong Screamed Barney (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 2 February 2021 15:05 (five years ago)

similar to that, the youtube speak

"Hey viewers, it's ya boy/ya girl, <name>"

Wrong Screamed Barney (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 2 February 2021 23:14 (five years ago)

I heard 'smash that like button' for the first time on a Youtube video the other day and I don't think any other word/usage/phrase has pissed me off like that for quite some time.

kinder, Tuesday, 2 February 2021 23:56 (five years ago)

Y u all h8 twinsthenewtrend

Qanondorf (darraghmac), Wednesday, 3 February 2021 02:44 (five years ago)

if u smash the button on your keyboard, u won't be able to like more of their videos

Wrong Screamed Barney (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 3 February 2021 02:45 (five years ago)

"Step down". It's somehow so obsequious a phrase. Just say 'resign' or 'quit' – especially when someone like Bezos is hardly moving down in becoming executive chairman.

I’ve only heard that phrase used to parody that type of Youtuber.

Mosholu Porkway (Boring, Maryland), Wednesday, 3 February 2021 03:40 (five years ago)

It was for real!
that reminds me though, there is a new series of Pls Like on iplayer or somewhere

kinder, Wednesday, 3 February 2021 08:20 (five years ago)

iPlayer yes :)

ooh, would you like to buy this wonderful giclée print?
what’s that? you’re not familiar with giclée?

Derived from the French term gicler – meaning ‘to squirt or spray’, the term describes a printing process whereby microscopic dots of pigment-based ink are sprayed onto archival-quality paper to ensure the fidelity of a limited edition print to an original artwork.

IT’S A FUCKING INKJET PRINT. YOU’RE SELLING AN INKJET PRINT, THE WORD IS NOT GICLÉE IT’S INKJET.

assert (MatthewK), Thursday, 4 February 2021 17:54 (five years ago)

if I were to order a giclee print i would hope it wasn't printed on someone's desktop canon.

ledge, Thursday, 4 February 2021 18:07 (five years ago)

'pigment-based ink'
