we'll stop saying 'eyedear' when you stop saying 'mo-bull'

Or "miss-ull". Or "host-ull".
(For missile and hostile, obv.)

(And, I'm not really on anyone's "side", here.)

Or... they're both wrong.

― David A. (Davant), Thursday, 29 July 2004 08:30 (nineteen years ago) link

But I don't hate either one of them (to bring the thread back on track).

― David A. (Davant), Thursday, 29 July 2004 08:31 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't understand this eye dear thing - UK English doesn't pronounce rs on the ends of words, any words, so why would we pronounce one that wasn't there? If anything, I think N. Americans are more likely to pronounce the r on the end of the word (when it is there) because of the tongue-curling nature of r pronunciation in those parts (UK r, with the odd south-west/scot exception) is a flat tongue, back of mouth r.

My parentheses are all over the place there, sorry.

i pity ppl that get worked up over spelling mistakes. remark upon it fo sure if you must, but what's with the hate?

This is probably going to hit too close to home for most of you, but I'll risk alienating myself anyway:

-Riding with someone who's insane about listening to music in the car. This entails the following:

* Spending more than five minutes going through a CD billfold, looking for the "right" CD to listen to for our twenty-minute journey.
* Skipping through tracks, going back and forth, sometimes changing the entire album if using a multiple CD changer.
* If no CD is used, than the fast-forwarding and rewinding of songs on a tape can be substituted for all of this, or
* Spending a maximum of three seconds on every radio station, concentrating on looking for the off-chance that someone out there is broadcasting that lost Beefheart classic or something.

Really, I just hate sitting there in the parking space as a passenger as the driver does everything inside the car except DRIVING IT. It's not an airplane, dude.

Madchen, we do it... we just don't realise we do it. ;)

Seriously, I didn't believe it either, until I heard myself say "Canada" one day. Sounded more like "Can-a-der". And now I notice pretty much every visitor from the UK doing the same thing. (It's only those words ending in "a", btw.)

Fake rastas saying 'I and I' for 'we'

"Diva". The word. The concept. Everything about it.

I hate people talking about phonetics without using the IPA. It angers me.

― alix (alix), Friday, 30 July 2004 07:44 (nineteen years ago) link

5 different ppl on a thread saying 'we've already done this'.

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Friday, 30 July 2004 07:45 (nineteen years ago) link

Lixi, if you can find a way of getting ILX to accept IPA symbols, go for it :)

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 30 July 2004 09:49 (nineteen years ago) link

We've done that already, Madchen! :)

PMS. I *really* hate PMS. I hate the way it makes me feel so hopeless and cranky and I just want to cry or shout all the time for no good reason.

― Super-Masonic Black Hole (kate), Friday, 30 July 2004 10:01 (nineteen years ago) link

Erm, I wasn't saying you were! My post was in response to Sarah's post & 'i was only joking'! ;-)

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Friday, 30 July 2004 10:11 (nineteen years ago) link

I am a bit touchy today, sorry.

― alix (alix), Friday, 30 July 2004 10:19 (nineteen years ago) link

Donna found us in her slow and dreamy way
I can't hear a word the waiter says
She's looking older than the colour of her hair
She walks into the room too pleased to find me there
Me I'm touchy
Touchy you
Me I'm touchy
And you know what to do
Me I'm touchy
Touchy, touchy you
Me I'm touchy and you know what to do
Both of us together in a room by ourselves
I sneeze to look around, byt there's no escape
What can I do, what can I say
She's waiting for this moment to explain itself.
Me I'm touchy
Touchy you
Me I'm touchy
And you know what to do
Me I'm touchy
Touchy, touchy you
Touching love is the best I can do
Hey, this time you've gone too far
You know how touchy we are
Donna found me in her slow and dreamy way
Now she reads me what the paper say
The way she laughs and what I do
I'm waiting for this moment to explain itself through
Me I'm touchy...etc.

Is there a male equivalent of PMS? Because I feel like that periodically, like it's a cycle or something.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Friday, 30 July 2004 10:34 (nineteen years ago) link

boys suffer cycles the same as women definitely.

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Friday, 30 July 2004 10:35 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't know. I suspect so, cause after all, PMS is caused by the presence of *male* hormones in the female body or something... Sigh.

Almanac's list was truly vivid, funny and even touching, until I came to:

when two people i like can't get along

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Friday, 30 July 2004 16:31 (nineteen years ago) link

1) Chewing gum all over the pavement
2) Spitting
3) Littering
4) Ill-executed tree management (ie just leaving a tree with ten leaves, so depressing)
5) People movers
6) When the grass turns to dust

That's all I can think of right now.

No-life music obssessed internet geeks.

Shit.

Anonymous people starting threads impersonating me. Okay, not really hate so much as freak out and get all obsessive over.

custard

alarm clocks

sunburn

the feeling of cotton on my teeth

people who dig in their noses in their cars and then look at you like you're the asshole for making a disgusted face

seaweed

anything that smells like cucumber-melon

when birds crap on my freshly washed car

current gas prices

twix candy bars

When an ad break comes on and the sound during the ads is significantly louder than on the programme I was just watching. I despise this with a passion and resent TV controllers for allowing this to happen (assuming it is a marketing ploy so that people pay more attention to the ads? what other logic?) - for fucks sake fuck off you morons

I HATE ARRAYED_LISTS. I HATE PRECONDITIONS AND POSTCONDITIONS. THEY ARE STUPID. I HATE INADEQUATE APIS. I HATE THERE BEING NO APPROPRIATE REFERENCE MATERIAL ANYWHERE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. I HATE THE DERISION AND SCORN POURED UPON US BY THE CURMUDGEONLY LECTURER EVERY TIME SOMEONE ASKS A QUESTION AND I HATE EIFFEL.

athletics.

adverts in general are annoying, not just the ones on tv, the way that there doesn't seem to be a square foot of space in the whole of london that people aren't either trying to stick bill posters on or cover with their idiotic tags. (although during the recent Tetris documentary one bloke did point out that Russia was very grey the first time he visited but was a lot more colourful now because of all the adverts (mainly for american products)).

but mostly athletics.

People who shag in public parks, in exactly the nice, shady romantic bit where you want to have the final coversation with your ex boyfriend.

I swear to god, I'm not making this up. That's just disgusting.

― Super-Masonic Black Hole (kate), Friday, 6 August 2004 07:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Oops sorry! ;-)

that Tetris documentary was great wasn't it Andy?

Stupid suit-wearing people who are heading onto the tube platform on the wrong side of the corridor, barge into you, and then shout, "Don't tut at ME" as you have to step out of their way. Cockfarmer.

also people who nearly run you over with their goddamn bicycles and then say "sorrrrrrrrrrrrrry" (no you're not; go fuck yourself and learn how to ride a bike while you're at it)

Liz - did you say 'what's your f@#king problem?'

― PinXor (Pinkpanther), Friday, 6 August 2004 12:21 (nineteen years ago) link

also people at shows who cut in front of the good spot YOU'VE spent time and manpower hunting out and then say "sorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry" (no you're not; go fuck yourself and learn some manners while you're at it)
