Lobbed one of these at a guy who wouldn't let me merge in traffic the other day. Guess I had misperceived some sort of cultural moment where we had brought this into a less fraught usage. My passenger and life partner offered a terse and uncompromising correction. May still be some time yet, lads.

The wrong amount of tax being deducted from your pay check throughout the year, then getting some back or being asked for more at the end of the year.

Saying 'how funny' with dead eyes

81. S'mores

81.5. “sock” as a verb

d'oh, buried in the fold on zing

81. just pouring any old fuckin' amount of booze into a drink at a bar

83. “thank you for your service”

Jesus yeah

And making service staff grovelsmile

85. pretty darn good craft beer!
86. pretty darn good cheeseburgers!

83.5 the fucking loop of audio running all night and day at LAX announcing that they appreciate your service so you can get a free shower and nap if you're a returned serviceperson is absolutely my worst American experience (while waiting from 1am to 8am to be able to leave or shower or nap myself)
