What's your pet peeve?
The English language has taken an incredible beating the last few years with the advent of "liketalk"... I don't know what else to call it but it's definately my pet-peeve. What I thought was a passing fad - the typical American teenager's faddish interjection of the
word "like" into every single sentence -- has become so rampant it is a disease. Even thirty year olds and business executives talk this way!
"Like" is used not only as "um" is used, a chronic and useless interrupter - it actually takes the place of adjectives, nouns, imagination, intelligence, etc. etc. etc.
For instance, you no longer have to say, "She was furious at me.." You just say, "She was like "aaaaaghh!" No need for such tedious sentences as "He said, I'll take care of it." Now it's "He was LIKE I'll take care of it" So you see there's no past tense any more, there's just the pea-brained
characterization of any event, any shade of meaning, past, present or future, relevant or irrelevant, as "LIKE"
Now when you combine that with the word "ALL" and the incomprehensibly ever-rising popularity of the word "$hit", you have something approaching the deterioration of our daily discourse to the most atrocious and stupid sounding toilet talk: here goes!:
Instead of: "Dan told me last week how much he enjoyed the cosmic jazz in Coltrane's "Love Supreme" He said he could listen to it all day and not get tired of it..." We now can say, "Coltrane?" "Dan was all like, 'he's the $hit!"
Now tell me, how am I supposed to learn proper english. |

When people hang the toilet paper so the end of it hangs down behind the back instead of over the front. That pisses me off, and then they get pissed off that I corrected their evil ways, and I hate that even more!
I hate it when people take a food that's commonly known as "healthful" and fry it up in butter and eat it because it's good for them.
I hate plotless natural disaster films. I also hate plotless killer-animal films.
I hate people that order huge meals from McDonalds and Burger King and then order a diet pop to wash it down.
I hate everyone and everything. Including whoever is reading this now.
I hate it when I make stupid mistakes. |

2. When people start driving 5 miles an hour cause they see a cop writing SOMEONE ELSE a ticket...what is he gonna do stop the process to chase your speeding azz down???
3. When you driving and you see an AKA or Delta license plate and you trying your hardest to see the honey and when you finally catch a glimpse it turns out to be Frederick Douglas`s great aunt!!!
4. Female drivers: A good majority of you need your licenses revoked. Who taught y`all to drive?
5. Somali folks who cut down on each other cause of skin color...it`s gotta stop. No wonder we can`t come together as a people.
6.this is a college thing)I am doing my laundry and I come back to get my clothes out the dryer to find that some stupid chick took my clean stuff out and placed them on top of the dusty a s s dryer. That almost got this chick beat up yesterday.
7.Women who misuse the word thick and assume b/c they`re under the 200+ mark they are not fat...If it jiggles and waddles in ALL places it`s time for a reality check. You are BIG not thick. You passed thick six cheeseburgers ago. |
