Lame Expressions - The Drunken stepFORUM - A place to discuss your worthless opinions

Fever · #1 07-01-2009, 03:02 PM

I just got off a call with a guy that throws the whole goomba/guido vibe, and I realized how much I hate alot of those effed out expressions/statements/rhetorical questions.
His favorites:

"you know what I'm sayin'?" - tacked on to the end of every bullshit statement that he really just wants me to grunt in reply to for his personal affirmation.

"that's what I'm talkin' about!" - dude-speak for either 'I want that chick with the big tits, but all I'm gonna do is talk about it', or otherwise confirming the obvious.

"you can say that again" - basically 'I agree' but always seems to bring an awkward pause.

Anyone feel the same or have their own?

Personally I've always found it annoying how people say "that's funny" after laughing as if their laughter wasn't indication enough.

haha...I know....but I was semi-arguing within the context of the thread subject. kinda sorta maybe?

It took me like 10 searches to find that thread....I wasn't expecting you or anybody to find it, I just thought it would serve as a nice addition to yours.

my boss has constantly been saying "I'm not trying to step on your toes or anything" of late and seriously, if he says it 3 or 4 more times in a conversation, I'm going to stamp on his fucking piggies for real.

- "i know, right?"
- people who say "do what" instead of "what" when the want me to repeat something. 9 times out of 10, i didn't ask you to do anything.

if i started a list of corporate speak, i'd be here all day, so i'll refrain.

"thermos, you need to write a cost proposal with some teeth in it"

WTF? teeth? really? how about you suck my dick and leave your teeth out of it.

"It is what it is"
As far as I can tell, this is a way of attracting attention to the fact that one has nothing interesting or intelligent to say.

I get mad a ppl that just don't listen. We recently acquired a new laborer. He's just a kid, but when you tell him to do something, the answer invariably is "What?". Seriously. Fucking listen! I'm fixing to beat his brains in.

Sorta off-topic, but I had to let it out. Sorry.
