Time once again for... Words and phrases you HATE!!!!

[UrbScotty]

Besides "George W. Bush" and "President Bush."

For one: 'REAL WORLD.' I know it's just an expression, but I feel compelled to say this. You probably heard that around the time of your high school graduation. "You're now entering the real world, etc., etc." Oh... So for the first couple decades of our lives, we've been in some sort of 'fake world,' or something? What's not real about the world into which we were born? Sigh. Again, it's just an expression, but...

Surreal: over used
A lot: two separate words
Evil Doers: there's no such thing
Axis of Evil: is just plain stupid, like the trinity of evil.
Bush is Toast: I just don't like it, it sounds like a twelve year old.

And although it's not a word or phrase... I aBs0|ut3ly h4t3 p30ple Wh0 Thi|\|k thAt TyP|nG Li|<e thIs |s CleVer.

It's not clever... it's idiotic. And you just better not let me catch you doing it... or ELSE! And I mean it! So there!

[Richardo]

35. I'm with you, brother. On a side note, how long did it take you to type:

"I aBs0|ut3ly h4t3 p30ple Wh0 Thi|\|k thAt TyP|nG Li|<e thIs |s CleVer." :D

[arwalden]

36. The extra time it takes to create such monstrosities..

... is barely worth the effect. Unless of course the desired effect is to annoy the hell out of someone like me... or unless the desired effect is to go DIRECTLY to my ignore list.

For the most part I come here to interact, discuss, debate, commiserate, and yuk-it-up with other adults. Nonsense like that is generally an indicator of a "Net Rat" or a "L'Enfant Provocateur" and I haven't the inclination nor the patience to weed through posts like that.

Wif instead of with. Or anytime f is used instead of th.
