Peeves and hang-ups

[jambau]

I'd like to start a movement calling for the correct use of the adverb "literally" which means that what was said actually happened. It bothers me that our society has literally become totally ignorant (not meaning rude) in so many ways that we literally don't know how to speak properly. Do we literally not teach English in schools anymore? The difference between literally and figuratively? And it's not just the younger generation. I literally hear it every where. It literally blows my mind. This forum is literally the closest thing to social media that I get so I'm putting it out there. I literally hear it misused like 10 million times a day. Maybe we should just literally ban the word.

What are your peeves?

 

[Maser]

What are your peeves?

People who try and tell others how they should and shouldn't speak.

 

[MtnCreek]

... It literally blows my mind. ...

LOL

 

[jcm331]

I dislike the word/use of the word "veggies"

 

[Inifinty]

LOL

 

[MarinePMI]

Literally?

Well, that was...insightful. I feel your pain (after reading that thread).

 

[Winningdog]

10 million times a day, that's a lot I'll bet. Literally a lot.

That sum bitch bit you. Look out things be gettin spicy.

LOL. I saw that thread this morning and it looked like someone with matches, pouring gas in a dumpster.

 

[HiDesertELR]

Yeah, it was fun. I like a little sparring, especially on a Monday

My pet peeves are gun control laws, and those that support them. And vegans.

"At this point in time, " what the fuck ever?" Shot at point blank range is the one that pisses me off the most. Like, on my like bicycle,like.like has a flat tire, like?
And the worst ever is using minutes and hours instead of miles or KM or blocks or number of major intersections you cross before turning right. for how to get somewhere. That is the definition of Retarded. yet so many people do it.
30 minutes in a traffic jam gets you nowhere.

 

[Thorny]

Not gonna lie, she was literally, liberally, moist.

 

[OldSalty]

Actually,....

[Sean the Nailer]

Umm,

Uhh,

Well,

uh,

um,

uh

Not sure what to say, but I'll just keep throwing 'sounds' out there, to continue to keep your attention, so that you are focused on what I'm not saying, but filling LOTS of time with absolutely nothing to say of any importance whatsoever.

eh?

 

[Winningdog]

Definitely!

 

[Fig]

Hi,

Literally???

Sincerely,
Theis

Well, literally in a very figurative sort of way...

 

[Fig]

@jambau how do you feel about confusing similes and metaphors?

Whenever I hear a leftists use the word "existential" I immediately assume they mean "conjectural", and I'm always right...

 

[pucker]

AmbidexTREEous.

Oh, and vocal fry.

Going to the range to meet the buds and having a shitty day of it

FUCKING PISSES ME OFF

 

[Diver160651]

Literally, if I do my part.

 

[Inifinty]

Forgive them for the missing letter "Y". ?

 

[johnnycat]

I hate it when people say "I could care less" when they really mean "I couldn't care less".

 

[fx77]

Like
Used instead of AS
Like when used for purposes of vocalization, and as every other word in a millennial's sentence,
Sentences wherein the subject and verb do not agree. Words: each, every, any, etc. are singular subjects, and the following verb must be singular.
Sorry, went to Jesuit school where I was taught by Grammar Nazis!

[John_in_WYO]

I defiantly definitely agree with you....

 

[jambau]

I hate it when people say "I could care less" when they really mean "I couldn't care less".

HOLY CRAP! That's another good one!

 

[Lesch]

Well as I like literally could care less..... I figuratively.....don't

 

[diggler1833]

1. Double negatives. Try explaining it to locals by relating it to multiplying negatives in math results in blank stares.

2. The local use of "Here is you a ____". My damn MIL got my four-year old saying that now and I'm not shy about correcting it in front of the family.

 

[MarinePMI]

But, at the end of the day.....

 

[Fig]

While making noises while eating is bad manners, using your teeth to remove food from a fork IS NOT. As long as you’re not making excessive noise teeth-on-metal this is perfectly polite. My wife just invented you cannot use your teeth, and is constant;y correcting our kids and it drives me fucking nuts, but I don’t say anything, because it’s a useless fight.

 

[Fig]

Fuck. Maybe I’m not as easygoing as I think I am...?

Like, um, listening to, um, Amy Klobuchar on, um, CSPAN last night - no joke, in one 60 second answer I counted 27.

My HS basketball coach made our team attend an etiquitte class before the royalty dance. Said we were not going to be a bunch of animals. The lady that instructed the course was pretty cool and made it somewhat fun. Learned about utensils, napkins...all the basics.

Coach was a real hardass but I do think he made a positive impact on most of us. Even made everyone wear a shirt and tie to school every gameday. If you were caught without you did not dress-out for the game.

Now...it is about not hurting feelings and appeasing players.

[Bigfatcock]

Women using those damn picture filters. I know the skanks I go after aren’t exactly 10’s, but they could at least let me see how busted they are. I’ll fuck an ugly woman, but I’d like to know the full extent of their ugliness before I decide to meet.

 

[Maser]

Good one ! LOL

Yeah well, the whole figuratively vs literally meme was just as annoying as the autistic #Adulting hashtag. I swear I hate being a millennial at times. Still better than being a boomer though!

Better, except for the being poor part?
