CosmicBills Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Here's another one. "Not for nothin" That drives me nuts. Why would you preface a statement with "not for nothin"?If you are speaking, you're obviously speaking for a reason. "Not for nothin" is a given. Drop it and just say what you have to say. And remember: A wise man speaks because he has something to say. A fool speaks because he has to say something. You obviously haven't read enough of LSI's posts ...

BLZFAN4LIFE Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 "Have a good one" or "It must be a Monday" Not for nothin, but you got a point there. Exactly what does the "one" mean in "have a good one"? A good day? A good time? A good BM? Irregardless, have a good one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acantha Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 That goes right along with "What hapened was. . ." Just say what happened! I'm in this class right now for work...there's this guy behind me that keeps raising his hand, and when the instructor says what, he says "I got a question...." NO sh-- SHERLOCK....GET ON WITH IT! Back off topic: Drives me insane when people say they give/gave/should give/etc... anything over 100% Back on topic: That's some fugged up sh--.

/dev/null Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Back off topic: Drives me insane when people say they give/gave/should give/etc... anything over 100% Reminds me of one of those emails people send around the office that goes something like: Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants over 100%. How about achieving 103%? Here’s a little math that might prove helpful. What makes life 100%? If A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as: 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 Then, H A R D W O R K 08 01 18 04 23 15 18 11 = 98% K N O W L E D G E 11 14 15 23 12 05 04 07 05 = 96% But, A T T I T U D E 01 20 20 09 20 21 04 05 = 100% And, B U L L S H I T 02 21 12 12 19 08 09 20 = 103% So, it stands to reason that hard work and knowledge will get you close, attitude will get you there, but bull sh-- will put you over the top.
