stuckincincy Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Actually, the word bad can be used for fault, just like the word Mistake. From Merrian-Webster: Main Entry: bad Function: noun Date: 15th century 1 : something that is bad 2 : an evil or unhappy state 3 : fault 4<the mistake was my bad> Its essentially the same as saying "My Fault" I doubt that a generation that brought us "As IF!" , That's SO last week" etc., turned to their entyomology skills to come up with "My Bad". It is what it is ( ), a pop culture phrase. 23 Skidoo...Oh you Kid!...Kilroy Was Here...Gear!...Solid, Man!...it's gone on for centuries and will never end

HereComesTheReignAgain Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 "First time caller, long time listener" Who cares! "I'll hang up and listen" I'm always tempted to call WGR and say "first time caller, long time listener, I'll hang up and listen" then hang up. Oh, and "I could care less" annoys me. If you could care less, it implies you care about something. The phrase is "I couldn't care less".
Chef Jim Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 To steal a joke from Seinfeld: "Whose Bra Is This?" Or Moe from the Three Stooges: "Spread out and come here!"
The Tomcat Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Ex NFL kicker Tony Zendejas was charged in LA with drugging and raping a women. One of thefour charge's he's accused of is "sodomy of an unconscious victim" WTF! Date rape drug anyone?
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Date rape drug anyone? I'll pass thanks.
Webster Guy Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 My 2 pet peeve sayings: 1) "There you go." Anytime anyone says this to you, they are really saying stop talking you idiot. 2) "....and let me tell you why". I think the Bills are going to the playoffs this year and let me tell you why.... just say "because..."

ofiba Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I can't stand it when people say "Good times." They don't say, "those were some good times". They just randomly throw it into a conversation.
BLZFAN4LIFE Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 I was reminded of one yesterday when I heard it being used .... Guesstimate. WT ?! It's guess or estimate. Combining the two only causes someone to "guesstimate" your IQ to be 40.
WellDressed Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 When I have to read this in a sentence on the internet: - This is the sickest.....
Whites Bay Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 "Untracked". As in...."Team X really has to get untracked or they're going to be finished by the third quarter". The expression is "On Track". Like....when a train derails, it can't move very far, or very fast. When the train gets back "on track", the flange on the inner wall of the wheels lines up with the rails, and the train can go forward and backward. To be "untracked" is a bastardization of the expression "derailed". I can't, for the life of me, understand why television sports announcers can't fuggin' figure this out. Dick Enberg used to be the worst offender, and might still be. I don't know, because I usually have to hit the mute when I see him, or else I'll end up throwing it at the TV (again). Jesus, what a goddamn idiot.
