    Re: Annoying phrases

    You made me think of this one, Cyn.

    "Free money" As in "you just won free money!" What other kind of money is one going to win? (I realize there are taxes AND WHATNOT, but still)

    Can't think of anything creative this time

      "irregardless..."

      "May I have a minute of your time?"

          i'm more likely to give such a person a migraine for want of a dictionary.

          this reminds me of the "ink and incapability" episode of blackadder featuring a fictional version of sam johnson, creator of the first dictionary. if you're unfamiliar, hugh laurie (now of house) plays a dunce of a prince and rowan atkinson (mr. bean) is the snarky butler, blackadder. johnson boasts that he has written every single word in the english language in his dictionary but blackadder frustrates the author by punctuating his comments with obscure words.

          ps. i was, by no means, trying to insult either lika or TG. sorry that it might have come off that way.
          superbia (pride), avaritia (greed), luxuria (lust), invidia (envy), gula (gluttony), ira (wrath) & acedia (sloth)--the seven deadly sins.

          nothing humiliates like the truth.--me, in conversation w/mixedplatebroker re 3rd party, 2009-11-11, 1213

              "This is very true". True is not subject to measures of degree; a condition or statement is either true or it is not.

                  Unfortunately, I absolutely hate "dakine" in any way, shape or form. If you can't articulate exactly what you want, you're not going to get it from me. I will substitute my "dakine" for whatever I feel it should be, and it won't be what you want.

                      I'm afraid this is a proper term. A legal attorney is not [necessarily] an attorney-at-law. A legal attorney is someone legally appointed to a position/purpose. For instance, an estate executor or someone with a power-of-attorney of any sort.
                      May I always be found beneath your contempt.

                          That one you had best get accustomed to in Hawaii Nei. It's the island equivalent of "you know...."

                            Whenever someone modifies the word 'unique.' As in:
                            'totally unique, so unique, unbelievably unique, more unique,' etc.

                            Something is either unique (unlike anything else) or it is not. It's an absolute.
                            There are no degrees to uniqueness.

                                Literally.
                                Used so often, and usually not in the proper/literal sense, but instead to emphisize something irrelevant.
                                Stop it.
