Words that need to be taken out behind teh woodshed and shot in the face
 

Three-peat.

"to effect change"

What's wrong with that one Clod?

'Going forward'.

What is wrong with 'in (the) future'?

Because 'in the future' sets the action at a future point in time, while 'going forward' takes you from this time into the future. It's more like 'moving on' than 'in future' - or a combination of the two.

"from now on" would be comparable with only 3 syllables.

Because "affect" already means "to cause change." Effect is the noun, affect is the verb. To "effect change" is a shortening of "to put a change into effect" and it's unnecessary and stupid. AND "change" can already be used as a verb, by itself.

That's fair. But, I think 'effect change' has a different emphasis. It's more dynamic and rooted in the person acting. 'Affect' - that can be something that is unintentional - 'effect change' is the intentional bringing about of change.

duress

the quarterback was under duress.

No... he wasn't forced to sign something... he was under pressure.

The verbs film and tape (<--referring to audio and/or video tape).

Hey, that stings.

"Yeah. No."

English, motherfucker, do you speak it?

Then, bam, right in the face.

Youze guys wanna take the fun out of English.

Yeah, no I'm gonna keep saying that.

multiple
literally

both should be shot literally multiple times

'Grow the business'.

I realise that any argument against this usage is unlikely to get very far on purely grammatical grounds so I'll have to try something else.
I find it extremely irritating.

You can grow old, you can grow spuds (preferably Jersey Royals), but you cannot grow a business.
I do not advocate the use of deadly force, but it should at least be summoned to the headmaster's study and given a stern talking to.

I have spoken.

But the Russians say this as well: “Da NIET!”. It’s a no. A splendidly idiomatic “no” which gets me brownie points every time I use it. [emoji4]

He's right you know. There's really no need for all these half-baked puns.

reach out

Like, totally posted in the wrong thread

'SHOULD'

think about that.

But we can still take them out and shoot them can't we?!!!

I think; though, we'll need a barn, a barn and a machine gun.

:rattat:

...and if the Russians jumped off a bridge or invaded Afghanistan are we supposed to do it too? ;)

SOP

ooh never mind on board ...onboarding... (orientation of new employees)

...please shoot this one twice

Da NIET!

:lol:

Which is exactly how this phrase should be used! :D

Leverage.

I had a miserable c-word of a boss years ago who used this word all the time:

"There's a shit pile of work on my desk that I'm just too important to do, so I'm going to leverage you to handle all of it for me. (And then I'll take the credit for it.)"

I had three months of that shit and then I literally walked out. :greenface

speaking of the 'c-word'....


The N Word is another one. Sorry, I've linked this 11teen times already, but suck it, its funny.


NSFW .. (N word and other blue language)

CK just blows me away sometimes.

2017 was outstanding.

The "Da" in Da nyet carries the sense of "even," comparable to Latin "et," as Et tu, Brute? "Da zdravstvyet ____" comes out to mean "Long live ___."

upcharge.

"the hill you want to die on"

stop, it's done already, you only get to use this once

But Toad, I hadn't even heard it yet and here you're killing it. :(

Sorry, too late Bruce, unless this is the...

Call it a pre-emptive strike, you'll see it soon enough. I think we're two weeks into this thing. It's making the rounds.

Some things are worth repeating at times. Reach out and touch someone is the snipers' credo.

I know how that works, a parallel is I drove from Boston to Ft Lauderdale with just an AM radio and just as I left Boston I hear Napolian XIV and They're Coming To Take Me Away. Hey that funny and catchy, so it goes into rapid rotation. It hit the Mid Atlantic the same time I did. It hit Florida the same time I did. And coming north two weeks later it was still in rapid rotation. I experienced a level of hate that scared me. :smack:

I used this just the other day.

for the last time

I just used 'highlight reels' in another thread.

There are no reels. Because there is no tape. There is no film.

Oh just shut up and roll up the window. :p:

Sometimes I think I must be getting old... I best get better at handling old-timers.

Ro--Wha? What's this roll up whutnow?

Um...It's the younger ones ya want to handle.

Those are the ones I wanna handle, anyway.:cool:

Handle, handle, not fondle.http://cellar.org/2012/nono.gif

Oh, my bad.

with respect to all the snipers out there... they <strike> stole </strike> heard it from AT&T first.

Their aim is to reach out and touch some wallets.

Frank Muldowney used this constantly. He was the NMAC FSM (dealer rep) for the first 7 or 8 years I worked here. I kind of like it. It sounds like something I would say.


I'm prepared to dig in and fight for this phrase.

On which hill?

"yeet"

(Just me or everybody?) In my universe this word is suddenly everywhere, and I'm not sure if it's just a recent thing or where it came from. Like the Philly word "jawn" it seems to mean anything you want it to mean, except that it is a verb.

Minifob says it constantly. I fucking hate it.

Urban Dictionary is not really any help. To many defs.

"yeet"
 

?

Can you use that in a sentence?

When my son quickly swipes something out of my daughter's hand, he says "yeet!"

When he throws something at her, he says, "yeet!"

When he enjoys a YouTube video, he says, "yeet!"

When he dislikes a YouTube video and wants to indicate that it should be removed from his purview, he says, "yeet!


Hope that clears things up.

OMG this is great and explains everything
