The Thread For Words and Phrases That Need To Die

[12ozLongneck]

I'm seeing the phrase "back channel communications" being used quite a bit in coaching rumor discussions by people who want to seem like they are connected and in the know. Pretty tired of that one.

2012 survey on most annoying words

[12ozLongneck]

Using the "Fighting __________" to refer to a team. I've had Baseball Tonight/Rangers game on in the background for the last couple hours and I think they've referred to Cleveland as the "Fighting Franconas" at least 3 times. It's not funny.

"organically grown."

Anything said in hashtag form that isn't on Twitter.

[txlonghorn47]

I've been doing it as a bit because of the overuse of hash tags. My group of friends has even taken it to the level of talking in hash tags.

[Silverado]

Let me be clear...

[12ozLongneck]

"Basic bitch."

[txlonghorn47]

"Basic bitch."

Yes! So much yes!

[Drew Corleone]

What is that from?

[12ozLongneck]

Not sure where it came from. I just know that it's popping up in my news feed too much.

[Drew Corleone]

I think I have hidden so many people on FB that I basically see:

Jackson pics
Tim and Shelley's daily booze & restaurant updates
Temple Wildcat athletics
Wrestling Old School
This girl from high school's constant posts about her rabbit shows

"Gut" when it comes to digestive health. It is so annoying.

[Makaveli]

It's so funny you say that.

I recently Googled the term trying to prove improper usage because so many are using it broadly now. But no, apparently it's a term for the entire digestive system. Mouth to Anus.

AND a staggering fact about "Gut Flora"...

The human body carries about 100 trillion microorganisms in its intestines, a number ten times greater than the total number of human cells in the body.[2][3][4][5][6] The metabolic activities performed by these bacteria resemble those of an organ, leading some to liken gut bacteria to a "forgotten" organ.[7] It is estimated that these gut flora have around a hundred times as many genes in aggregate as there are in the human genome.[8]

"sweet tea"

[Makaveli]

If you wanna pollute your tea with sugar, that's your business. I don't give a flip.

But why am I the one that has to qualify when ordering ? "Un", "Un", I said "UN-sweetened", you bitch.

When did sugar become something you take away, not add ? Am I going to have to ask for "unsweet coffee" in my future ? uncheesed hamburger ? (Would not eat that). What about a non-black-peppered salad ?

It's a damn condiment.

"Dad bod." I had never seen this until a week ago and now it is EVERYWHERE. Get the fuck out of here with that shit.

[U2-Horn]

[txlonghorn47]

I've actually used and heard the term Dad Bod for quite sometime. It just blew up this week because of that article that chick from Clemson wrote.

[12ozLongneck]

"At least the lakes are full"

[12ozLongneck]

"'murca" or "'merica" or any of that bullshit. Played out as fuck.

[Music City Mafia]

"[fill in blank] for a minute."

[U2-Horn]

at the end of the day
