Gibberings CLXVII - Mountains of Shit Day in Day Out

[mydrugbuddy]

Continued from here:

Not even close. A decade or so back it was utterly ubiquitous and used to drive me nuts. It's dropped back in use so much I barely notice it in comparison. It is an overused word but we are nowhere close to insanity-inducing levels. Came around right at the time everyone suddenly started turning round and saying things. Basically. The combination was not a happy one. "So he basically turned round and said that basically she should turn around and...." FUCK OFF!!!

Just when you thought Jezza couldn't become any more unwatchable that lil linguistic double act swept the nation. We are getting off lightly so far.

Dunno exactly why i was watching some series about Manchester's Watermen (leaking mains water and sewerage pipe workers) and every single one of the 'senior foreman/customer liason managemet' type people used the word at least 3 times every sentence. Maybe there are regional variations. Or people that literally deal with mountains of shit day in day out are very concerned about the basic aspects of things.

Misuse of the word "Like", is like by far the most annoying word, like. Like there was this lad at work, like, who had to like say like, like 20 times every sentence like. Like, fucking annoying bastard, like. He had like severe verbal diarhheoa like, that probably explains it, like. Like Peaches Geldof like, god bless her like, was like, attrocious like, at using like, like, like all the time like, during her like late teens like.

EDIT: Yay first time ive noticed one of my phrases being used in a gibberings thread title. :D "Yay" is pretty annoying too. Sorry.8(

Ahhhhh there's a new Gibberings. hahaha...
Yea Dan I remember people saying "like" all the time too. I ended up doing it too.
aghhh Cringes lol

Evey xxxx

 

[ColtDan]

Haha yeah same here

Someone mentioned another recent abomination of the English language. Not seen it used much here but even people I usually like have fallen under its spell in mediaworld. Going forward, people need to stop using that stupid fukkin term constantly.

Nah, it's epically epic.

I say 'like' all the time in conversation and I hate myself for it, but then I'm all for the evolution of our language. As long as it doesn't sound well gash. It's just the same as 'ermmm' or 'uhh...' just somehow more annoying.

Was just tidying up the front room when girlfriend walked in. Got a kiss and £20 (I am not a prostitute these were two separate incidents) and then she buggered off back to work again. Sadly now I'm in charge of buying the fags (will get it wrong) and booze (might not). Genuinely nice surprise as didn't expect her here til gone 9

Anyway, as EADD will always ebb and flow, so will the English language. That said, I could probably think of a few words I genuinely hate

edit: Too hot out. I know that's moany as fuck but its just humid and ugh.

People With Higher IQ’s Are More Likely to Use Illegal Drugs… Why?

 

[mydrugbuddy]

Most of the cleverest males i have ever met use(d) drugs. The same doesnt seem to generally apply to females, i dont mean females that use drugs are thick, just that the cleverest ones i have met didnt. There may of course be a heavy 'sample bias' here as i have often naturally tended to gravitate towards people who look like they use drugs, or are in some way 'different' and they to me, to some extent, in the past.

Literally?

The oxford dictionary definition has actually been updated because it's misuse is so widespread.

So, I was walking up to a crossing when I was out in town a little earlier & saw there was a green man, yet there were 3 sets of people all standing at the crossing waiting for the beeping I suppose. I just walked straight past them over the road - numpties

I'm keeping quiet on that one cos suspect I use it a bit much and a bit wrongly myself. Am quite prone to getting into steroetypical cycles but do eventually snap out of it and move on to something else, going forward...

Cos they're cleverer than other people of course

You don't have ADD, schizophrenia, nor autistism.. you are simply color blind.

Missed Owen's quote about it being in the dictionary. Assuming it's true (no casting aspersions, just effort looking) that's kinda weird and also pretty cool. I suppose you can use it in a facetious way and I'm guilty of doing that. Like watching how words evolve although I have a creeping suspicion 'YOLO' is in there, which just makes me want to hurt people for some reason.

Lurching returns !! Your absence was causing some concern.

Thanks for the input.

I tend not to look at psychological DSM thingies anymore or w/e they are called these days, to determine psychological disorders. I would come out diagnosing myself with every label under the sun. I'm near or over 'border-line' on many different scales.

I wouldnt mind getting an ADD diagnosis though, free methylphenidate would come in quite handy for a few months. (I dont really need it, if im interested in something i can maintain concentration easily enough, is one hell of a struggle if given dull admin type tasks to do at work to keep my mind on the job in hand though.8() Perhaps a physical job might suit me better where you can do things on auto pilot and let your mind go where ever it wills.
