what about “[something] is just a glorified [something else]“…

“stylists are just glorified hairdressers”

“I could care less” posed as a question would be correct where “I could not care less” posed emphatically is correct. “I could care less?” and “I could not care less!”

You know, I never got the phrase, “I could care less.” With the way it is used, would it not make more sense to say, “I could NOT care less.”
>Blood is thicker than water
>Bent outta shape
suddenly my mind is blank, go figure. Anyways, if it is being used wrong or by someone trying to act superior, then it is annoying.

It’s sad; I have no trouble at all reading leet.

Heather, just for your information, “leet” is an abbreviation of sorts of “elite.”

You guys never fail. Maybe we should collect all these and publish them in a book? I’d buy it!

My husband pointed out the moronic use of “literally” and now it drives me crazy. “I literally jumped out of my skin!” Yeah, right, and how did you get back in?!

Oh, and “my bad” was actually perpetuated in my high school by our English teacher. There is so much wrong with that.

How about “I could care less”??? Perhaps he or she could care more, too.

LOL – you’re not laughing out loudly. I hate you.

Emoticons – if Hugo, Hemingway, and Frost didn’t need them, you don’t either. I hate you.

Good Times – was a great show in the 70s. If you follow any sentence with “good times” because you cannot conjure up a less vapid response, I will kill you. Kill You! Good times!!

My Bad – regrettably took the place of an apology in the 90s. After I severely wound or dismember someone, I say “I’m sorry” NOT “my bad” because that’s just plain rude!

Or…
Are you going to the party or….?
Was he convicted or…?
Do I put it in this hole or…?

Figure out the second part of your sentence or……make it shorter!

The point of life is to appear LESS ignorant than what we truly are.

I’m tired of hearing the word “hate” used for such trivial matters.

The pot calling the kettle black refers to both having been used over an open fire – in which case both become blackened – the point is then that it’s pretty stupid for one of them to point out the smoky mess on the outside of the other one. Anyone who can find a way to make that old blurb reflect racism has a serious problem of his own.

And Stephanie, someone loves you and cares about you enough to want you to be careful and take good care of yourself; that’s a kind wish, and it’s extremely shortsighted and immature to resent it.
