Shriek, pass the shotgun, boom, my will! Hehehe

I hate those too, and likewise I loathe "God's got it".

Never heard that one. I can see why you dislike it though.

that one's as old as the hills around here.

You must be from North Georgia. They all say that.

phrases/words from my childhood in church that stick with me:

at the and of a worship service they would always "extend the invitation"

we would always "partake" of the Lord's Supper.

they had these cards that they used to take attendance.
on them you were supposed to check a box indicating if you were a member a visitor or a "delinquent" I wondered what that was for a long time....... it was me!

When I want to make my kids scream I pronounce it as Crick instead of creek.

@Dstivers not too far off, southern Tennessee. feels like the Cinch of the Belt sometimes.

@HippieChick58 that's what I get in my neck from reading your responses!

@FrayedBear My mom would say crick for creek. It is a rural Nebraska thing.

@HippieChick58 I understood that m'dear, I've just checked and yes my usage is also in American usage. So yet again I've got to cuss and say "that "'$#@!% HippieChick58 is pulling my chain again and giving me a crick in my neck!"
LOL.

Not adding to the spirit of the conversation, but I've read it is actually " ... the Creek don't rise," referring to the Native American tribe formerly located in the south.

wow. @phil21 I've never heard anything like that but it's really interesting. that would indicate that it's a rather old phrase.

Till it isn't no more

@evestrat I've said it too and I'm not proud of myself about it, but it is what it is.

OMG ^ my MIL after her husband & son died. /DONE

@Qualia If she only said it once ok otherwise tell her she has got Alzheimer's.

@FrayedBear I can't even with her, it might disturb her tiara.

@Qualia Perhaps if you told where and when she was/ is wearing the tiara i will be able to decide to ROFL or commiserate. By tiara do you mean halo? If so i have an excellent joke about that.

@FrayedBear By all means share away. I'll keep it in mind should I ever speak to her again

@Qualia Done tagged you

Oh I HATE that one and it's almost always used with an attitude which is comical at best LOL

That one makes me insane. It's all I can do to keep from becoming violent.

To assume that I do not know English is to put an ass before U and me.

Nay lad nay!

Me too!

Also, supposeBLY. Do people NOT see that that is a D?!?!?

Real-a-tor -- In the 8,000 times you've seen that word written, have you EVER seen more than one A?!?!

You can't? hehe....yeah, you can't. Damn it.

oh, those are good ones...I don't ever hear those, so I forget they are used...though, we do use 'chicks' sardonically. "Duuuude, bro, I bet you just get all the chicks."

@JohnnyThorazine I hear them all, the baby bump thing is the silly morning news shows, some people say bling. The baby momma thing, the lower forms of life all say it. I want to puke.

Because it's lazy. I agree.

What does it mean?

@FrayedBear "Before Anyone Else"

@EricTrommater there I imagined "bloody awful explanation"! In other words s/he put on a pedestal of delusion?

@FrayedBear lol!

It's "fuck you" with 1/2 the calories ~8D

LMAO!!

My grandmother and mother say that....I never caught that particular verbal virus. And I think my Grandmother and mother have been west coast since the 50's, at least.

I almost had a stroke once when I heard an elementary school teacher use it, when we lived in Washington State. She was supposed to be an example for my children.

There is no y in potato or tomato. W in Arkansas.

@FrayedBear tomayto/tomahto

@witchymom Reminds me of my cousins. Raised with a word freak standard English and grammar mom. She moved to the south and within fives years or so, uses "Ain't" ALL the time. And, "She don't know where the store is." Makes me CRAZY.

Also if I was president, "ain't" would be removed from the dictionary.

Yes, I admit it -- total and complete word snob.

Nah, just that they are bookending really harsh phrasing.

Way back when I was in the Army I was in an NCO training program. We were learning to do training and give lectures. We had to give a training talk and everyone else would critique us I counted the "you knows" in one of my classmates talk. After I hit 50 I quit counting. Made me batty. I did mention that.

I had a broadcasting rule "never open your mouth without the correct first word on the tip of the tongue with the second and third queued up behind ready to go". Silence is preferable - another favourite was "better to be thought an idiot than open your mouth and prove it!"

@orange_girl Me too.

I say my bad a lot LOL. Picked it up about 10 years ago when my then boyfriend flipped his shit over his daughter using it. Now it's habit.

Lol. Believe me @Leira82 there are more important things to worry about!

@SACatWalker I recently suggested that the wall is to protect the Mexicans from Americans. Care to comment?

Snowflake I love - there are so many that the blizzard has not only caused road blocks to credible thought but even developed into avalanches sweeping all before the espoused absurdity.

No you're not, you green eyed grinning razorless man! I am that you prompted my response.

@witchymom I miss the phrase awful

@witchymom you must love that english comedy show
[comedy.co.uk]

Like "life-changing". Life-changing gets used for everything. Lady, it's just yogurt.

@Unfoldingchaos Nope, it’s life-changing yogurt! If you’ve never had it, it’ll jump your IQ up 50 points, clean your car, and give you colon of STEEL... jk

But it can help prevent the risk of colon cancer by fortifying the flora (which are lifeforms) and repopulating... so it’s a good pun at least.

I also use awesome a LOT. But, you won't catch me saying "Amazing" unless I'm standing at the edge admiring the Grand Canyon.

@BlueWave Or Hampton court

I AGREEEEEEEEEEE on the could ofs and would ofs. Ugh....

That was funny.

@BlueWave Thanking you! My plan works again! See you around or whate ... or something.
