Sayings that need to die

Yeet,

First Responders...no offense...too much word salad, just be specific...cop, emt, firefighter....

First responders is a buzzword created during 9/11.

Bingo! Soon after everyone was a first responder. Some cops on 9/11 weren’t first responders. Or second. Or ever.

If we are going regional these people up north need to stop with the "you betcha". 

I don't hear too many people say that unless they are trying to say it mockingly.  Almost everyone says "you bet" though.  I catch myself saying it all the time.  Gets used instead of saying OK, alright, you're welcome, thank you...

If one more person tells me it's a mute point? I'm going to rip their throat out. 😡

 

 

 

I feel the same way about people who could care less.

Asked my 11 y.o. daughter if she wanted water or whatever and she responded "I'm good."

:mad:

Oh hell no, not in my house. Your options are "no thank you" and that's all.  I think she learned "I'm good" from her mother who I also straightened out.

Instead of politely saying to the waiter/ waitress “may I please have…” The millennial/ gen z crew says “I’ll do..”.

Ever come across a red-yellow-black snake and try to remember the rhyme...

"Red on black, good for jack. Red on yellow, hurts the fellow."

Then ya start second guessing...  or is it "bad for jack" and "friendly fellow".?.  Ah crap I'm dead.

They say "ya" and "you betcha" a lot in Fargo.

First time I went to Minnesota I was surprised to hear people actually talking like this.

 Fawked a bartender at the Holiday Inn bar in Austin,MN. All she screamed was “Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap!!!” Fun, butt needed check Charlie for stains afterwards.

Perception is reality.   

I remember when Blondie tried to tell me that with an air of confidence. Looked at her and said "you know it's not. That effing ignorant. There's a reason why there's two different f****** words. It's like saying "dog is cat".

 

 

She looked like she just confused her vibrator with her curling iron.

“A high tide raises all ships”.  Sure. If you have a ship. If you have a raft that high tide might capsize it.
