As long as we're throwing out phrases to be banned...

"

ARE U SERIOUS!!!

Groundhog Day" - a B-rate movie? You my friend are "Clueless".

Now that's a B-rate movie!

 

Good point. It's a phrase people generally use to twist another's words out of context.

Also agree with those who call for an across-the-board ban on scandal stories getting the "gate" suffix.

Oh, and "halogen heat." I hate that one, too.

 

"sea of red (or any other school/team color)" We understand fans like to wear team colors. I think I first heard this when watching a Nebraska football game, but now every team with red uses it. STL Cardinals, KC Chiefs, Wisconsin http://www.dailycardinal.com/article/205 and more.

Also (color)- and (color) -clad fans. I'm guilty of using this, but it's cliche and dumb. Come up with better adjectives to describe fans, or say what makes what they are wearing unique.

 

"share a laugh" in a photo caption: "Jim Bob Asstickle and Betty Lou Hotpockets share a laugh Friday as they serve up grits in East Dogpatch."

* If they're both laughing, they're not sharing one laugh.

* How do you share a laugh anyway?

* Finally, it's bad writing. Pedestrian, in fact. There are better ways to write it, none of with involves saying "enjoy a moment" or anything like that.

 

Or one word. "Currently"

just kidding.

 

I just like the fact that both Dan and Jeremy posted on this thread. Is Isaac around?

No more "spoiling of homecoming," either. It's that time of year, stringers. Don't fucking do it.

 

Isaac: I won the Pulitzer Prize, Jeremy.

Jeremy: It's quite an honor, sir. I banged a porn star, sir.

 

To continue the threadjack...

Casey: ...fluent in four languages.
Dan: Spanish, French, German... that's three.
Casey: And I dabble in a little language called English.

 

Yeah, Goodwin, keep lording it over me.

 

Hey, it wasn't working out, just like with you and Rebecca Wells and she was one hot Focker.

 

God damnit, you don't need to say "on the clock!" I know the time is "on the clock!" Where the hell else will it be???
