I have never seen or heard someone say 'Git R Done' before. Regional thing perhaps, or maybe I need to get out more. ;)

yeah but most of the time you can't tell which they're saying.

Haha, indeed. I actually live in the most blue state there is. Massachusetts is the ONLY state in the country in which EVERY county voted blue.

That saying has become the #1 saying that makes me want to go on a killing spree.

Nik would be dead first.

Drew couldn't hurt a fly. Besides, I'm not the only one who's sporting it. Hell, I haven't said that in many months. :roll:

You said it a week ago.

pwned.

How about before that? When was the last time I said it before that?

I have a friend that has been ending or beginning all his sentences with "for real" but pronounces it more like "far reel". As in "For real, Im starving" or "For real, Im getting totally smashed off this wine cooler".

"to be honest with you"

"at the end of the day"

the soviet russia crap, the spider BS,

"it's always in the last place you look" ...as though you continue looking after you find something...

Any hip-hop/cliche black saying like the dawg, etc, above and "you got schooled"

any corporate jargon. There's this whiny pussy in HR who's notorious for that bullshit. I want to bludgeon him with a three-hole punch everytime I hear him call tasks "action-items", partnerships "synergies", or say "leverage" ANY time he could simply say "use".

That also pisses me off--corporate usage of nouns as verbs:

"Let's leverage this group"
"Let's solution the problem" <--- I almost vomited at a meeting after that one
"Let's transition the focus"

I'd like to leverage my foot in his ass. :|

pwned.


^^^^---- get a life internet geek. That would not be okay to say or even write to anyone in real life.

'whats your best pwned pic.'
'this guy got some pwned!'
'you got pwned'
'xxxxxxxx got pwned'
