Pet peeves

Let's get something straight: it isn't a snowpocalypse, and it's not a snownado. It's not a snowsaster, a snood (snow flood), or a snowphoon (snow typhoon). It's not even a blizzacane, snowtastrophe, or snowruption! It's just a lot of snow. There's really no need to make up cute, new words.

That sounds swelltastic, even greatastic!

Nor is it snowtiful, snowriffic, snowcredible, or snowmazing! Now, stop with the mutant words already; English is confusing enough already.

Nice one about ya'r neighbors History Buff.

I know someone who is on the phone more than our phone rings at work, & they have no job or life....

Gas pumps that slow down with $2.00 left to go.

Agreed about the gas pumps.

I long for the days in the late 1980's when gas was around .99 cents a gallon. I don't even want to confess here what it cost to fill my pick up truck earlier this week!

aint it the truth! diesel here just went up to 3.45! thats nuts! As far as filling up the suburban... 100.00 last week!!!

pet peeve: we have plenty of oil available to us, and fuel should be a lot less!

Stupidity! Ignorance, I can handle but stupidity really annoys me.

I guess you wouldn't like the word "teacheriffic." We used that one to describe outfits or office supplies that would work at school. Don't worry; we didn't use it in front of the students.

"What a teacheriffic outfit you have on today."

I don't usually watch Letterman, but after I posted that, Letterman used many of them in a bit on his show. He must monitor SDCFans. Hey, Dave!

He also mentions that this spring we are forecasted to have something like a "Mild-and-Slightly-Cloudy-pocolypse".

sanddunerider · February 04, 2011, 12:54:12 PM

yes please dont confuse the students....

All right! Are you really laughing out loud when you type, "LOL"?
Are you really rolling on the floor laughing when you type "ROFL"?

Teenage boys who think that talking REALLY LOUD is cool.
