We're agreeing on too much lately!

I'm adding -

CAPITAL, BOLD FONTS!

Most of us are perfectly capable of reading a message without the screaming.

And "disrespect".

[AlphaFrog]

I don't know HC...

As many times as people bold, italicized, underlined, caplitalized and huge font-ed the word NO in the joining an NPC and an NPHC sorority thread, we still got BUT, BUT, BUT....

In your dreams!

I dont do Grits do you?

I eat Chicken as after Dan Quayle screwed up Potato I have a hard time remmbering whith and E or without now.

Tramatized by a VEEP!


When it is damn hot, it is hot!

Looks another is added to the Maroon squad. But I am not from Texsass!

Just a homey from Kansas!

I quite dislike anything that is "I'm so ____"

Either you are or you are not...but you are not "SO".

I also hate the term "I'm done". It conjures up gross cannibalism images for me, a la "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Love".

[Emory Kappa]

Surreal.

So, as in "I SO agree that 'random' is used too often."

[honeychile]

"to die for __________"

I've yet to see a cake, sandwich or whatever that's worth dying for.

Also, Decadent (Chocolate Cake, etc)

[AlphaFrog]

"Retro", particularly when used in conjunction with "Rush".

[CutiePie2000]

"steal" or "borrow".
Such as when you are at work:
"Can I STEAL a piece of gum?" or "Can I BORROW a piece of gum?"

Um...you can have one and keep it outright, thanks. I don't need a used piece of gum back.

GROSS!

Actually, "what a maroon" is a Bugs Bunnyism.

For me: "amazing" and "unique."

I wouldn't mind "unique" as much if it was used correctly, but usually, it's not. And too often, it's given an inappropriate modifier, such as "really unique" or "somewhat unique." (I guess the latter is akin to "somewhat pregnant.")

Use the Search function.

That is a violation of copyright law.

(these are usually said by about the same, maybe, 3 or 4 people)...take a hint, just throwing it out there.

This is a real easy one to fix.

Stop violating the TOS, use search and obey the law.

This and "retarded" make me cringe. There are so many other words in the English language. If something is stupid, lame, boring, useless, waste of time, etc. then call it stupid, lame, boring, useless, waste of time, etc.

I know I overuse a lot of the words mentioned: "oh my god", "like", "so", "awesome", "freaking", and "whatever". I also overuse "cool", "ok", and "blah blah blah".

[bejazd]

Fugly.

I saw that on a billboard for a car near downtown the other day...somebody else must have thought it was tasteless...it was changed the next time I drove by.
