sayings that are retarded
I don't know if this thread will go anywhere, because although I have a saying I just noticed is really dumb, maybe it's not something people just have off the top of their head... thinking a particular saying is retarded...
Mine is when people say "and all you can say is sorry??"....
Here is my example...
Mandy : "John you are asshole! I just found out you kissed Sarah two years ago when we had that break... I'm so angry at you!"
John : "I'm realllly sorry"
Mandy : "Great.... Your sorry... We have a break for 1 week, and in that time you go and kiss my best friend, and your "sorry"??? Is that it???"
So why it's retarded?? Well what else are they supposed to say.. Sorry is really the only word we have in the English language that has that meaning.. It means sorry.. And also what else do they expect? Shinny jewels to come from the sky in apology? A balloon and flower man to appear on the spot with gifts?
I just saw this on tv by the way, in case anyone is wondering where it came from... I personally have nothing to be sorry for.. :cool:
Re: sayings that are retarded
I know a girl that says all the fucking time "you know what I mean?" Except she isn't explaining atom splitting or hadrons... something about feeling sad or going to the store.
She also says "It is what it is" all the time. Well what the fuck is it.

How about starting this thread? :o :rolleyes:
Re: sayings that are retarded
I don't think the first saying is retarded really. What the poor betrayed is trying to say is that 'is that all your offering empty words?'. There is no word that could be invented in any language that would make it ok to cheat on someone as it's actions that count not words.
So when the person says 'sorry' they are offering words which have been proven fake by their actions, thus the betrayed person is right to reject them.
On another note my favourite sayings of the moment all come from Charlie Sheen
'I'm not bi polar, I'm bi winning....'
I changed it, in my mind' ;D

That is a very good way of putting it and I agree with the part bolded above. Sometimes actions are far too significant for an apology to suffice. You can't really cheat and say "I'm really sorry", it just rings really hollow.
I just hate it when I hear the same recycled stereotypes here. For instance, you will respond to the question "Do you like Kimchi?" with a plain "No". The immediate response is typically "Ah, it is too spicy for foreign people!". Erm, no it just tastes like crap. I like spicy food as much as anyone, but fermented rotting cabbage doused in chilli powder and paste really doesn't do it for me. The damn public school teachers fill people with the most bizarre stereotypes.

Re: sayings that are retarded
"At the end of the day" and "It is what it is" are two of my least favorites, especially when used together.
And the word "veggies" absolutely grinds my gears. Grounds for a fist fight.
Re: sayings that are retarded
haha I agree with the comments about annoying sayings.
'At the end of the day, it is what it is, if it's part of God's plan you know what I mean?' would be the most annoying, meaningless statement that someone could utter.
Which I why I cringe every time Paul Williams gets interviewed on HBO.

Boxers are often awful when faced with a microphone, I guess that is why they punch people in the face for a living. They rarely knock you out with their words. At least 70% of all boxers go into the 'god speech' and it just makes me want to read some Richard Dawkins.

I don't really see the point of interviewing any sports stars. You can just do the interview in your head it's so fucking banal.
'Well Larry first of all I want to thank my lord and saviour Jesus Christ. You know Larry I just did what I had to do you, x is a hell of a fighter you know, and I knew that if I was going to win I would have to bring my A game and do what I do you know. And that's what I did, I really turned it on tonight you know, I brought my A game and when I do what I do I believe I can beat anybody. Yes I thought I was going to knock him out, but you know what he's a really tough fighter man and you know... but praise be to my lord and saviour Jesus Christ who gave me the power to bring this belt home you know.
Of course the losing speech is even more cut and paste, consisting of not being able to get punches off, headbutts, a drawing board and it all being part of God's plan.

True, you can look at the fighter and be 90% correct in predicting what they will say. It's all very cut and paste. Maybe a new fighter will take a couple of fights to work out, but once it's done you have a career mapped out. You just need to make exceptions between the wins and the losses.

To be fair only the most articulate and erudite of boxers use all five points. Most just use 3 and repeat them.
