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.

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.

I did miles .... I feel better now :)

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.

Re: sayings that are retarded
Have many and no doubt have some that drive nerves of others..
'No doubt' could be one. Not sure where came from but say it all the time! One that gets me is when you have those people who constantly say 'thank you'. Not just for pleasantry and respect but numerous times during a conversation. Its just feeble. I had a client yesterday and during a simple transaction and small talk about heart medication for pet she said thank you at the end of EVERY sentence :p It drove me fooking nuts....eventually I just stopped talking and went with 'mmm hmm' and nodding the head. Sure as shit at the end she started apologizing for taking up so much of our time...as she's walking out the door. Not in a smart ass way but again is some over compensation or self doubting (?) way. At least 11 Thank yous and 4 I'm sorrys within 7,8 minutes. What is that ?

haha I am guilty of the apologising sometimes myself!
The other day I was walking to my car and this lad was walking down the road with this huge camping rucksack, like he had the whole 02 arena folded up in there or something.
As he walked past it predictably smacked me in the face and I instinctively said 'Oh sorry mate'. The cunt just ignored me and walked on. Part of me wanted to get in my car and mow him down but instead I just quietly seethed at my own reactive pathetic behaviour. :(

Re: sayings that are retarded
I think most of these are brain tics and habits formed by a lack of short term memory to buy them time to say something else. Like people that say "ummm" alot.

Re: sayings that are retarded
Wanna piece of candy lil girl ;D
I have one on here, always gets me. "IMO" aka In my opinion. Is it similiar to 'Just saying' ? Almost seems a fail safe device set up in the case another asks "What are you nuts" for stating a maybe unpopular (?) opinion. Then again I've used "I believe" in some cases ;D Has always struck me odd.
Also "Take care". George carlin had a great bit on this one.

Forum specific this one.
'If I remember rightly'
Your not recalling it from memory, you watched it like five minutes ago, you just want people to think you remember every detail.

That annoys me too. I thought the whole point of saying "lol" was because you were texting someone/in a situation where they can't see or hear you're reaction to whatever they've said. So the "lol" lets them know it made you laugh. But if you say lol when someone is there talking to you, it clearly hasn't made you laugh out loud, and even if it did there's no need to say it because they can see you if it did.
