Seeing commercials for one of the horrible chain restaurants selling "cross-cut ribs".

Wow, you cut the ribs in half?!?!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one. WTF are those things?

Cross-cutting a rack of just means cutting them across the bones. So you take a 14 bone rib rack and cut it down the middle, to make two smaller 14 bone rib racks.

Why someone would want to use this as a marketing strategy is beyond me.

Well most of the meat is on one side of the rib. So the can cross cut the rack and serve only the fat side of the rib....fyi

"Most of the meat is on one side of the rib"? What the #### are you talking about. Also, that's not why Applebees/Fridays or whoever is doing it.

I have a friend who sits on the NCBCR (National Culinary Board of Chain Restaurants) - He confirmed this with me yesterday. I should have said "end" not "side". One end is meaty the other end is not. Its been very effective for participating restaurants.

Rock Star/Rock Stars.

Only applies to actual, bona fide Rock Stars. Yet I see it applied to all kinds of ridiculous things. For instance I just got an email for this conference about 3D printing:

"How Will 3D Printing Affect Your Industry? Don’t Miss Rock Stars of 3D Printing"

Previously I'd received notices for conferences about the Rock Stars of Big Data (Big Data - there's another term that should kindly shove it).

I want to put whoever is responsible for applying this term to the most tedious, mundane, non-interesting things in a blender with kerosene and live flesh eating ants, turn the blender on and drop it in a tub of boiling water.

you need to add some fire to this. otherwise you're just boiling kerosene and ants.

Wouldn't dropping the plugged in and running blender into the boiling water do the trick?

I called this place a couple of weeks ago when Finless posted some other bull####. These guys said they have never heard of him. I talked to the CEO.

 
"Ebola". Like you, "you smell like Ebola" or "you are Ebola." Also, "on fleek" is approaching this rapidly. Damn kids.

 
I already despise "I know, right?".... but now it's being shortened by white trash everywhere to simply "right?"

So stupid.

 
"I don't have a dog in this fight..." followed immediately by a "but" and then a screed about how important their opinion is on a topic, especially as it relates to wine and the wine industry.

if you're not involved, or can't make a statement without qualification, then ####.

 
Lately, I've noticed a lot of people starting a sentence with "So..." "So, we were at the supermarket when..." "So, tomorrow we play the Eagles..."

Ugh. Stop doing that.
