"You're gonna like the way it's cooked. I guarantee it."

It goes back farther than that. I'm pretty sure I remember hearing it back in high school ('oh the 1930s?' said the GMTANer).It's probably just a derivative of "doo-doo".

[Cunk]

Has anyone said "short money" yet. As in "sos, I'ze was talkin' to a guy and he was willin' to sell me his atv for short money."

What strikes me as funny about phrases and terms like these is that they all have to said for the first time by somebody. And they know it's their first time saying it.



Wow, I just heard Brent say "short money" when talking about something. You know what? I like it!

(days pass, finally the opportunity arises to use the phrase)

So, I knew I'd have a tuff time comin' up with the money for the trip but the tickets were...(I'm gonna do it!) you see the tickets were...(it's almost like right before an orgasm!)...were sellin' for SHORT MONEY!

I did it! I'm now one of the people who say SHORT MONEY!!!!!!!!

Now tomorrow I'm going I'm going to introduce my friends to my new fashion statemen. I'm going to wear a winter hat even though the forecast calls for a 90 degree day. And then I'm gonna tell 'em, not that the hat was a good deal, or it was cheap! Oh, no. I'm a SHORT MONEY guy now.

"<pronoun> <verb> like a rock star," as in "I partied like a rock star." You know who does stuff like rock stars? Rock stars. Not you, your hipster doofus pal or biff from accounting.

There's nothing "rock 'n roll" about selling a dozen shares of Fizzy Cola, stop implying your mundane, meaningless activities are in anyway rocking and rolling.

Finally, there's nothing "cool" about features on a computer/software application/toaster oven/etc. Stop using "cool" to mean interesting, useful or not awful.

I believe it's been mentioned, but it bears repeating. I think the version I hate most is "the Calvin Johnsons of the world."

You've got your shukes, your chets, your Pickleses.
