[nirad3]

This one's been on my mind for awhile now, just reminded of it listening to a commercial on Pandora today:

"New and improved"

No, this makes no sense. If something is to be improved upon, that automatically classifies it as something that's been around. Hence it can't be "new".

Or if it's something that's "new", it can't be "improved" since things that are improved upon already existed....

Dumb phrase. Maybe it should be "newly improved", as in "recently improved"?

Get off my lawn.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

"New and improved"

They are just trying to be truthful, what they were selling before was "old and crappy"

 

[shuke]

People calling your new house, apartment, office, your "new digs."
"Hey, nice place, how do you like your new digs?"

Welcome to 1994. Have a seat.

[nirad3]

I love football so I do listen to NFL-Radio on SXM a lot, but man... do they have to say the word "football" before the words "team", "game", "player", etc. every time? Like, we know what sport you're talking about, fella. Drives me batty.

 

[otb_lifer]

frankly, Mr. Shankly

 

[nirad3]

Referring to signing a lucrative contract as the "bag". Dumb.

[3C's]

Might have been mentioned already but I'm not going back to check...so tired of the "crooked number" baseball announcers keep using over and over and over and over again.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Might have been mentioned already but I'm not going back to check...so tired of the "crooked number" baseball announcers keep using over and over and over and over again.

What does that mean? (I haven't watched baseball in a good while.)

Multiple runs scored by one team in any given inning. Meaning 1 is a straight number, but 2 3 etc. are "crooked" numbers.

 

[JohnnyU]

Parents calling referring to their kids as "littles." For example: Took the littles for ice cream.

[TheFatKid]

Could be controversial because a quick forum search reveals a lot of usage of this term, banger.

to me it sounds like a British term that Americans have picked up.

That Wonderwall by Oasis, what a banger!

"My brother in Christ..."

I see that a lot - "Well my brother in Christ, you're using too many onions in your sauce..."

I'm not religious, and I ain't your brother.

I think that got popularized by Succession. During Kendall's birthday party, He is doosh-walking through the party, checking the vibe and listening to the music playing and screams out "All bangers, all the time!" I've seen it used ironically.

 

[arrow1]

I referenced "littles" upstream, but now hear kids referred to as "littles" "middles" and "bigs," for elementary, jr. high, and high school respectively.

 

[nirad3]

Whoever came up with "I was today years old when..." needs a good throatpunch.

Yes this is so terrible.
