and when they wear things they like to say they are "rockin" them
I've definitely said this on more than one occasion.
and when they wear things they like to say they are "rockin" them
aren't you around 80 though?I love this thread. It's one of the few things out there right now that make me feel truly blessed in that I have never heard 90% of the things people bring up here.
Close. But I imagine it is tied more to my lack of a FB account.aren't you around 80 though?
My wife is a supervisor/barista at the 'bucks. I'll have to ask her if she considers what she makes "handcrafted".The CEO of Starbucks was on CNBC yesterday and kept saying, "our handcrafted beverages." After the third time I jumped out of my first floor window.

Edit: Yup, that's definitely a company buzzword and she feels that what she produces would be called "handcrafted". No other way to say it, really.
The worst. Usually said by people who have no lives.Fur-babies
this tweet from @dril killed me:The CEO of Starbucks was on CNBC yesterday and kept saying, "our handcrafted beverages." After the third time I jumped out of my first floor window.
epic ; supreme court rules nabisco is legally allowed to label their products as "Homemade" after forcing the employees to live at the factory

This one is awful, but I think both "doggo" and "pupper" should be allowed.Fur-babies
that is awful“Socialize” - pretty sure this is a Honda but it has all of a sudden became the word our management is using in every conversation. “Hey Doug, when you talk to ‘client x’, just socialize the plan for them to give us more advance notice on project resource requests.”

especially those people who really think they are saying something terribly meaningful/philosophical when they use itit is what it is...
is it, really?
I use this at work on occasion....if there's an existing and immutable site condition that makes anything we want to do impossible.it is what it is...

I agree it's awful if you say it as some kind of deep statement. I will cop to saying "it is what it is" but never trying to be clever. It is always trying to get someone to just accept a situation and move on. For example, a co-worker complaining to me about some new procedure that we have to do at work that I don't actually think is a big deal. "Yeah, I hear you. It does suck but I guess it is what it is." I am just trying to end the conversation or at least move it to a new topic.especially those people who really think they are saying something terribly meaningful/philosophical when they use it

I find it works really well for that because it's so pointless and adds so much nothing that it's hard to even respond to.only acceptable use
we like to call that an "idiot ender"
Yep. I believe a great wise man of the 20th century used a 1st person variant of this quite often.only acceptable useI agree it's awful if you say it as some kind of deep statement.

I don’t use it often but when I do it’s as a polite way of saying “Deal with it.”.it is what it is...
If someone said that to me, I’d ask them to rephrase their question in words regular people use.“Socialize” - pretty sure this is a Honda but it has all of a sudden became the word our management is using in every conversation. “Hey Doug, when you talk to ‘client x’, just socialize the plan for them to give us more advance notice on project resource requests.”
I can't even figure out what that word is supposed to mean in this context. Probably just as well.“Socialize” - pretty sure this is a Honda but it has all of a sudden became the word our management is using in every conversation. “Hey Doug, when you talk to ‘client x’, just socialize the plan for them to give us more advance notice on project resource requests.”
They obviously want the government to take over the planning and production of something or other, but in that example, it's hard to say what.I can't even figure out what that word is supposed to mean in this context. Probably just as well.
Yes, it sounds like a mute point.I find it works really well for that because it's so pointless and adds so much nothing that it's hard to even respond to.
Amen.If someone said that to me, I’d ask them to rephrase their question in words regular people use.
If my boss said that to me, I'd sign up for Facebook under a pseudonym and make a page for the plan. Then email the link to the client. Maybe with a cc: for the boss. "Hey boss, totally socialized the plan."“Socialize” - pretty sure this is a Honda but it has all of a sudden became the word our management is using in every conversation. “Hey Doug, when you talk to ‘client x’, just socialize the plan for them to give us more advance notice on project resource requests.”
It's just the sort of word that the purveyors of fear porn will use heavily and often, nonstop.The term “twindemic” was first introduced—to the general public, at least—by The New York Times in an article published on August 16. The Times credits L.J. Tan, PhD, as an "early promoter of the term." Tan is the chief strategy officer for the Immunization Action Coalition, a nonprofit group that works to increase vaccination rates.
Total bull#### too. I would expect the precautions everyone is talking will keep flu numbers way down this year.I'm going to submit that this one be strangled in the cradle: TWINDEMIC.

If everyone were doing that, we wouldn't have either one.Total bull#### too. I would expect the precautions everyone is talking will keep flu numbers way down this year.
