Wait. This is the phrases thread. Not the Actions thread. This is getting confusing.

The search function sucks though. I mean, it really sucks. You search for "actions" in titles only and you get 40 threads, none of which have "actions" in the title.

Anybody using the term "deez nuts." I work as a math teacher, and that joke made a comeback in high schools, and I had to almost physically hold myself back from throwing things at the students who used it.

Have a friend at a middle school who's last name starts with a "D". He had to give 4 kids detention for referring to him as "Mr. Deez Nuts".

:lol:

 
"I know we've had our differences, but . . . "

In other words, I pretty much hate you, but now that we're parting ways, I want to make sure everything's cool while still validating my past contributions to any loserish disagreements.

Here's one for the older people. I had a boss in the late 90s that was envious of consultant speak and repeated it whenever possible. His favorite ..."send me a soft copy" - meaning attach it in an email.

He was also fond of saying "spot on" after the thieves from Scottish Power Consulting came over to fleece us.

What a ####.

ETA: damn, forgot - he also started pronouncing process with a long "a." Pro - cess. God I still hate that guy today.

Pray-cess? That would be annoying

Dammit. Typo. Long "o" not long "a" pronunciation.

I have a friend who will frequently start conversations by saying "I don't mean to be insulting." What he means is "I am about to say something incredibly insulting, but I don't want to take responsibility for having insulted anyone."

It's kind of funny because I used to say the same #### when I was in middle school. I just use it back at them and it shuts then up. "You need to do your homework because you got a D left on the last test." "A D what?" "A Deez Nuts, now shut up and do your homework keed."

my 6 year old has been saying "I know, Right?" drives deez nuts crazy because of this thread.

:eek: :mellow: :eek: :mellow:

Top of the list in terms of annoying phrases. It's been shortened to just "RIGHT?!?" in certain circumstances. Immediate need to throat-punch.

Fortunately the #1 culprit at my office is enjoying her final day here today....

I have no idea what FUD means. I've never heard of it until right now. I assume it's an acronym that starts with the F-word, kind of like FUBAR but less clever.

Same here, and even the Urban Dictionary was no help.

It's very common to hear if you work in tech. I expect people who work in that industry to know what it is.

?

Also had to look it up. Doesn't seem like a typical business term.

FUD is often created on purpose. In sales you create FUD with a customer to make them think they need your solution. It can also be used as stall tactic - create FUD to make somebody else busy while you secretly fix the problems on your side.

 
The following internet memes:

"That awkward moment when..."

"When you get it."

"A Florida man shoved ice into his rectum and you wont believe what happened next..."
