It's always my time of the month when the hussies aren't fixin' up supper and getting me an ice cold Milwaukee's Beast.

If I never hear the phrase "Let's take a proactive stance on this and think outside the box if we have to," I will shuffle off this mortal coil knowing that there is a just and loving God.

"Touching base" is always one that peeves me.

Also my own favourite is when I hear the words "With respect" which in most instances is nothing of the sort.

Woman, there's only one of us in this conversation who suffers from a substantial hearing loss and it ain't you! Now get a move on before the biscuits start burnin'!

Oooh, I'm definitely an offender there! I always say stuff like "Let's be sure to touch base before we head out" which means we probably wouldn't have made it as a couple, Verbal.

I even had a boss that said "duly noted." How 1940s is that???

I also hate "At the end of the day..." and "vis a vis"

Maybe we should curb this "Annoying phrases" subcategory cause I'm startin' to feel like a schmuck here. I say "At the end of the day" and "duly noted" on a fairly regular basis.

My dad says that all the time, actually.

Another dream shattered! Still, there's always the next life.

Starting an annoying phrases thread sounds like fun. Why don't we pop it in the cappacino machine and see if it comes up frothy?

"Duly noted" only sounds good when said by:

Cletus' wife: "Cletus, if I find pig lipstick on your collar again, you
ain't sleepin' in the sty no more!"

Cletus: "Duly noted."

Cletus' response to the news of Spy Magazine's cancellation is still the funniest thing ever on The Simpsons next to the entire time machine toaster episode.

Perhaps I should travel south today and whip your lousy male chauvinist ass ElVez. It's only about a 3 hour drive for me.

Please, I only have one tooth left (man, Poppet can throw a nasty right cross) and if the cops get called out to my trailer park one more time, I'll get evicted and probably lose my entire collection of black velvet Bocephus artwork and signed Blue Collar Comedy Tour commemorative plates.

Everyone at my local Kroger supermarket is now aware, after hearing the eardrum-splitting proclamation issued by my almost-4-year-old son, that his friend Gracie has no penis.

My son calls it his "weenis".

the one that gets to me most is "You know what I mean"

I think you posted this on the wrong thread.....you know what I mean?

Well, that's why it's a "random" thought!

Extreme Honey · Post by **Extreme Honey** » Fri Sep 09, 2005 3:20 pm

Perhaps some thought are randomer than others. Haha, I love the toaster time machine episode too. But the 2nd best simpsons quote after the Cletus one is:

Homer:"Ooooooh, they have the internet on computers now!"

Hahahaha, You gotta love Homer.

'How about a bit of blue sky thinking on this guys?'
'Fuck off, this is Manchester.'

My 4-yr-old said to my 12 year-old's friend in a brewery shop in a loud voice in front of several strangers 'You kisssed my vagina' ('or rather ''gina'). A father of a young daughter was struggling to stifle his giggles. Gotta love 4 year-olds.

Look back a page - I posted this before the 'Annoying phrases' thread was started - know what I mean?

Well i'm feeling pretty damn miserable tonight. My youngest son left home tonight to go and live in London with his dad as he starts college up there on monday so it makes more sense than commuting. I know i'll see him at Christmas and easter and the odd weekend but its not the same. I'll miss him terribly and am a weeping puffy eyed horrible snotty mess. And with that beautiful imagery ive conjured up i'll bid you all goodnight

Poor Gilli! My sympathies. That's probably how our dog's mum is feeling right now, or her breeder, at least! (Though they haven't had quite as long to bond!)
