Here’s a Wall Street one that means absolutely nothing:
“...NET NET...”
I think its supposed to mean roughly the same as:
“At the end of the day...”
I literally thought of you when I read this, literally.
If you want to blow him off, that's OK, but to criticize him for doing his job indicates you lack the understanding of what is occurring.
I saw that and it does not surprise me that it came from a teacher. I have a visual image of a graying child of the 60's who is still wistfully trying to figure out "where it's at".
I think there must be a Brit etymology to the bare naked “seen” without its “have” - lots of Brits, Aussies and Irish use it who seldom make other grammar faux pas which are that egregious.
“Heh, I had an ex who used to talk about the “puppy dog” close. “Just take it home with you for 2 days - 3 days - a week ...””
What I find aggravating about this whole “method” is that it presumes that everyone is just too STUPID to realize they’re being manipulated. It’s very condescending and yet it is TAUGHT to salesmen as “customer service”....which, of course, could not be farther from the truth....!!!
Sooner rather than later
incorrect useage of done/did, was/were, your/you're, there/their/they're
... “and everybody’s getting fat except Mama Cass” ... (in L.A., you know where that’s at!)
***But they think it makes them sound SOOOOOOOOOOO
intelligent.***
There was a woman preacher on TV some years ago who said, “He invited I and my children to dinner.” Guess she thought it sounded better than, “he invited my children and me to dinner.” Then there was the teacher who responded to complaints about the teacher’s entrance exam being too easy by starting her letter to the newspaper with, “I and my colleagues...”
“Where you at?”
This is hugh
Don’t loose it
I’m series
“Back in the day” and “Good times. Good times.” So overused.
I'm rat cheer.
Dialect is a whole differnt ball of wax (kettle of fish? can of worms??)
Did any one mention:
“My Bad” and
“It’s all good”
Yuk!!!!!
Oh my Gaw-od. Like you are so totally correct.
A few days back, Fox News described the getaway attempt of a home invader in the victim’s SUV as “valiant”.
Where’s the valor in robbery and flight from the law?
Vast majority shreds my nerves.
Thousand times smaller?
Take it to the next level.
