Re: Pet Peeves?

Mr. Pulaski would say without meaning.



LOL. Had to think about that for a second. Brilliant!



No way. Never noticed that. On the other hand, I am always amused by Brit reporters'...

Re: Pet Peeves?

Aka synonyms. You sound like Big Brother in Orwell's novel: wanting to strip the language bare.

It's pithy.



Lucky.

Re: Pet Peeves?

If you eliminated "made up words" from the vocabulary, there wouldn't be much left. How do think a language evolves?



Haven't a clue. Been here way too long.

Re: Pet Peeves?

I always say railroad station.



Irregardless is a perfectly good word that I like to use on occasion.

Re: Pet Peeves?

To say "that have signs in kilometers". What is wrong with "train station"?



Your instead of you're - makes me cringe.

Amusing snippet on the radio the other day: there is a trend here now...

Re: Pet Peeves?

Very cool. Did you happen to see The Fall? Brilliant show set in Belfast. I love it.

Re: Pet Peeves?

I was making a joke re Kelvin/Kermit. Oh, well, I thought it was amusing.

Coconut oil, surely, is very greasy? My face would probably be covered with bugs by the time I return home.

Re: Pet Peeves?

Thank you so much!



Kelvin? He's a Muppet, isn't he?



How on earth would I rear a baby bird, especially with cats in the house? No, I don't need makeup. I meant moisturizer, which I do...

Re: Pet Peeves?

Metric measurements.

Celsius temperatures.

Taking a walk in high humidity and $50 worth of Clinique floats right off my face.

Seeing little birds on the ground that cannot fly. Ruins my day

Re: Pet Peeves?

I've been staring at this for 5 minutes now and have finally figured out that you are using "gets" as a swear word. It's been decades since I've seen it used in that way.



They are. Each time I...

Stores that misspell words. A local store is having a clearence; another is selling suppliments.

Re: Pet Peeves?

LOL, if I am honest, that is why I use the self-check lane. Also cannot stand the way the cashiers manhandle my fruits and veggies, not to mention the 200 bags they use.

Re: Pet Peeves?

One of my neighbors has a lovely pit bull. Makes me so sad to see them drag him outdoors to do his business and then immediately drag him indoors again. Why do these people have dogs?

Re: Pet Peeves?

At my supermarket there are about 8 self-check lanes, including 3 or 4 express lanes. So it wouldn't make sense to leave all these lanes empty save for the shopper with just a few items.

Re: Pet Peeves?

Folks who clean up after their mutt, put its poop in a plastic bag, then throw the bag to the ground. What's up with that?

Shoppers with 1 or 2 items who use the regular self-checkout lane instead...
