Phrases that make you mad.

[AustinN4]

How about non-words instead of phrases? Here are a couple that aren't actually words: Irregardless and Anyways

"Smokey the Bear" No, dammit it's "Smokey Bear"! Real first world problems.

 

[SloppyShooter]

"Have a nice day..."

Well, I WAS until you pulled me over.

Dealing with stupid people & the stuff they say sometimes.

I just literally had this conversation with a custom home builder that i'm selling a fireplace to.

Him ... "The framing specs says 47 5/8" for the framing height & i have 47 1/4", do i need to re-frame? i remember the product is smaller."

Me ... "the 47 5/8" is the minimum framing spec, so you don't have a fire,
Please correct your framing spec."

“I support the second amendment, but...”
Whenever I hear this, some retarded shit soon follows.



“It’s a mute point”.
No, no it’s not.
It might be a MOOT point, though...

I work in the auto industry and we have people who say "VIN number".

Same deal as PIN number.

So you say, "Vehicle identification number" when referring to it?

Just VIN, saying the word "number" is redundant. Sometimes when someone says it to me I reply "I bet you used to work for the Department of Redundancy Department."

Classic!

It is what it is.

And phrasings rather than phrases, anything implying an inanimate object has a will and agency of its own: the car lost control, the gun just went off...

Yeah, well that's because the passive voice sucks. Nobody wants to take responsibility.

On this train of thought . . . it's a WATER HEATER, not a HOT WATER HEATER. Why would you heat hot water? (sorry, but my father was a plumber and that one grinds my grits.)

Yes, or just VIN.

Are you sure your fathor wasn't a plumbor?

"Aim small miss small." I prefer "Aim small HIT small."

"2 guns are 1, 1 gun is none." This makes no sense.

"It was just a simple mistake." It is not the complexity of the mistake that is of concern, but the consequences.

It makes absolute sense to Navy Seals (and most folks, I suppose). The idea is that one gun can fail but the likelihood that two will do so is pretty nil. So 2 is 1 and 1 is none means just exactly that, because the fastest reload in the world is a second gun.
