Phrases that make you mad.

[skfullgun]

99 actual/ "feels like" 101 probably doesn't make much of a difference. But "99F, thanks to humidity and no wind, feels like 110, because you can't even breathe" might

Then say it is is 99 degrees and 90% humidity. I'm smart enough to know that means it isn't just hot, but DAYUM hot!

I'll make my point about "feels like" another way: Masturbation may FEEL LIKE vaginal sex, but it aint!

Texas is hot in the summertime?

Who knew?

 

[Vaquero]

Bunch of snowflakes

I still "write" notes, etc. (mostly to myself) while I'm working on something in the shop or garage. It's a lot of damn trouble to pull out a phone, etc. and write a note (especially if I'm wearing gloves!).

Sure. I do the same.
But they're very short. Things like Get dogfood or dentist 3:00pm or pick up Mother-in-Law from jail, etc.
I don't write out long pages of verbiage. haven't done that since school decades ago. Nowadays students tap out everything on a keyboard and print it off.

There once was a word - Penmanship.
Definition: The art of handwriting; the use of the pen in writing.
Now let us equate this to Marksmanship.
Being that John and Jane Q. are pretty much Dumbass Central Station at Rush Hour, do you really want to have to decipher their hen scratchings? Just as we do not enjoy their firearm handling skillz.

Oh but I'm enjoying their firearm handling skillz so very much! It's a source of entertainment for me how the ones that do go to the range shoot at a static paper target literally 5 feet away and it looks like they peppered it with a shotgun from 25 yards away.

Not if there using a table saw, lathe, drill press, etc. I write notes on whatever is handy; 2x4, sheetrock wall, plywood, etc.

Since this whole ‘feels like’ temperature announcement is a relatively new thing for me, I’d guess we natives have to translate for all those folks from CA, OR, and WA that have chosen to relocate here.

Since my philosophy is immigration without assimilation is invasion, the weather announcers (computer models do the forecasting) seem to be aiding and abetting the invaders.

And that, I just cannot abide.

If the weather announcer wants to give something useful to help someone understand the relationship between temp, RH, and wind, then say something like “tomorrow, after noon, you can make ball soup standing in the shade”.

Although, any Texan can tell you that’s going to be the case across most of Texas pretty much ten months of the year or more. The only variable is how long it takes to make.

Didn't your Momma teach you to NOT write on the walls?

Weather announcers are useless. Pay no attention.
I wish I could be wrong 75% of the time on my job.

One of the wonderful things about our language is how it is always changing and adapting.
When was the last time you heard 23 Skidoo or dimestore cowboy?
I had an friendly argument with a woman a few days ago about cursive writing. I believe it is an ancient form of writing that came about due to people using quill pens and ink wells. Who does that any more except calligraphy fans? Heck, who even writes things out nowadays?
Even during cursive heyday print media such as newspapers, books, etc where in PRINT.
Today everything we TYPE is in print. I was taught cursive writing as a school kid. Went back to print in High School.
Cursive is archaic. I don't hate it but naaaaaa…..I'll do print.

Been writing letters to one of my Grandaughters the last few months. She was never taught to write in cursive and has a difficult hard time reading it as well.....asked me to print my letters....nope......better communication skills can only help.....been writing more letters other family members as well instead of texts and emails....

The woman is a saint!
Having a little heathen like you around was...…...LoL

When I was in Tucson I would make fun of the weather forcastors. How bad do you have to be to get stuck in the desert?

 

[avvidclif]

Number one on my list is "You know" Listening to a speaker who ends almost if not every mangled sentence with "You Know". Especially prevalent when a sportscaster is interviewing an athlete. Another is not knowing proper usage of words. There is a difference between their (possesive) and there (a place). Grrrr

Desert Eagle.

Yeah, that's a stupid contraction for a stupid firearm.

 

[innominate]

I'm surprised someone has not mentioned when people use the letter O instead of zero.

"Feels like" temperature.

The weatherman says, "It will be 99 degrees today but will "FEEL LIKE" 111 degrees!"

I think it is further evidence of the pussification of America. It it is 99 outside, it is 99! They have whined and complained so long they feel like the have to over-inflate and exaggerate everything that happens to them!

More like nobody cares to understand what Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature Index is anymore and has dumbed it down to "feels like" . . .
