  • When companies say things like: "Providing Good Customer Service is Our Goal" To me that implies that as a goal they have not yet achieved it.

    Here is one we get a lot of over here is: bae. I think it is supposed to be short for baby. Aye? 1) the word is only four letters and two syllables long and 2) it does not contain an e.

    I've even seen this on T-Shirts in Walmart, like this:
    men-s-i-love-bae-t-shirt-men-s-t-shirt.jpg

    Fine, if your a fan of British aircraft ;), otherwise its just stoooopid.


    Stooopid Flucksticks!!

    And people who finish a sentence saying .com'. Please die now.
    only one I ever encountered was "a bit last-minute.com" (funny how its never .org or .co.uk. )

    also AF. worst abbreviation ever. if you havent been exposed to this then its probably just matter of time.
  • We have a word in Danish: bæ / BÆ which uses one of our "special letters" - 'Æ' which is a contracted A and E.
    It is pronounced the same way as in the word BAE - and it mean poop, feces ... ****.

    Perfect t-**** for people that are shitheads.

    Nay. Supposed to be a hip'n'chic way of shortening "babe". Phonologically (beɪb) it's a part of the word "babe". To mess with people we should make it into a thing, and start posting it as "ba'e"... Never mind, can't be bothered. But please, go ahead without me.

    Personally, I hate "bae" and I'll not now start using the word "babe" nor "baby" as terms of affection, but I will tell you that I love you. (Awww, gosh! -Ed)

    I was under the impression that BAE was sort of an acronym, standing for 'Before Anyone Else' - at least that's a claim i have seen several times on 9GAG.
    But even that explanation does little to alleviate the sheer stupidity of the phrase.

    On a similar note, i've often seen people say "KYS" to others with whom they disagree
    (For those of you who've been lucky enough to never come across this one, it stands for 'Kill Your Self' (sic) - this one also has a different meaning in danish: it's simply our word for 'kiss'

  • It was cringeworthy to hear 49 year old Jamie Foxx a couple of weeks back (on Graham Norton) repeatedly referring to his house as his 'crib'.
  • edited July 2017
    cringe...who does he think he is, westwood?

    probably time to stop calling himself 'jamie foxx' as well. according to wiki his real name is Eric Bishop. if I ever see him in Sainsbury's I'll shout that name at him repeatedly until he reluctantly acknowledges me with an awkward side-glance, before shuffling off in shame with his street cred in tatters.

    That made me laugh!

  • It does make you wonder if Jamie Foxx was influenced by Foxx Fights Back when choosing his Equity name?

    The double 'x' can't be a coincidence, surely...

  • I can't work out if that's a babygrow, or if it's an adult sized bathing costume? if it's the former, joke is pathetic and not funny at all, and only cretinous white trash people would put their baby in that thing. If it's the latter the 'irony' is probably lost as the only person who would wear it would be something you'd rather not look at....

  • Its an adult swim suit. However, what an utter waste of the earths resources. It would have been far better with no words on at all.

    Yep Mike I am 155% with you on that one, I work in a supermarket, and I absolutely hate when they label, something which is obviously gluten free as gluten free. But it's the same way as "Organic" was a few years back, organic isn't that special anymore, and you can only add $1 to the cost of something for that now. Vegetarian no longer spins a cash web you're lucky if you can add a quarter to something for labeling it Veggie these days. But Gluten Free is still good for at least a $2 price bump. But now we get into the realms of fad diets and other things. So a regular box of cereal is $3 throw in suitable for vegetarians, because obviously grains have a high meat content when they're still attached to the plant there's an extra 25 cents added, throw in organic, there's an extra $1, then throw in Gluten Free, and remember to point out how the cereal is made of something ridiculous like Amaranth, Alfalfa Sprouts, and Flax, and there's another $2 at least......But now's where you get creative, throw in Paleo there's at least an extra $4, add to that Atkins compatible, there's another $2, and not really that out there yet, but the stuff that caters for it is way overpriced now, throw in Keto friendly, and there's an extra $6.

    See you've now made a $3 box of cereal cost $18.25, and totally alienated all the customers at the store, now every box of that sh*t will expire, as nobody will buy it. The store will never get it again, and then the 3 hipsters that came in and actually bought it will complain that now they have to drive all the way to Wholefoods, and it'll cost them $45 there instead....

    What the f*ck is wrong with a box of frigging Rice Krispies for f*cks sake?!

  • This!
    I hate it when people say they are more than a 100% certain or whatever.
    Also, in a unanimous personal vote I also happen to hate when people say "This!" It goes along with "Same." Neither do a reply make.
    Yep Mike I am 155% with you on that one

    What now?
  • BTW I know it's late for me and all but I just can't get the cereal box to go from $3 to $18.25 given the numbers you presented. Sorry, I should hit the hay for a zzznore.

  • It's packaged in a facility that handles tree nuts, peanuts, milk, soy products, egg whites, and wheat along with Uranium 235, on a conveyor belt salvaged from an illudium q-36 explosive space modulator.

  • 3 + .25 = 3.25
    3.25 + 1 = 4.25
    4.25 + 2 = 6.25
    6.25 + 4 = 10.25
    10.25 + 2 = 12.25
    12.25 + 6 = 18.25

    There we go.....You can fine pick the numbers without even reading the rant :p

  • Another one I see is everything that goes wrong is a 'fail' or 'epic fail'
    The trouble with tribbles is.......
