"It is what it is."

perhaps the weakest attempt at profundity that I can imagine

7/8/2009 1:50:11 PM

I've never used "bougie" to refer to someone aspiring above his station. I always use it to refer to a type of conspicuous consumption: "Cameron Village is bougie"

i often use "I could care less" but only in the right situation.


For example:
While discussing the Micheal Jackson drama recently, I stated to someone "I could care less" and changed the subject.
Showing that I really could care less. I did so by talking about something else.

I think it's meant to be used when a situation arises where you know more about said situation than you want to know.

Thats a gross misinterpretation

[Edited on July 8, 2009 at 3:02 PM. Reason : Joie ? I always thought it was Joey, like that guy from Friends]

7/8/2009 3:02:06 PM

yeah, ^^that is way wrong

7/8/2009 3:02:42 PM

^^It's pronounced Joey


funny thing is the dude on Friends is Joey Francis and I'm Joie Frances

ok, no reason for that

The right situation is the non-idiomatically correct instance in which you are describing things which you care about, but you could care less. As has been said, what you actually mean is "I couldn't care less", meaning that you care so little that it would not be possible for you to care any less.

Le sigh.

I love football

I could care less about football

but I don't

I care a fucking lot

7/8/2009 3:07:16 PM

^^no what im saying is that i care enough to actually discuss it with you.

when i really care the least about something.....i dont talk about it.


like, its hard for me explain i guess.
its like saying "if i knew nothing about this i would be perfectly fine"

I really love titties, but I could care less, but that would be gay.

7/8/2009 3:08:42 PM

what if someone else brings up ?

Hey Joie, you want to see my Magic the Gathering collection ?

Hey asshole, I couldn't care less

7/8/2009 3:09:11 PM

^that's when you could say i couldn't care less, i would think. because you didn't talk about it.



mind you im going on sheer semantics here.

Kudos for not getting huffy and insisting you were right and everyone else was wrong, as I tend to do

thanks


it really gets you nowhere unless you are willing to listen and try to understand the opposing side

Offending language: had to of, a corruption of "had to have"
Why it offends: It's fine if you want to be lazy and contract the phrase to "had to've" when you speak, but it should be real fuckin' obvious on the face of things that "had to of" is complete nonsense. Same goes for "could of," "should of," et al.

^My boss does that a lot. Also he completely leaves out the verb 'to be'... For instance "That machine needs painted."

And I agree with joie on this. It goes either way. In all actuality the statement is not necessary. Just say "I don't care".

7/8/2009 3:30:32 PM

so NO OFFENSE i guess

but do you mouthbreathers also say "i do give a damn"

or what

7/8/2009 3:31:35 PM

7/8/2009 3:40:03 PM

i'm not black if that's what you're referring to

7/8/2009 3:40:55 PM

^ Way to end a sentence with a preposition.

7/8/2009 3:43:15 PM

that is prescriptive grammar, better than which you should know

7/8/2009 3:51:42 PM

I hate when people preface something with "I'm not gonna lie..."

as in "I'm not gonna lie, I've been known to get pretty crazy when I'm under the influence of PCP"

Well I never would have expected you to lie, but now that you said that, anything you say without that qualifier is going to be under heavy scrutiny

7/8/2009 3:55:28 PM

"I'm not gonna lie..."
"Honestly..."

Both of the above statements generally preface a lie.

7/8/2009 3:57:37 PM

When people connect two words, one ending in "t" and one beginning with "y", with a "ch" sound.

Couldn't you?- Couldn'tchu

Want you- Wantchu

etc.

Yeah if she doesn't clearly enunciate "I want you to cum on my face"

I cum inside her out of spite

7/8/2009 3:59:49 PM

when people use "sakes" instead of "sake"

e.g. "for heaven's sakes"

7/8/2009 6:45:45 PM

things can have more than one sake.

7/11/2009 12:19:18 AM

sake is never plural

7/11/2009 12:58:43 AM

sure they are

even if you mean the drink.

m-w.com doesn't list plural forms so you'll have to make do with wiktionary.

Ok, let me clarify, "sakes" would apply if one were to say "for their sakes", because one would be talking about more that one person and each person has his/her own sake, but when speaking of a single person (e.g. "him, her, Pete, Christ, Heaven), then one would simply say "sake" (e.g. "his sake", "her sake", Pete's sake", "Christ's sake", "Heaven's sake").

Dude Frosh, just a half hour ago I was in the shower thinking about how anyone who starts a sentence with "no offense, but..." is a fucking pussy. Just say what you're gonna say, whether it offends or not.

7/11/2009 11:16:57 AM

^
No offense, but you're wrong.
It's said to let the audience know the intent.
You're right that it doesn't matter whether or not the audience is offended, but it DOES matter to the audience whether the offense was intended or not.

Ex.
Bob: You should lose some weight.
Sue: YOU CALLIN' ME FAT?! ASSHOLE!
vs.
Bob: No offense, but you should lose some weight.
Sue: Gee, your probably right.... any advice?

One could say sake, but one could also say sakes. Since a sake is an end or a purpose, a good, advancement, or enhancement or something as an ideal, and since it's entirely possible for something to have multiple distinct ends, purposes, or goods/advancements/enhancements as an ideal, it absolutely can be pluralized "sakes" and applied to a single subject.

Or were you just patronizing heaven.

Offending language: ya'll, a corruption of y'all, the contraction of "you all"
Why it offends: It's bad enough that people think Southerners are stupid without you fucking up "y'all." Seriously, it's "you all," not "ya will."
