Now everybody, be nice! No Names!

There are some standard responses to posts that we really need to retire. One that really gets me is:
"I just drooled all over my keyboard!"

This is usually in response to a particularly beautiful picture of whatever. I know people get tired of simply saying "Wow!" or "That's Beautiful!" so I can see wanting to say something different. But couldn't we select something a little more original, not to mention a little less disgusting?

One of my peeves is seeing one's revolver next to the bacon and eggs.If you have to protect your breakfast maybe the dog should be in another room.

"I picked up" instead of "bought".

"I pulled the trigger" instead of "I made a decision".

"Platform" instead of "gun".

Those are the worst IMHO.

"Minty" guns kind of get on my nerves. I don't know about other folks, but I don't make a habit of rubbing toothpaste on my guns.

That one is so bad I can now laugh at it! "Cherry" is also great!

Sal, I'm glad that we were able to bring a little joy and sunshine into your day; and in an effort to make it even better let me add my all time pet peeve anyone who uses the word TOY when referring to any type of firearm.

How about any post that begins with "So" ?
That is a fairly recent affectation that people must have seen somewhere and think that is the proper way to begin a sentence and adopted it.

Saying that a gun "followed me home".

Calling grips or stocks "shoes".

Some good ones there, no doubt! I can't believe I forgot "boolets"!!! Where did that come from? All of a sudden everyone is from Mexico???

Here's another one that deserves mention: "sexy", in reference to a gun. Anyone who looks at a gun and it reminds them of sex is seriously ill.

Calling guns "she" is weird, too.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
People Eating Tasty Animals.

Both were mildly amusing the first 5000 times. After the 5001 it's time to move on.

Dream on. The clichés are as firmly imbedded in the gun culture as fossils are in Montana granite.

But since we're dreaming, here's one: Furniture. As in, "I got some new furniture for my AR!" Furniture? Really?

"My Mossberg came with real wood furniture!"

Get away from me with that. Just go.

"Sweet"

Trigger breaks like glass

Loaded a 147 gr "pill" atop a 6gr of wambam powder

"She" runs good on Acme ammo.

The list is endless.
