Rant: Phrases That Annoy Me
- Thread starter swsig
- Start date
When someone is asked a question and the first two words of their response is “ I mean”.
I can deal with that. I can see how that comes about. Examples like "What ammo should I use in my gun's?" always makes me want to respond with "Your gun's WHAT?"
I gave you a "Like" for the Booger Hook.
I am a stickler about safety. I'm one of those who others call a "safety nazi". But I don't care to ever again hear " Keep your booger hook off the bang switch".
"I pulled the trigger on a ..." (meaning "purchased").
"I picked up a ..." (meaning "purchased").
Why not just say "bought"?
"Running" instead of "using". Wa-a-a-a-a-ay too iffing cool.
"She" for a gun, car, boat, etc. Giving any of these items a female name.

In the muzzleloading world, the term “round ball”.
If it is a ball, can’t we assume that it is round?

Ships/boats are traditionally referred to as she, though sometimes given male or neutral names. I’m with you on the other objects though.

Man cave.......
"He Passed". What, passed GO and collected $200? No, he DIED.
"Crossed the rainbow bridge". Same thing, but for animals.
"Grand-dog" . Nope, unless you're harassing your childless kids- then I approve.

Certainly among the most worn out of terms.
"....ain't gonna lie!"
The barber I used the other day said this during his conversation about 30 times.
"Got up late but made it in on time. Ain't gonna lie, I need to hit the sack earlier."
"My wife's kids are a handful. Ain't gonna lie, I love kids but I need some space."
On and on.

Ball?
When .45 ACP FMJ rounds are called “ball, or hardball” bother you?. What about when individual cartridges are referred to as “rounds”? Very confusing.

I always thought those were legitimate terms, maybe because they've been around so long. I could certainly be in error.
