Fanboy. Particularly when used to describe someone who likes Glock pistols.

It isn't simply a cliché. It's an insult...and a stupid one at that.

It sounds like something a 12-year-old would say.

Maybe someone has said this but I haven't noticed it...

Quote a post, rearrange or change a couple of words and proudly proclaim to the world,

"Fixed it for you."

No, you didn't "fix" anything. They said what they said, and I'm sure they meant what they said. If you don't agree with it, stand up on your own two feet and say what you think.

I think that was the point. They just did, but in a trying-to-be-humorous manner so as not to be TOO rude about it.

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.

Ding,Ding,Ding WINNER!! This is my one and only true pet peeve.So much so that I can't resist calling out the irresponsible person who posted it. Everything else meh, I can live with.

 

[eahicks]

I prefer to call "em' squirt guns....ie....water pistols......

And that's pretty freaking stupid too, man. I doubt you would enjoy getting shot by a "squirt gun" as you call it.

And we were doing so well . . .

(In before the lock!)

edit: Sorry for the cliche . . .

Inevitable. See: 'the scorpion and the frog'.

 

[Gamecock]

I rather enjoy all the clever metaphors. Cringe if you wish, or enjoy.

 

[JayFramer]

I think they've all been covered except maybe:

"I have absolutely no idea on how to answer your question. However, I'm sure someone will come along shortly to answer it for you".



Well gee, why did you even post??

 

[crankyoldlady]

Baby talk drives me nuts, like adding ie on make of gun. Makes
me think of Richard Simmons type people talking to 3yr olds.

"Baby talk"...monkey see, monkey do.

Who are these people?

 

[Drm50]

I'm guilty of Clips, grips and calling revolvers pistols. I doubt that
I'll change my ways at this late date. Although it's not the right
name, it is kind of a regional thing. Yea, I was one of those guys
running around the formation yelling this is my rifle this is my
gun this one is for shooting, this one is for fun. Only once, I am
a fast learner.

Lighten up, Frances. I like this stuff.

Some people need a glue stick instead of chapstick.....

 

[smoothshooter]

"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.

Yeah.
The " platform " one is particularly annoying.

 

[CalmerThanYou]

Two words....."Rig" and "Fanny Pack" Just not right.
Well, I guess that's three.

It seems to me that too many of you have nothing better to do but post about what someone else has posted!
A useless thread with just taking up band with.....

 

[Buford57]

Gun porn

Yes, I have been guilty of describing a new acquisition as my prom date, the grips/stocks as shoes and the holster as a dress - but I still dislike the term.

 

[Warren Sear]

The suffix "-ish", as in "I paid $300-ish for this gun", or "I'll be there at 4 O'clock-ish". Sounds like a 15 year old Valley Girl. Gag me. It has no place in masculine dialog.

And yet...... Here you are adding to it.

 

[ditrina]

Agreed..
Thank your for your opinions and I appreciate the need to vent

So.... I was think about picking up a new toy. Didn't have to be brand new but definitely wanted it to be minty. LGS had a tactical AR platform with awesome furniture and 30rd clips for 5.56 boolits. The sales guy said it was a tack driver and the price was $500ish. So... I pulled the trigger. When I got home I lubed her up real well cuz I know she'll like to run wet. At the range I fed her a steady diet of remmie .223 which I picked up for a good deal with a rebate check. The gun runs buttery smooth bustin' caps, and the fire control group breaks like glass. Not sure if I'll use it for bear or two-legged critter defense... better to judged by 12 than carried by 6... just sayin'.
