Once you’ve learned to hate this expression as much as I do, you’re going to start hearing it everywhere. And then, on or around the forty-hundred-billionth time you hear it, the tiny parasitic worms that live just under your skull will emerge from your eyes, ears, and nostrils to commit ritual suicide on your forehead [...]

I don’t fucking care at all that Richard Dawkins invented this word. It’s straight up horrible and nobody will point out this fact so I guess I have to. First of all, Richard Dawkins is a dick. I mean his NAME is even Dick. I’m an atheist but I think between he and Christopher Hitchens, [...]
Stand Idly By / Sit Idly By
Have you ever heard anyone use the word “idly” without this expression? No, you haven’t, because this word is mentally challenged. It is as lazy as its definition implies and needs the support of at least two other words to function. Look at its entry in the Online Etymology Dictionary. It has no history, it [...]

Here’s a weird one where I hate the word, but I actually like it in its archaic form. In case you’ve been living in a cage in your uncle Harry’s basement, subsisting off sewer rats that venture too close to your putrid, pus-spewing, gangrenous foot, which you fractured trying to escape but were thwarted by [...]

This acronym, which once stood for “obsessive-compulsive disorder”, is now a simple stand-in for cleanliness, perpetrated by the denizens of filth, [...]
Have a Good One
Have a good what, asshole? A good day? A good life? A good diarrhea? What on Earth is this noisy air that escapes your lungs every time you walk away? And who taught you to talk to strangers, or worse, your friends, like such a turd? What ever happened to “good bye”? It used to [...]
Meta
People, listen up and listen good. “Meta” is not an adjective. It is a prefix which can take one of two meanings: connected with a change of position or state metamorphosis metabolism higher; beyond metaphysics metalanguage But now some people have decided it would be a good idea to take this PREFIX and turn it [...]
