Common Phrases That Make the English Majors Inside Us Cringe

You've probably heard these before. Hell, you've probably used a few of them. But that doesn't make them right.

#01
"In close proximity."

(Is this anything like fat obesity?)

#02
"I could care less..."

(Um, if you can care less, that means you still kinda care.)

#03
"Under false pretenses."

(Since pretense already means to "allegedly falsely," does that make a false pretense... true?)

#04
"Mass exodus."

(As opposed to a minor, small-scale exodus, like when I excuse myself from the dinner table if someone uses one of these phrases.)

#05
"Advance warning."

(I like my warnings to arrive late.)

#06
"If I had my druthers..."

(Personally, I'd like to hear from individual druthers before I submit to mob rule.)

#07
"Please list all previous experience."

(Where do I list all my, er, future experience?)

#08
"Proactive."

(Often found on crappy resumes. Not mine, though -- I'm absolutely opposed to being active.)

#09
"False sense of security."

(Technically, the sense of security may be unwarranted, but it's not false. Boy, I really sound like an *******, don't I?)

#10
"Willful negligence."

(I sorta doubt anybody wakes up and says to himself, "Let's be negligent of all duties and responsibilities today!")

#11
"Unexpected surprise."

(I wish I could see all my surprises coming.)

#12
"Poor thing has a temperature."

(Actually, that "poor" thing is actually quite fortunate. If he doesn't register on the thermometer, that means he's a ghost.)

#13
"We the people, in order to form a more perfect union..."

(Leave it up to those powder-wigged fops to have us all thinking there are degrees of perfection.)

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

Even TV Land has a lot of more "recent" shows on it. Wish they would play some of the good old stuff.

I now keep singing parts of Fraggle Rock and Animaniacs. All Star was the best Snork too.

JD The Jazz Doctor · Grand Poobah

In 1995 I was sick for like 3 days in winter. I'm pretty sure it was Nick running a 3 day non-stop Taxi marathon. I hadn't seen the show since I was a kid, remembered loving it. It was like 3 days of being teleported to my youth again. that was fun.

We Love It When...
#01
You wake up thinking its time to get up, only to realize that you still have an extra hour.

#02
You score the last blueberry muffin in the morning.

(The person right behind you is so pissed off at you because they too wanted a blueberry muffin and will now have to settle for one of the many leftover bran muffins.)

#03
Your friend drives.

(Youre tired of carting all your friends around in your Honda hatchback, when everyone else owns a larger than life SUV.)

#05
The sheets are clean.

#06
You go to a movie theater and the movie you wanted to see is playing in five minutes.

#07
You go grocery shopping when youre insanely hungry and buy everything that looks somewhat appealing.

(Youll later wonder why you ever thought that frozen corn dogs sounded appetizing. Youll eat them regardless.)

#08
You go to a hip indie rock concert and immediately find parking right in front of the venue.

(Once inside you realize this phenomenon is due to the fact that all the other concert goers were dropped off by their parents, as they are too young to have a license.)

#09
Things come with rebates.

(Youre never going to send it in, but its nice to be disillusioned that youre saving money.)

#10
Waiters forget to charge you for your drinks.

#13
You eat a pint of ice cream and feel fine.

#14

(The scale is light, but you ignore this fact and marvel at the 15 pound you lost since yesterday.)

#15
The only car they have left to rent you is a BMW.

(Damn, I guess youll have to settle.)

#16
You find someone decent enough to let you get in line ahead of them.

(That's altruism.)

#17
Other peoples pets like you more than their own owner.

#18
You dont have to go outside when it is raining.

#19
You can throw money at a problem to solve it.

#20
Dressing rooms dont make you want to hang yourself.

#21
When you go to pay, the cashier tells you the astronomically expensive shirt you can't live without is on sale for $4.

#22
The pool is really warm...

(...but not warm enough to be kind of gross.)

#23
You take the first sip of soda and you can actually feel the caffeine and sugar enter your bloodstream.

Mad Mema · Bad Biker Granny

#10
The Animaniacs.

(We still make our decisions by spinning the Wheel of Morality. And Wakko Warner is probably only reason the majority of American children born in the early 80's know all the capitals of the United States.

I have a pair of black and white cats... litter mates. Their names are Dot and Yakko if that tells you how much I LOVE the Animaniacs to this day.

#10
"Willful negligence."

(I sorta doubt anybody wakes up and says to himself, "Let's be negligent of all duties and responsibilities today!")

Yes... there are people who do. I know several.

Can I call you Dadoo?

(Man, I miss Animaniacs...)

My husband and I also often use, "Okay, I love you, Buh-bye!" (From Buttons and Mindy)
