Words/Phrases You Hate

Anything any business consultant says.

“Synergistic integration” TV ad is about right.

We had some fucktard talking about sexual harassment today; required by our insurance carriers for our new lawyers.

I may have killed the kum-ba-ya-mood by laying out my rules:

  1. No one here dates anyone. We can’t legally prevent you from dating, hooking up, whatever, but we sure as hell can fire you if we find out. And we will. Both parties.

  2. Don’t look at dirty pictures at work. We have a pervert in the bowels of the IT department we don’t let out. He scans for dirty pictures, emails, etc. Don’t look at, read, or send anything you don’t want the creepy dude reading. You will be caught.

Everyone laughed nervously, but my 35 seconds was more effective than the 2 hour presentation about feelings.


This is me when people say, “per se” and have no idea how to use the phrase correctly.

Never pay full price for late pizza!

“I could care less.” Every time I hear that I think, “no, that means you do actually care, which is the opposite of what you’re trying to express.”

“alternative sources of revenue”

I would rather have my balls caught in a bear trap than to hear that shit.

I remember watching a training video at a grocery store. They displayed instances of sexual harassment. I have never laughed so hard at a job orientation in my life.
In the video, this dude walks up to a lady operating a forklift and says" hey Glenda my favorite diesel dyke , one night with me and I’ll set you straight!"
I laughed so hard but by that point I had the job so it was okay.

Another humurous story. My buddy got a bj in the washroom from one of the servers at his workplace. A few days later the manager tells him that the same girl complained about his sexist remarks to the servers when they grab the food off the line lol. I WAS LIKE DID YOU TELL HER SHE BJ’D YOU IN THE WASHROOM LOL.

“Oh balls”

…wtf?!? Whose balls? What balls? WHY ARE YOU SAYING BALLS!?!

Ewww… I would much rather have alternative revenue streams than my balls destroyed by a bear trap…

“mine as well…” as in, “I mine as well hit the head now before I have to sit in the car for 4 hours.”

My personal favorite thing to hate is

“Its not my fault”

Oh, whew. I was thinking as I started reading that I say that. Someone could comment that their coffee is cold, for instance, and I might say, “mine as well.”

But I don’t use it in the manner you outlined.

Supposably

what about the term “as dick” and “as balls.” As in “its cold as balls outside” or “its hot as dick.”

“That midterm was hard as balls.”
“That meeting was boring as dick.”
