SiG Lady Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Actually I rather like that "throwing someone under the bus" phrase. It's strong and has some pretty intense meaning. Of course, like all popular phrases, it's going to get OLD and get overused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillD Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 When you age as a shooter, you'll find you don't hear quite as well as you once did. If you drink enough, you'll find you don't really care what most people say. I ignore just about everyone and drink. I'm a happy camper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm already old and don't care what people say - without drinking. Maybe if I start drinking they'll disappear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooting4life Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I hate when my boss tells me I need to get "buy in" from my staff. People need to get over their feelings and just do the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biloxi23 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 If I'm not mistaken, "jibe" is a nautical term used on sailboats. But, maybe I'm daydreamin' again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiG Lady Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 If had a dollar for every time a prison inmate says, "...You know what I'm sayin'?" God, how totally weary I am of that one! Prisons ought to establish a rule or two about using that phrase... such as, maybe adding a day to their sentences if they're caught using it (and at the rate they say it, those days will add up fast). And offer classes on how to stop saying it. That might go a long way toward fixing some problems. You think I'm kidding. No. It's called constructive discipline. Offer inmates some earned time off for succeeding. Hey, it's an idea. I'm tired of hearing "...You know what I'm sayin'" after every other word in their remarks! It's even worse than "like."

SethML3602 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I have to say that some of the bad ones are: "PT, good for you and good for me" "If we don't do it who will" and the worst ones: "You can't" "You won't" "You don't have the skills" "the word like gets on my nerves like i can't believe that like you would use that word like 1000 times like in the same sentence" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZinSC Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 If I'm not mistaken, "jibe" is a nautical term used on sailboats. But, maybe I'm daydreamin' again. Yes, you are correct. It has two meanings: intransitive verb :to shift suddenly and forcibly from one side to the other —used of a fore-and-aft sail : to change a vessel's course when sailing with the wind so that as the stern passes through the eye of the wind the boom swings to the opposite side intransitive verb : to be in accord : agree taken from www.m-w.com Jive on the other hand has a few meanings, none of them is to agree, or be in accord. My personal favorite, again from www.m-w.com is: a : glib, deceptive, or foolish talk b : the jargon of hipsters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LT45 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 "I hear what you're saying" My old boss would ask me to research something or ask for an opinion. I'd give it my best shot, then inevitably he would say "I hear what you're saying" then ignore my input. What an A**hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiG Lady Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Smart Ass. However, the way they tend to USE it in context, it comes on like a phrase or crutch thrown in needlessly... over and over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumpygravy Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) Not one that "bugs" me, but I do find it amusing. This is another contribution from my better half: "It's a doggy dog world" She first heard it many years ago as a recruiter for a large insurance company. After the interview, she and her colleages had quite a laugh during the debrief while they came to the conclusion that it must have been a contraction of: "It's a dog-eat-dog world". We chuckle about it every now and then especically because we love dogs... Edited August 3, 2011 by lumpygravy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
want2race Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 "Um" "Errrr" "Uhhhh" You get 3 freebies. If you are addressing a crowd, learn to accept a silent pause. Excessive use is usually due to the speaker, orator, narrator not wanting any breaks. If you are deciding what to say, it's ok to not say or utter anything instead of filling the void with garbage. I've seen someone use "Ummm" about 120 times, while reading a prepared lecture. That one I don't understand. The words are written down, as she wrote them yet she still found it necessary to "Ummm" it to DEATH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
