George Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Walla Walla is typically known as crowd noise in the post production world, sometimes AKA as Yuba, Yuba, or Rada Rada. And voila, there you have it. -- Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I'm also getting a little weary of "Yadda, yadda..." too, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Merlin that is exactly what my personal experience was...wanted to call BS on that...but too late...lol..oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kory Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I never noticed in my first twenty years, that my grandmother begins every sentence with "Say,....." After noticing it one day, it has really irritated me since. My younger sister finally quit using "like" five times a sentence, much to my delight. I am immune to "dude" thankfully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogmaDog Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 This probably won't be my last entry here, but it may be the one I hate the most: People who use "then" when they mean "than" "An auto is better then a revolver" AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!

SiG Lady Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 ..or the idiotic insistence on the part of the un-informed when they label semi-automatic pistols as "automatic...!"

Round_Gun_Shooter Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 "An auto is better then a revolver"AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH! DogmaDog People using that sentence show lack of knowledge in more than one way We all know revolvers rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 "An auto is better then a revolver"AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH! DogmaDog People using that sentence show lack of knowledge in more than one way We all know revolvers rule Actually that reminds me of one of my pet peeves. I hate it when someone states their opinion as fact. I notice it a lot in "tactical classes." "This is the best method, period." It may be the best method for you, champ, but it ain't the best method. Someone will come along with a better one. "IPSC will get you killed." "Autos are better than revolvers." "Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane Thomas Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 What I've always hated was the weather forecast, "Partly cloudy, chance of rain." What kind of wimpy, failure to commit weather forecast is that? If it's almost totally overcast but there's a break in the clouds anywhere, they're right. If it's a beautiful day with one wispy cloud somewhere in the bowl of heaven, they're right. If it rains, they're right. If it doesn't rain, they're right. Jesus wept.

MBaneACP Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I've fallen into a whole new world of "television-speak:" • "It's in development..." • "Cut to the chase...the bottom line...(fill in the blank)" • "He's friggin' *talent*; what did you expect?" I hate it all, without regard to race, color, creed or media. CONFESSIONAL: I am one of the people who, in the early 1980s, conspired to shove the word "paradigm" back into the English language. I could tell you the whole sordid story, but suffice to say that I am sorry. Ditto for the word "extreme" in the early 1990s. I am sorry for that, too. I realize I am going to BUZZWORD HELL for my sins. I did it for the money. Put on the handcuffs and take me away, dude... mb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Sweeney Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Forget the handcuffs, tell us what you've been foisting on the public lately, so we can be prepared. And the "moot" vs. "mute" and others I ascribe to the increasing verbalization of society. No one reads any more, we only listen. Thus we have people typing "mute" "there" "walla" and all the other butcheries of the English language. Me, I don't let such things bother me. I simply adjust the "Sweeney Scale-o-Meter" accordingly. "Jesus, this guy just mis-pronounced five words in a row, and invented his own unique gerund. How much faith can I place in his initial statement of 'As everyone knows....'?"

Turtle Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I like and use the expression "Have a nice day!" In my circles, a big smile and "Have a nice day!" means "F*** ***" and nobody can file a complaint with your captain. We were actually banned from saying that at one time, if you can believe it. The Captain new what we meant by it so he tried to put a stop to it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
