ReachingForTheStars Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I told someone once that I was "literally going to kill him", and, on reflection, felt really bad about saying it.So I killed him. That was funnier to me than it should've been... "literally" This word is overused, and most of the time it is used incorrectly. Example I heard recently: "I'm literally too tired to talk right now". To borrow an excellent word from earlier in this thread, what kind of f*cknugget do you have to be to add literally to most of the things you say when they are not literal at all? No, it's not "literally freezing out" if the temperature is above 32 degrees. You were definitely not "literally going to kill her if she didn't stop hitting on your boyfriend". Rant complete. Hey, it was worse here in MA a few years ago in college - everyone replaced "literally" with "legit". For example, "I was legit going to kill her if she didn't stop hitting on your boyfriend." Yup, chew on that for a moment. 1 Quote Level 3 Human AssassinSTR 6 - DEX 2.25 - STA 4.5 - CON 5.5 - WIS 6 - CHA 6 IntroductionPrevious Battle Log Current Battle LogFirst Challenge Previous Challenge Current ChallengeHoliday Mini-Challenge日本語 PvP What do we say to the god of failure?

.strike Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I've griped about this one before in various places but it's still one that gets under my skin. "Aren't you a bit old to be hitting the gym again? You are just going to hurt yourself. You quit going 15 years ago!" Yeah. Thanks f*cknugget. I'm well aware that I'm 34 and stopped going to the gym when I was like 22. I'm also quite aware these last 6 months haven't been easy - but they are easier now than if I waited until 6 months from now to start. Why the hell does trying to improve health and fitness have an age limit to some people?! Haha! I'm 31 and most of my lifting friends who are the same age as me who have been doing it since their teens tell me their physical strength in their thirties is far greater than it was in their teens and twenties. 1 Quote Link to comment

Guzzi Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Went out for dinner last night for a friends birthday and while we're looking at the menu, there's the inevitable "Are we going to order starters?" conversation. Most of the people there hadn't been to that restaurant before so I offered up some advice. "If you're going to want pudding, don't have a starter. I think the portions in here are massive, and I eat a LOT."At this point everyone at the table turns to look at me, and my friends mum (eyebrows to hairline) goes "Reeeaaallllyyyy?????"I ran through what I normally eat in a day, but I don't think she believed me. 1 Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment

TehSuckij Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Usually it involves asking if I'm on steroids or what type of cycle I'm on. I also get people who frequently ask why I squat so wide, or why I pull sumo. But that's genuine inquisitiveness and I don't mind those at all. Quote Link to comment

I had to be very forceful with a woman at work that was trying to fix me a plate of meat dishes once. She didn't quite get it.It's not about eating meat or not. If you don't eat meat, they'll tell you to eat it. If they see you eating meat, then they will say it is awful, you're eating too much meat. People love to criticize, and they absolutely know what is best for you anytime, they have all the solutions (except for themselves). That woman at work, I'm sure she things she knows what you need. 2 Quote Link to comment
