The term makes absolutely zero sense. You don't understand getting 2 possessions vs the other teams 1 possession? Or maybe it's just how most teams are doing it doesnt make sense?

Die Hard Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 6 minutes ago, TK said: The phrase “for real, for real” is one of the stupidest things I’ve heard people use. So much that when the gf uses it, I respond with “for fake, for fake”. 💯 The way some people use it makes me believe it’s a nervous tick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe it's just how most teams are doing it doesnt make sense? Yes I get the idea, but the phrase is not "2 vs 1" it is "2 for 1". It's just the wording of "2 for 1" that grinds my gears. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PleaseBlitz Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 23 minutes ago, Spaceman Spiff said: I used to know what this word meant and I don't anymore but that's okay cause **** this word. I'm sure @PleaseBlitz can give a good definition of it, but I absolutely, positively cannot stand the word tort. And I saw it earlier, it made me twitch, hence why I started this thread because I was curious as to what sets you guys off. No, I'm with you. Torts is a nonsense word. It's one of those leftovers from English common law that used a bunch of words from the middle ages (without the benefit of sounding fancy like latin words). The definition is "a civil wrong," basically, when you do something to someone that isn't criminal, but you may end up owing them money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight Judges Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Precondition - this word makes no sense. A precondition is just a condition. There is no difference. Irregardless - similarly nonsensical as the word above, except people actually realize it "baby" but used in the newish, probably grammatically correct but still annoying way. As in "Is baby awake?" "Is baby hungry?" "are you bringing baby?" ugh. Edited January 23 by Midnight Judges 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Orientate. No, the word is orient. No need for the extra letters to say the same thing. 1 hour ago, Destino said: I don’t hate any words, but I hate certain uses of words. Describing any part of a human being as “juicy” for example. Another is when someone’s skin is described as “creamy.” Bleh! Words I associate with food creep me the hell out when use to describe people. One more, “nourish” when used in a business context involving leadership. Revolting. Edited January 23 by China 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busch1724 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Narrative... There are certain words that become trendy to use every once in a while. They come across as terminology that make people think they know what they are talking about. Narrative, from my own casual observation, was a word used by conspiracy theorists around the rise of Trump to start a conversation about headlines and stories they didn't like and thought the media was trying to set. Kind of like they just realized through their own expertise, that narrative was some SAT word that made them look smarter than what they are. Soon others started using it in similar situations and now is also over discussions about everything like sports. I hear the word, I cringe and can't wait for the fad of the use of the word narrative to pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
