That sour puss would make anyone nauseous.

Who photoshopped Mooch’s maw onto a human body ?

+6

Bad news, Mooch…no shrinkage for you!

+9

I hope Mooch is wearing a manzier under that dress.

+6

Castanza looks especially nauseous near Moochelle’s lady parts.

+5

What sickens George is, that he realizes how manly she is, compared to him.

+8

Are we going to have another Recovery Summer or a Summer of George?

+6

George never learns about the Clams Casino.

+3

No soup for YOU!

+2

Well, “dick” is not a verb.

[Unless you use it the right way. *wink wink*]

+9

Regarding language pet peeves: Many people say “anxious” when they mean “eager”. I would be eager to meet Julia Ormond, but anxious to meet Moochelle.

+5

A lot of people say “I could care less” when they should say “I couldn’t care less” Totally different meanings. Also, SO many people now say “me and so and so” instead of “so and so and me [or I}). I think it is a sign of how self centered so many have become.
Now I’m nauseated!

+7

Using “then” for “than”, saying “actually” every other word.

+5

@ MJA – Y’mean like “Dicking around at work?”

Looking at the picture two often misused words come to mind: Stink and Smell.
To use them properly in a sentence: Mooch smells so badly she doesn’t even know she stinks.

+3

Using “MOOSE” and “BEAUTIFUL” in the same sentence.

Unless you’re talking about Sarah Palin.
Or Bullwinkle.

+6

One of my biggest verbal pet peeves, and I notice a lot of native-born Massachusetts residents do this – including my wife – is putting negatives where they don’t belong. Phrases such as “So didn’t I” when they actually mean “So did I.” It drives me nuts, and I have gotten to the point where I will deliberately interpret what my wife says literally instead of how she means.

+2

cavalry/calvary

nuclear/nucular

pundit/pundint

There..I feel better already.

+4

Parse away, but
1 Language is fluid and controlled by the hoi polloi
2 Half the nation (the majority of the youth) speaks only Ebonics

+4

ANY web-speak!
That sh!t like makes me nauseated, ya know.
LOL, ROFLMAO, teh, u r…etc, etc, etc, ad nauseum

+4

I haven’t checked yet, but I bet somebody got scolded for “Hilter”.

+4

Who gives a shit? The essence of language is to communicate. Most words will do very nicely.

+2

Aidan, Blue ankles rescind my oaglesips? Never abscond you in wertersjund?

+5

Using “I” instead of “me” because they are scared to make a mistake and look like a rube.

“The current Socialist president hates all true American patriots like Derek and I.”

I always learned that if you take away the other persons name and the word “and” then repeat the sentence; it will tell you if you should use the word “I” or “me”.

+6

This time of year, the most mis-pronounced word is “Febuary” (there is supposed to be an “r” in there folks…)…

+4

I cannot STAND it when someone says a word like “taxes” and pronounces it “taxess”, and whistles the “s”.

Or when someone drags out words like “aaaaand”.

+2

The word like is used incorrectly like all the time.

Also, I think plan ahead is redundant.

+3

You wouldn’t like a certain family member if mine Big Fur Hat. This person lies in wait just HOPING you misuse grammar so they can correct you. I LOVE dropping the “Ain’t-Bomb.”

+3

1.) When asked “You know what?” When the person means “Do you want to know?” I always try to answer “No, I don’t know. Why don’t you tell me.”

2.) There vs. Their vs. They’re – so many people get it wrong so often.

3.) You’re vs. Your which I am constantly guilty of this and trying hard to catch it.

4.) Not understanding what literally means. When they mean metaphoically or figuaratively.

+4

Only loosers have pet peeves about wrong words being used in wrong ways.
GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! YOU SUCK! -bfh

+5

Walmarts – As in… I am going to Walmarts. You are only going to one, referring to one so why the “s” at the end. Cause your stupid?

+4

When people say the flag in front of the post office is at half-mast when they really mean half-staff. A mast is on a boat or ship.

And, when anybody calls Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson a “reverend” or “minister”.

+8

How bout finishing a sentence with “just sayin.”
You just did! Just sayin.- bfh

+3

Yesterday, Sean “Specificity” Hannity was blathering about high capacity clips. He wouldn’t let up on it, and was claiming to be a pistol marksman. It’s a common mistake for hand wringing Berkeley moonbats to refer to magazines as clips, but this putz, or someone on his staff, should know better.

And WTF is up with horrendous and horrific?

I just noticed Tar’s observation re literally. Hannity once reported that upon hearing some shocking news that “I had a heart attack, I literally had a heart attack.” Dumb ass.

+3

Oh yeah, and anytime somebody responds to a statement with “I know, right?”

Although that one is as annoying as girls who only do the ducky face pose for any photo they ever take, I am not “that guy” who always points it out.

Oh yeah, and when someone is referred to as “that guy”.

+1

“I’m gonna have to ask you to …”

You can replace all that crap with one word, “please”, but now I assume you are too much of an asshole to be polite.

+3

Irregardless….

+5

Well, irregardless of the displatitudiness of the misuseful words and other idiotic imbecilities of the American language, like, you know, for instance, using ‘apocalypse’ and ‘tragedy’ for catastrophic degeneration and ‘martyr’ which means ‘witness’ not dead person, I try to make it appoint to only attempt to correct the trolls, not the humans or Americans.

But there it is, ad nauseam.

(not ad nauseum – thanks, Jenny!)

+2

@citizenjane…

We have a radio station here which constantly lets us know that the “full complete” weather forecast is coming up next. I don’t even bother contacting them about it because some marketing genius would take it as a sign of success.

+3

Only losers don’t care how poorly they communicate their thoughts to others.
I hate to correct you, but it’s “loosers.” I know this because I see it every day, or is it everyday? – bfh

+4

@A…

“Cause your stupid?”

heh.

+2

#1. irregardless
#2. using word “gender” instead of the word “sex”
#3. “impact” instead of “effect”

+3

The rampant misuse of “allude” when you really mean “refer” would be my current pet peeve. If you’ve just given a 15-minute diatribe on the evils of broccoli and cabbage then directly bring the matter up, you are NOT “alluding” to your hatred of green cruciferous vegetables, you are “referring” to your earlier rant.

+2

How many times have you read a comment that uses the incorrect word ‘loose’ instead of ‘lose’? I mean within the past 30 minutes?

+3

Answering “no problem” when being thanked for doing a task.

It probably was a problem to do it. That’s why I thanked you. Now just say “you’re welcome. Easy-peasy. Oops, did I just commit a communication faux pas?

+4

Definitely a borderline “should be password-protected” photo there, Mr. Hat.

+1

That whole “ebonics” thing.

+3

It’s not so much individual words that are cringe-inducing but hackneyed phrases, especially used by people who should know better — like people who talk for a living.

“Having said that.”
“At the end of the day.”
“All to say.”

Each of these expressions admit that whatever came before could have been said more clearly.

+2

Flammable, non-flammable, inflammable, non-inflammable.

I don’t know the differences, but if it’s on a truck, I stay far, far away.

+5

@Stirrin, yeah, that one really gets me hot under the collar. Its dismissive to the point of implying “Hey, it was no problem for me. Why didn’t you do it yourself? You lazy so & so.”

+2

Affect vs. Effect.

I will admit that sometimes I have to think through the full statement before using either word, to know which one is correct.

Afterall, I want to make sure that my comment will have the proper EFFECT on the listener. Especially if I want to AFFECT a desired change of opinion from said listener.

+2

You just HAD to bump this didn’t you? The very sight of her makes me wanna fukin puke!

+1

Speaking of the English language, here’s Ann :

” what? English actually DOES havea set of these intimate second person (you) pronouns, just like every other language. We just got lazy and stopped using them.

I love thee.

I cannot live withoutthylove.

Thou art everything to me.

Thine kisses art sweet.

Oh my children, I love all of ye.”

+1

“” God always speaks to us in the INTIMATE CASE. And, He lets us address Him in the intimate case, too. Look at the Lord’s Prayer. THY Name. THY Kingdom. THY Will. Do you want to speak to God not as “Abba”, but as you would a judge? Do you want God to speak to you not as His child, or His brother or His spouse, but as a stranger? While He is straining to love you, do you really want to address Him as if He is a total stranger?”

Now start addressing your loved ones with thou and thy!

+1

I hate the use of “irregardless,” instead of the proper “regardless.” Dolts.

+1

“It’s” and “Its.”

Our furry headmaster has trouble with this one!

+1

everybody has typos. Some people do it on purpose; ain’t ya never heard of that ?

Just to stir the pot, BFH:
“While the use of nauseous to mean “affected with nausea” may incur critical displeasure, it should be pointed out in its defense not only that it is quite common among educated speakers but that it is subtly distinct from nauseated in this sense. Nauseated is a passive participle, and hence suggests a condition induced by a specific external cause. By contrast, nauseous is an adjective that refers to an occurrent state whose cause may be nonspecific or unknown. The person to reports that I woke up this morning feeling nauseous might not be willing to accept that he or she had been nauseated by any external agent.”

+2

News readers and “journalist”, who supposedly went to journalism school, beginning a story with “Mr So and so, he…..”.

And let’s not get started on the term assault rifle.

Oh, and politicians who use different dialects and regional colloquialisms depending on their audience.

+2

Pet peave?

When people say “in spite of…” when they mean “despite”.

+2

And just to stop the pot from stirring -

You loose!
ROTFL – U no what I’m sayin? Just sayin.

+2

Oh. I have one.
Everyday versus Every Day

I eat breakfast every day.

I hate an everyday breakfast, like toast and oatmeal.

Everyday – adjective meaning ordinary
Every day – every is the adjective modifying the noun day, which is meant to convey something is done daily.

@Aufklarer – “…Just to stir the pot, BFH….”
@Fur – “…And just to stop the pot from stirring…”

Hey, I resemble those remarks!

+3

“Naaah-a-meaaaan?”

No. No I DON’T, “know what you mean.”

+2

Hey thanks, Bfh. I understand more better now

Regarding my typos. Here’s my litmus test.
(And this is true for anyone.)

If someone shows me something I’ve written, and I couldn’t tell you what was wrong with it, then I’m an idiot.

If I look at it and immediately say, “holy crap, I put in an it’s instead of an its,” then that is the result of having to write 2,000 words a day with no editor, quickly.

I’m definitely vulnerable to homophones.
There/their it’s /its your/you’re

And I’m very vulnerable to our/are which isn’t even technically a homophone, until you consider that nearly everyone says “ares” instead of “ours.”

+2

Re: OURS

“Ares”? Huh. I say “Owers”.
Oh good gravy. I’m so tents that I think I half
to leave this thread alone now.

+2

The most common typo I see is “you” instead of “your”. It’s a result of typing too fast and not proofreading.

I do that a lot (alot?) – guilty as charged.

+1

I use to get a little annoyed when folks used the word “learnt”, as in they Learnt somthing today. So I looked it up. Well suprise suprise! I guess it was a teachable moment for me.

+1

I hate it when people use the word “Obama” with the word “President.”

+4

“Loose” vs. “lose”–”loose” is usually an adjective, “lose” is usually a verb, also used as a noun when there is an extra letter(s).

“Loose lips sink ships.” (But “loose” can be used as a verb, occasionally, as in “loose an arrow” or “loose a boat from its moorings”.)

“Lose the attitude, or I’ll knock your block off.” (But “loser” is a noun, and can be a slang adjective, such as “what a loser comment”.)

Love this stuff.

+1

p.s. “loose” without the “e” IS a noun–i.e., many English toilets. Or Anita’s last name.

+2

I’ve only seen one son of a bitch do it, but:

Corpsman

or

Corpse man

What kind of an idiot would get that one wrong?

+3

A Kenyan idiot.
