OT: Phrases That Should Be Retired
Just thought I would share this. I find it funny that many of the phrases that are used here on McC are in this list. Scroll down about half way to find Brian Sabean and Lar's favorite.
What phrase or saying would you like to go away in twenty-ten, 2010, or whatever we are calling it today ?

Thank you Lars. Saw this and thought it would at least get a response from you. I also like " At the end of the day" . Just proves Sabeans time is up.

I'm not going to let this guy tell me what I can and cannot say.
"Just another ahahahaha... laugher."

NOT A SHEEPLE!!!

Brian Sabean strongly encourages you to disregard the drudgery of your employment responsibilities and join him in the consumption of spirituous libations.
That list is hella lame.
"If anybody deserves credit for this year’s turnaround it’s these two people, Brian and Bruce," Neukom said. "The encouraging thing is we think we’re back to playing baseball the way it ought to be played."
Urban Dictionary
1. hella
Originated from the streets of San Francisco in the Hunters Point neighborhood. It is commonly used in place of “really” or “very” when describing something.

I first saw the word “hella” on liner notes from Metallica’s The $5.98 EP.

Not that I’d dispute the veracity of Urban Dictionary, but I’ve always heard “hella” originated in the East Bay.

Mychael Urban: Wow. Probably Dye at this point. Good outfielder, could adapt to RF at AT&T, good RBI guy.

The first time I heard it was ‘89, after being out of CA for a year, and I heard it on the radio in Sacramento at that time, so as long as it takes for anything new to travel to Sacramento, I placed it’s original coinage usage 1987-1988. And yeah, I assumed it was East Bay as well.

I think hella predates 87.
I’d go back as far as 85…I was in the 5th grade in the East Bay back then.
Q: Did you ever make an offer for Vladimir Guerrero?
Sabean: In a word: No. If we had signed Guerrero or [Gary] Sheffield, we would have been without [Long list of replacement level vets]—obviously not being able to field a competitive team, especially from an experience standpoint, given our level of spending.
Burn!
I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

When someone says “what part of such and such do you not understand?” and they then repeat every word. No longer funny, if it ever was.
No Edgar, it's not your fault, it's the fault of the idiot that plays you

“Epic” and “ridiculous” are overused IMO. When something is truly epic, the magnitude is lost because everyone says everything is epic. THIS SHOE IS EPIC. MY COFFEE IS EPIC. I’m tired of it. Same with ridiculous and its variants.

24-7 is actually preferred by some stylebooks.
I don’t advocate it. I’m just saying.

"I know, right?"
This one drives me crazy. A guy at work uses it.
“I know….right?”
Context
Guy 1, “This is a really close game.”
Annoying Guy, “I know, Right?”

I still think the name Douchey McDoucherson is funny.
Osiris, Lord of the Dead, and... relief pitcher for the San Francisco Giants?
Also, anyone else noticed an increase in people ending their sentences with conjunctions (when speaking)? I do it too, and it sounds weird to me. They’ll say, “I want to go too, so….” or “I want to go too, but…” clearly never having any intention to finish that sentence. I’d like it if people did that less often.

What gets me is “valley” speak where 17 year old blond girls make every sentence a question.
I’m going to the store ? , Those are awesome ? I work at the Gap ? etc. You know who I’m talking about.

My list: (not so much on the McC boards but in general)
Anal, as in you’re so…
Bad, as in My
I also think it’s time to do away with guady stitching on denim, and rhinestones, as well as gargantuan hand bags for the ladies.

But anal is a fun word.
