Lard Bazaar 3,687 Posted October 25, 2015 Someone might have already said this, but whatever - I CANNOT STAND this new trend of saying 'reach out' instead of 'contact'. For instance, I have just read a story on ITV news.com about Grant Mitchell going back in Eastenders, and apparently 'ITV.com has reached out to the BBC for a comment'. NO THEY FUCKING HAVEN'T, THEY RANG UP THEIR FUCKING PRESS OFFICE AND NOBODY WAS IN. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,933 Posted October 25, 2015 On the subject of inane terms I'm sick of deaths being referred to as losses. You've lost your grandpa if you've left him behind in the park after his Wednesday morning and he's rolled off somewhere else, if on the other hand your Grandpa has stopped breath he's dead - DEAD not fucking lost - you know exactly where he bloody is.

The Mad Hatter 1,091 Posted October 25, 2015 I hate the sear amount of minion merchandise. People often refer to frozen or gangam style being overexposed but they obviously don't look at minions. Minion shampoo, minion socks,minion phone covers soon we'll be seeing minion brand comdoms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NO THEY FUCKING HAVEN'T, THEY RANG UP THEIR FUCKING PRESS OFFICE AND NOBODY WAS IN. I couldn't agree more. In fact I think I've had a recent rant about that myself somewhere on these pages. It's another of those emotional Americanisms. See below. On the subject of inane terms I'm sick of deaths being referred to as losses.

I confess I don't mind 'lose' and 'loss' so much, because 'to lose' can mean to be deprived of something. The one I don't like is 'passed'. Especially when it's used alone, without the traditional 'away' or 'on'. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry if it's been mentioned before but the one that gets me is the proliferation of "proms" instead of school dances, or indeed in my day school disco. (Maybe we should take this to the language thread again ha ha!). I can understand the derivation, but I personally dislike the terminology. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always thought a prom was short for promenade, like a stroll along the seafront. Mind you, we never even had school discos in my day.

The Mad Hatter 1,091 Posted November 14, 2015 I hate it when I go into the comments on a YouTube and see shit like "ohhh this video has adds disliked". Why do some people get so pissy about adds on a YouTube video if you don't like adds just wait 5 seconds until you can skip. How do they think the YouTuber is going to make money from the videos?
