Another couple of phrases thatdrive me nuts are "low-carb" and "carb-concious". No one gave a shit 5 years ago, now people wont eat food if it has carbohydrates (which is horribly unhealthy, btw). Can you beleive they have low card pasta? what is the fucking point? that's like dehydrated water...

this low carb thing has taken off here aswell... most supermarkets now have an isle devoted to all this fuddy-duddy low carb diet stuff. I don't blame the shops, since they'll make a killing on it, it's the shoppers that demand it, after going on these 'new wave' diets.

I thinks the whole atkins thing has turned into this era's light and low fat, it's going nowhere.

of course, in a few years when skinny people are dying of heart attacks because they dont eat bread, but they eat cheese-covered deep fryed bacon 3 meals a day, they may re-evaluate the situation.

I know, it really does sound good, doesnt it?

Especially if it is deep fried in butter.

i still say 'decadant' is worse.

decadant is gorging yourself on food and wine at a roman orgy while having sex with men, women and children all at the same time..

not a chocolate chip cookie.

mmmmm...chocolate chip cookie

Kind of reminds me of my porn surfing days a few years ago.

"Busty Women"

90% of them were chicks with fake c-cups, and the rest were simply pear shaped overweight women.

Anyway.....

a couple of phrases that always bug the shit out of me, because the people who use them dont seem to come close to understanding what they are trying to say:

Same Difference.


Godammit... there is an annoying phrase like that that an ex used to say all the time and it always annoyed the shit out of me....I cant think of it....

i hate : 'blah blah blah .... and whatnot'


as soon as you add 'and whatnot' to your sentance your IQ lowers about 50 points
