"Please S T O P saying this" thread.

I have not heard that one. Can you put it in context?

A common term people have been using to describe a period of time is….
“It has been a minute.”

Hey Joe, when was the last time you went to a drive in movie?

Well, it has been a minute.
No sir, it has been a lot longer than that.

Used to hear the term 'group' in the military quite often for time....a group of time or I've been here for a group. IE, long time.
 
Is this like those who will say “You know” after every 2nd sentence if there is a complete one? “You know, like here I am, you know, trying to open the door on a porta potty at the car show, you know, I’m yanking on the door, you know, and I open the door, and there’s this lady sitting on the shitter, you know. Well umm, she didn’t get pissed (pun here)…she just pulled the door back really fast, you know?”

I use this cuz well, I DID this at a car show two years ago with a couple buds there to witness. All I wanted to do was create some distance ASAP before she exited. Those ******** NEVER let me forget it. Every show or meet since when we walk near the line of porta pissers, they tell me “Hey Ron, I think there’s a fat lady sitting in there, you gotta take a piss?”
 
That must be regional too. I haven't heard that one either.

Why would you call when time is normally displayed right on the phone...usually from a source linked to a known standard time server?
 
Back in HS I started using the term "brief stretch of reality" to reference time spent.
 
You pointed it out before and you were right....
My errors always seem to be when I post from my phone! The "N" somehow doesn't come through on some words and the screen is so small, I make those dumb errors!

It doesn't matter and it's not dumb. Stuff happens.

It may have been covered but here goes...
Hey Mike....I'm going to get a burger. Do you want one?
No, I'm good.
You're good? Good at what? Starving? What does your level of competence have to do with the burger?
No, you are not "good". There are numerous proper answers to decline an offer but being "good" isn't one of them.
"Good" is an adjective.
No thanks, I'm not hungry/just ate/am too fat already....
 
"100%"....everything is 100% QUIT IT! It was "my bad" that used to kill me. What did that mean?
 
Speaking of 100%, there is the got it reply - 110%. Agree with you 110%. Lol, okay what scale you working from? Then there's the gorgeous gal who is a 10; but someone says she's an 11..

I remember watching the space shuttle launches, listening to the crew saying "main engines throttle up at 104%".
 
The one that gets me these days is "I know, right?" I heard a girl that works at starbucks say this a dozen times in the space of a few minutes while I was waiting to order, I frickin' HATE IT!!! Just so you know, the starbucks was not for me, but my wife. The only coffee I drink is the folgers that I make at home. I say the "I know, right?" thing once in a while, but only mockingly.
 
Yeah.....THAT one is annoying.
Who has watched "Roadworthy Rescues" or "Vice Grip Garage" ? The bearded twat on that show uses some stupid terminology on his shows. Spark plug wires are "spark-o-laters" ??
Another weird one I heard years ago....whippin shitties.
What the hell ? Shitties are what some people call donuts or power slides ???

In Wisconsin, "shitties" are done in the snow.
"Cheerios" are like donuts, but done in snow, there is no smoke and they usually go a lot faster. Cheerios have the front end of the car mostly planted in place.
"shitties" are done while the car is in motion. Usually an open parking lot. Once to speed, sometimes upwards of 35mph, crank wheel, brake, floor it, in that order. Care goes into full spins while still traveling in the line you originally were moving in.
Bonus points if you can reverse it once momentum slows and stop facing opposite direction, so you are in place to begin the next run.

The most impressive cheerios I have done were in an '83 Caprice wagon, with a pal in the rear facing back seat. A minor incline completely planted the front wheel, allowing for a reasonably high speed ring from the 23 foot long car with my pal in the way back screaming.

The most impressive shittie I have seen, was a buddies 77 Thunderbird. That car is huge. That car made a freeking 30 foot high cloud of snow as it spun around 4 times, then backwards half a spin while travelling across a fleet farm parking lot. Probably traveled close to 100 yards while spinning in a circle in 5" of snow on top of ice. Also good cheerios, but not quite as good as the wagon.
A dumass in my highschool class attempted a shittie in his 85 chevy shortbox and hit the light post in the center of the lot. He was not caught, but he heard about it the rest of the winter from most of my classmates. Nice fat caved in dent behind the passenger rear wheel, welded tail gate closed to keep it closed.

Modern cars are really, really bad at both of these things. Front wheel drives are automatic disqualified, and a lot of the rwd have too much nanny stuff to really get them going. You can sort of get some of the trucks to do it yet, but they are pretty weaksauce, people are too chicken because they ride too high and cost too much lol. Nothing does stupid snow tricks like a 4000lb RWD car thats 20 feet long with an 1100lb engine up front, especially when it is a rusty beater driven by farm boys.
 
I understand the action, it is the terminology that sounds completely stupid to me. I don't find tossing a car around to be "shitty". I really enjoy it.
I used to call it "getting sideways" before the term drifting caught on.
A general theme for me is that I often see phrases and terms in the literal sense.
Don't say "How are you?" unless you really want my answer.
When you tell me that you need to take a piss, my first thought is Why would you want someone else's piss?
"This tastes like ****"....How do you know that for sure?

It must be because I am wired to look for what I find funny, absurd, silly and entertaining.
