The world is so full of shit utterances that it pays to be aware of how to avoid being part of the complete dross. Notice the word 'so' in the previous sentence; it is serving a useful function, to emphasise just how full of shit our world is. It is not being used gratuitously by idiots who think it is smart to start any/every sentence with a "So" to somehow 'set the scene', and prove pomposity is entrenched in the speaker's mind. The pretentious use of "so" is a fucking cunting disgrace.
"I will smack the next person who misuses the word around the head with a giant swede. So, if anyone about to take me up on the offer with a stupid comment beginning with the offending word?"
This is an appropriate use of "so". I was preceded with some information which has a direct bearing upon the second piece of information.
Elsewhere in the shitty world of dialogue is the incessant bollocks dished out by weather forecasters, or perhaps more accurately, weather presenters, as no cunt tends these days to forecast anything - that's left to professionals. Hence, we are forced to suffer a 'filter' between the work of legitimate forecasters, and the dumb presenters who relay the information in inappropriate ways. These include reference to "cold temperatures, warm temperatures and freezing temperatures," as if a temperature (numeric value on a set scale) can have any degree of inherent warmth - or lack of it. Twats.
This week I hear a cunt say, "temperatures would be trickling down" as if a temperature is a splattering of piss on a window!
In a similar vein, we have the non-stop references to cheap prices. Again, a price is a number linked to a scale in a specific currency. The goods may be expensive or cheap, but prices are high or low, as with temperatures.
What else is fucking with my head? The cunting continuous [perhaps cuntinuous might be sanctioned by the OED if I make an application] use of "sort of" and "kind of" as a qualifier to just about anything at all leaving the mouths of people with insufficient authority to speak a fucking word. The are generally people who also think nothing of splattering sentences with the word "like" at will.
Then we have the language fashion victims who love to latch on to certain words, and ram them into my fucking ears with glee and no awareness that they are cunts. "Uber this" and "uber that" as a way of accentuating or emphasising is NOT acceptable. People use this term thinking it's acceptable when it is not. Notice I used the word "use" rather than "utilised the word "utilise" in the previous sentence. That's because there is so very rarely any need for "utilise" unless there's a desire on the part of the speaker to be pretentious.
Email is pronounced with an emphasis on the initial letter/syllable, and the sound that needs to be made is exactly the same as the letter 'E' that it relates to - short for 'electronic'. In the same way, the term E-commerce has forced its way into the language. These are at complete odds with the word Ebola and any pronunciation of it! It is NOT fucking E-bola [as in 'tombola' but with a letter 'E' as the first syllable]. The river, after which the disease is named, is pronounced with an unstressed (unlike me!) initial letter, and it is not an abbreviation of 'electronic'. Should any twat ever invent a lucky dip mechanism that is computerised, then maybe E-bola could be a term used to describe such a facility.
There are four seasons; Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. 'Fall' replaces 'Autumn for Americans, which we all understand. There is no season that exists which might qualify as "festive". The term "Festive Season" is fucking horrible and wholly inappropriate. "Seasons Greetings" is a useless term, and in effect means Happy Winter, Happy Spring, Happy Summer or Happy Autumn depending on when one twat says it to another. The final misuse of the term 'Season' relates to television programmes, which arrive with us in a collective format known as series. They most definitely do NOT deserve to be collectively described as forming part of a "Season". This bollocks is perpetuated by twats in charge who have decided that whatever happens in the USA must be okay and consequently become the norm in the UK.
