It actually used to mean something along the lines of "a bundle (of sticks or anything else)". My memory is quite hazy on the subject but i believe gay people were burned while tied to these faggots (read: a bundle of sticks).Cooklez said:~I don't know if I should say this word or not, but I shall...just to prove a point~
Whenever someone uses the term "fag", it's like the recent comment about the word gay. I guess that's repeating the recent comment, but it was a few pages ago anyway.
I don't like the word because it doesn't even mean gay, it originally meany something else in French, but just like most words in society, people have ruined it...
Do they write "could of"? 'Cause if you simply say "could of" and "could've" aloud they sound very similar, at least to me.CrashBang said:Could of.
Aaaaaaaaaarrrrgh!! Raaaaaaaaaage!!
This pisses me off more than the existence of chavs! How in hell do people think that 'could of' is correct grammar?! It's 'could have' or 'could've'. 'Could of'?! Seriously?!
...Christ, I have some stupid friends
oh god I had a friend who actually tried to argue that the correct phrase was "could care less" sating it was sarcasmPsycho-Toaster said:When people say "I could care less" despite the most basic of logic dictating it should be "couldn't" I feel very inclined to smack them.
EDIT: "Then" when the correct word is "than." You learn this shit before you're five for fuck's sake.
I've never seen "quite" used that way, that's actually really sad that people say that.Matthew94 said:I didn't do nothing!
or when they say quite when they mean quiet.
People say stuff all the time, while it isn't a very original or funny joke, you don't have to be such a dick about it. You work in customer service so you need to make the customers happy, even if that means putting up with lame jokes and puns.Byere said:oh gawd... the things I can pick out...
One of the main things is job related. I work in my local grocery store. Now, for those who don't know, English money notes have multiple ways of being checked to see if they are real. We (the staff) are taught and told to check each note before it goes in the till. My way of doing so involves holding each note quickly up so that light goes through it, revealing the watermark (a semi-invisible picture of the Queen's head) and the metallic strip.
Every couple of customers, there's always some moron who HAS to say something along the lines of "I just made it this morning" or "the ink should be dry by now".
Are these people f*cking stupid?!?!? That's the worst sort of thing to say when someone is checking their money. I have it in mind to just hand them back the money and say "Sorry, I can't accept fake money" and take the items back... and I most likely will on my last day (finally getting out of this crappy job to become a manager at another store)
I have a few friends that say it and say it very clearly "I could of done it" and they also write it in texts and on Facebook etc. It is infuuuuriating!Bomberman4000 said:Do they write "could of"?

Yeah, I'll agree with the condescending bit. I was talked down to not two days ago. I was at my college, wearing a nice suit no less, and this woman comes up and asks me if I was lost, using a voice you would use for a baby. Because I'm in a wheelchair. It was the most pissed off I've been in a very long time.mandaforever said:I hate it when people tell me I'm weird. Uh, no shit..to me "normal" is a euphamism for "boring", and why the HELL would I want to ever live up to "society's standards"? Society sucks! (not all of it but damn)
I'm an artist, and I hate it when people say "artists are a dime a dozen". wow. It's true that any dumbass that picks up a wacom pen or pencil thinks they can draw, but they don't have to ruin it for the rest of us who genuinely want to pursue art as a career.
Anything involving "God or "Jesus". I'm a spiritual person/agnostic, and so your religion just plain creeps me out. No thanks.
Any time people condescend to me, whether it be another artist who is threatened by me for no reason at all, or someone who is more successful than me in a field Im interested in...what are you accomplishing by talking down to me other than pissing me off and making your shoddy self image a little better with falsely putting yourself above me?
oh geez that's terrible. You should have thrown something at her, haha.Oro44 said:Yeah, I'll agree with the condescending bit. I was talked down to not two days ago.
