Haha, yeah!
With Theldorrin dead I'm sure that's the last time that reference will ever be made so I'm savoring it. |

Boring, average men, who have never known a moment of philosophical or existential disquiet, referring to their boring, average wives as "my partner in crime."
More like, your partner in being a forgotten skull soon! |

But only when they use it wrong. And every nerd/tech blog gets it wrong EVERY time. The holy grail of something is not the BEST something. It's something that's very unobtainable or impossible to achieve or get. If it's something going for sale on Amazon it's not a holy grail.
EVEN WORSE, when doing research for this (really) it turns out makeup bloggers misuse this ALL THE TME.

Uh huh, "when doing research."
Translation: "when doing my normal, everyday rounds."

I use twitter to gauge the zeitgeist or global consciousness. That's when I saw a lot of makeup tweets with that term in it. It offended me. |

Capitalizing "Black", as in "Police officers are not always super nice to Black people". Also "White".
Most race terms are total failures. Israel, Russia and India are all in Asia, yet you can't call those people "Asian", because they're not yellow. But don't fucking ever say "yellow"!!! And certainly for god's sake don't say "oriental" because that's a gigantic problem for some reason. And speaking of Indian, what race are Pakistani and Bangladeshi people? Can you call them "brown"? When somebody says "I'm brown", is that like saying "I'm white", or is it more like "I'm a dyke"?
Also, you have two seconds to address a crowd of 100 red guys whose ancestors lived in North America before 1607 and tell them what race they belong to without pissing off any of them, go. |

Baby steps.
As in, "I told myself I'd clean the house today. So far I've brushed my fingertips across the thick layer of dust on the nightstand next to my bed, where I've been curled up in a fetal position sobbing for the last 12 hours, so, you know, baby steps."
Those wack memes about depression and lethargy that I just did my best impression of are also annoying, but I suppose they're not quite expressions. |

I think my prediction about last decade being "the two thousands" is mostly coming true, with a little more support for "aughts" than I predicted, but meanwhile in the UK "noughties" is really happening for real. A Telegraph article named Ja Rule as a "Noughties rapper" and didn't feel the need to define it! I almost googled whether that was a group he was in.
The British are among the drollest of bunches. |

Also, "defenestrate".
And as long as I'm doing normie smart guy words, "inebriated", "imbibe" and "beverage", at least in THAT context, you know the one I mean. |

How could you hate "defenestrate"? I thought that was on our list of grate words (alongside "grate"). |

I'm not normally bothered by stuff like ths, but holy shit do I hate when people use the word "optics" as a synonym for look/appearance.
"Hmm, let's not set up here, I don't like the optics of this room"
Oh, really? That table slightly out of place is messing up your ooooooooptics? Fuck you! |
