Yeah, that one never should have started.

Re. DH, I always assumed they were knitting stuff for Designated Hitters.

They did for a while. Baseball bat cozies and cleet protectors. But the MLB had to sanction the yarn, everyone said things they didn't mean...

Addressing people as "bitches". Dave Chappelle started it 5 years ago and it won't die.

[Smelodies]

I'm sure Chappelle didn't start that.

[Steve of Bloomington]

'I'm James Brown, bitch!'

Please abolish use of the word "sad" in internet discussions/flame wars... *

for example: "the fact that you believe blah blah blah is truly SAD!" or "the pathetic DJ only had three Abba albums in his bag. Sad," or "the removal of Chester's Cherry Bomb Sundaes from the Chucky Cheese menus is an affront to our freedoms and sad."


* unless you are truly sad.

Also "thoughts and prayers" as some sort of all-purpose get out of jail free/"I've done my share" card when a tragedy strikes should be made illegal.

Moms on Facebook, it's gotta stop. My mom's update from today verbatim: "I did the macarena in an elevator with a pickle because I'm awesome!" Is that a euphemism?

Macarena is a euphemism. I don't know how the pickle figures in.

Macarena is a euphemism. I don't know how the pickle figures in.

Googled "macarena in an elevator" and found the culprit.

It's a chain letter circulating on facebook:

(why yes, I do have some extra free time at work!)

Let's also banish "... VERY ..." from Internet forums.  Do we really need both the word "very" and the caps? 

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

Wasn't it "Rick James, bitch?"  And didn't he actually say it in real life?  But yes, kill that thing.  Unless people (besides me) want to say "I'm Jason Grote, bitch," in which case I heartily endorse it.

It started with "I'm Rich James, bitch" but Chappelle used "bitches" many many times in the shows, soon after which everyone and their mom started apeing it and using it to address any group of people. As a guy, that word really grates, I can only imagine it from a woman's perspective.
