Is that some kind of Kentucky slander? Does brewskis and sushi bring female hygiene to mind?

:) No, I just really hate the word "brewski" and I think people who eat sushi with a fork suck.

Edit: Perhaps they don't suck, but you get the point.

I have a buddy whose brother was a Patriot fan, when Teddy Bruschi was playing for them. He referred to him as "Ice Cold Bruschi" Made me want to kick him in the face every time I heard it.

That is exactly the kind of shat I'm talking about. Enough beer and a tough loss on Sunday and I would probably oblige with a throat punch.

-People who use the word "orientate", when the word is orient. When I teach map reading skills, it never fails that I will have someone use that word. There is no such thing as orientating a map. It is called "orienting" a map.

-All of the nascar drivers that show up on the roads in the mornings. They all hit the fast lane and have complete disregard for any basic fundamentals of driving. It is not hard to get over when someone is trying to get on the freeway. It is not hard to only use the fast lane to pass, which has always been my understanding was the law to stay right except to pass. In general you don't have to be a complete prick by tailgating someone, because they are not going 90 miles an hour like you are.

-When you get a drink at the movies or a ball game and it is 90% ice and about 10% of the drink you paid too much for in the first place.

-People who live through their kids. I work with a guy who for the past 3 years has told me how awesome an athlete his kid is. No matter what the sport, his kid is the best there ever was. Your kid is in middle school, so the ink has yet to dry on that 200 million dollar baseball contract and I really don't care about your kid. I seriously doubt your 11 year old pitches in the 90's when he weighs 140 pounds soaking wet. Did I mention he is still 11 years old. Also, every hit he gets either is a homerun or it bounces off the wall in center. The dad is also a close talker which makes it really hard for me to bite my tongue and tell him how I really have not cared for daily updates on how awesome his kid is for the past 3 years.

-People who belong to a religion that views themselves as the only ones who are right.

-Strangers who feel the need to talk to me. I am usually stone faced and I would not talk to me if I was a stranger. I do not understand what about me compels strangers to feel the need to tell me their life story.

-Skateboarding punk kids nowadays. These little pricks have been teasing my dog for a year now, well she shook her collar on her walk a few days ago and chased one of those kids who happened to be riding his bike that day around a grocery store parking lot until she could chase no more from complete exhaustion. But that kid rode for his life and hopefully learned a lesson.

-People who put "In Loving Memory of so and so" stickers on the back window of their car. If I was the one who the sticker was intended for, I would want to see something more than a P.O.S. car representing how you felt about me.

-I also can't stand the stick family stickers or stickers with their kids sports number on them. Again, I don't care about you, your family, or your spoiled kid.

Good list blu. My old neighbor at my old house had an alaskan malemute, kids would get him all worked up. I'd find myself hoping he'd escape and kill one one day.

We should hang out on a park bench somewhere. . .

These drive me crazy:
--Numerous instead a many
--Usage instead of use
--Signage instead of signs
--Any sort of "verbing" or turning a noun into a verb
My wife says "I'm going to broom the kitchen"
My boss likes to "signature" documents and we always have to dialogue about them before he pulls out his pen. I always ask him if he would just like to talk before he signs.

In central PA everyone switches "let" and "leave" "I'm going to "let" my door unlocked so I can "leave" you in."

They also add the words "a while" anytime they mean "now". As in "You want to go a while?" Meaning, "You want to go now?"

I also hate it when my kids use the word "mad" instead of "very." My son even said his friend was mad angry the other day. Really?

Using the word seen instead of saw. Posters on VN do this all the time.

"I seen the other day that Bray has put on 20 lbs."

Women who preach feminism and womens rights, but get pissed off if they have to open a door, or go get their oil changed.

This brings up a good point that I'm curious about...

Has anyone else noticed that it seems some women (not all) want to be on a level playing field with men only when it benefits them?

I notice this more and more as time goes on.

Yeah, that gets on my nerves as well. I open doors for most people as they come in or exit at the same time I do. You open the door for some women and they give you this look that is interpreted as "OMG Perv, you're not f****** me, quit trying," when all you're trying to do is be nice.
