"Boom". I can't tell if this one is just the assholes at my office but everything is boom now. Want to open a beer without an opener? Hold this other beer like this, twist hard, boom, that's an open beer. Want to reform your government? Get the electoral college abolished, amend the Constitution to replace first past the post with something more progressive, boom, it's called reform and that's how it's done. Hey bitch, how about I kill you, boom, now you're dead!

Like I said I might be wrong about this being a problem but in case I find out later that it was, I've got this post.

"In a world" is annoying, but more than that it's interesting. It's interesting that it caught on not just as a cliche but as something widely recognized as a cliche, and as a symbol of an entire way of making movie trailers, exactly when it suddenly stopped being used in actual movie trailers. Of those four or five guys who narrated every movie trailer from the 80s up until, whatever it was, 2005 maybe, how many have you heard lately? Does even Disney use their guy anymore?

I don't think they really narrate trailers anymore. It's just text now.

Here is the biggest payoff I had while trying to figure out if I was right about 2005. (It seems to be a pretty good estimate.)

"Infamous". You can either be famous, infamous, or not famous. Infamous people are famous for doing bad things, except that's not true, because they're not famous at all, because you can't be famous and infamous at the same time. Everyone knows my name, am I famous or not? More information needed, you could be either famous or infamous.

"Hey Brian, do your Chad Kroger impression." "Well hey everybody, I'm Chad Kroger, lead singer of the famous band Nickelback." "Haha, no man, they're not EVEN famous ... they're infamous." Yes, sweet educated burn you tool. Now don't forget to say that every time you dislike something or else you're tacitly expressing approval.

"As per usual". I don't know if there's a name for the police lingo where cops use common, high-syllable synonyms for words (individual, vehicle) because it sounds smarter without being out of reach for the dumbest among them, but I feel like this is the same phenomenon. I don't think there's a situation where "as per usual" makes sense but "as usual" doesn't, the former just sounds more like something daddy would say.

Big Fagot · (Thu Oct 15, 2015 11:15 am)

Similarly, "last and final". They say that on Caltrain all the time. Somebody heard somebody else say "this is your third and final warning" or something, and liked the cadence but forgot quite how it went, so now they're all "This will be the last and final stop."

Do yourself a favor and make this the last and final time you try to sound smart!!!

Two things: one, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleonasm

Two, I just found out "as per usual" is a perversion of the wider use of "as per" meaning "as prescribed by", as in "as per my instructions". So it's dumb AND wrong!

"Huzzah".

Professor Farnsworth can pull it off but that's because he's not a fat guy in shorts at Comic Con.

Mike Dunn · (Mon Oct 19, 2015 7:05 pm)

Do people really still say "huzzah"? I thought people cut that shit out at the turn of the decade like they did with "epic win".

Ryoko's Biatch · (Mon Oct 19, 2015 10:22 pm)

Probably just neckbeards.

I prefer "Yes-can!"

Big Fagot · (Mon Nov 02, 2015 10:01 am)

"Shits and giggles".

It's been 18 years, everybody.

Since what?

This post might have originally read "I'll bite: since what?" but I didn't want to encourage anyone to add "I'll bite" to the thread.

I looked it up and I guess since Austin Powers?

That's a weird thing to attribute to that movie.

I went to college with a guy whose real name was Austin Powers but I never knew him well enough to allow any sort of inevitable questions to be answered.

"Of ___ fame". "Wil Wheaton, of Star Trek fame". You don't need the last word.

This is an even more unfortunate variant.

The idea that Canadians say "oot" instead of "out". They don't, they say "oat", and it's very funny, but you're saying "oot" and it makes you sound like you've never been outside.

PokemonHentaiMaster · (Fri Nov 27, 2015 2:48 am)

Some people do say oot, but they're exclusively in The Maritimes and Newfoundland.

I can't relate to the hilarious bagged milk joke, because I have never personally witnessed bagged milk. It must be another Eastern Canada thing.
