Annoying co-workers

“*Cough*unionshop!*Cough*”

“Wouldn’t moving more equipment around help warm them up?”

“LOL @ Nigal!

lumber - if they actually worked, then "yes"”

“This doesn't fit with the thread title, but one thing that bugged me on my thruhike was the preponderance of educated, ingelligent hikers who seemed unable to form a sentence without the words "awesome" and "dude".”

“They sure don't sound ingelligent to me.”

“See, you forgot "no how", lol.”

“Dude! That post was awesome!”

“Does a boss count as a co-worker?”

“Probably not because of the lack of work they do. LOL!”

“Dude is not a word.
Dude is an entire language unto itself.”

“Kind of like fuk can be used as every part of the English language? Its a noun, a verb, an adverb, adjective...

Combine dude and fuk and you're all set.”

“dude”

“It's "supposedly"!!! Dude, you're like 45 years old!

like, that really, like annoys me how, like people like do that like all the like time”

“The Vague Like
Translation: Thereabouts.
___________________________________________________________________

“There were like, a thousand screaming fans.”

“Have you been outside? It's like, 100 degrees.”

“That was written like, two hundred years ago.”

"Dude, you're like 45 years old!"

“I had a boss once that would say "I brought" instead of "I bought"...

I must have heard it a thousand *grin* times..."I brought some groceries yesterday."

He was my boss for 7 years and it drove me nuts. Other than that, he was a great boss. I guess some people get stuck on certain words.”

“I live with a couple of teenage girls in teh house and the "like" thing really, like, bugs me too. Like, ya know?”

“"is problems"?

“if you want to get even more technical, it would probably be more correct to say "there is a problem" unless there are multiple problems, and then we would go back to "are problems"”

“How about, I could care less when folks actually mean, I couldn't care less?

I also like Chi-cargo and Hiwahya.”

“i hate that one too, dh”

“OTOH, being Southern I also say:

I'm fixin' to go to the store.

Day, can you finish that today?
I might can, we'll have to see.”

“crash - i'm making fun of their talk, dude

I don't think they've like left middle school, dude.”

“fer shur, dude”

“fuk”

“You guys are being very un-Dude.”

“the "could care less" thing has, like, bugged me forever dude!

I was actually thinkin about that this morning.

Like, wow, dude.


LOL”

“I recall when Broken Lizard was haunting this site and many were criticizing his spelling and sentence structure. What amused me was that many of those condemning him did not spell any better. These were educated people; some were teachers. When I pointed this out, one teacher attempted to wiggle out by stating she was an "art" teacher (and therefore not a real teacher?). It seemed more about popularity than anything else...dude.”

“That's one good thing about being an engineer, we're not supposed to be able to spell or write.”

“One of my co-workers was making me want to rip my hair out and strangle myself, or her, with it this morning! Not b/c of grammar/spelling, just her general personality. LOL! Everything is such a crisis. She really needs a large stash of chill-pills.”

“In the past two months, the word fuk decreased in usage in my house by about 1000 occurences.”

“per day.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!!

Good one chili...”

“*snicker* @ chili

Yea!!!!
Chili is gonna be OK if he can joke about his troubles. :-)”

“I imagine the verb has disappeared as well, lol.”

“i like how the meaning of this thread changes depending on whether "annoying" in the title is either a verb or an adjective”

“That's one good thing about being an engineer, we're not supposed to be able to spell or write.”

Hear! Hear!!!
So true.”

““In the past two months, the word fuk decreased in usage in my house by about 1000 occurences.”

That's OK chili. Ain't much fukin' going on in my house either. LOL!”

“The woman next in the cube next to my wife was moved to another floor. She sounds much like your co-worker. Wife's boss asked if my wife was doing cart wheels! :-)

Perhaps you will be as lucky.”

“A pet peeve of mine along the same line is when someone says that they are going to "Wal-Marts" or "K-Marts." They're not plural words, people!

The supposably thing has always bothered me, too. But the other day when I got my word-of-the day email, lo and behold, it explained that in certain circumstances, supposably really is proper. Here's a copy and paste:

Reply-To: info@yourdictionary.com


Today's Word: Supposably (Adverb)

Pronunciation: [sê-'po-zê-blee]

Definition 1: It can be supposed, in a manner that can be supposed; conceivably.

Usage 1: While in some parts of the U.S. today's word has become acceptable,
most people who use this word should be using "supposedly," which means "it is
supposed" or "in a supposed manner," i.e. is assumed or believed as true without
positive knowledge. This happens when somebody says, "The dinosaurs became
extinct after a giant asteroid supposably struck the earth." The correct term in
this instance, as your English teacher likely told you, is "supposedly," since
the meaning is "it is supposed."

Suggested Usage: It's as if "supposedly" and "probably" had an illicit affair
and created this illegitimate offspring. However, do not be one of those who are
quick to correct someone using this word by saying, "That's not even a word."
The truth is, it is a word, just not the word speakers usually intend when they
use it. "Supposably," like all deverbal adjectives on –able, would mean "can be
supposed" and not "is supposed." Supposably, one could use today’s word in a
sentence like this even though few currently would. However, such a use is
supposable (can be supposed) and the phrase is grammatically healthy.

Etymology: From old French "supposer" from Medieval Latin supponere "to put
under" based on sub- "under" + ponere "to put." Over time, the stem was confused
with "poser" from Latin pausare "to halt, pause, rest," which eventually
replaced it in all Romance languages. The original stem "pon-" may be distantly
related to the root *apo "away," which devolved into "off" and "of" in English,
going back to an unattested form *po-s(i)nere "let, leave." (I suppose we should
extend our real gratitude to Rick Frye of Vashon Island, Washington for bringing
our attention to today's word.)

“Wow Ruby is a smarty! Why you'd think she makes her living with words. LOL!”

“This thread brings back memories of working for my Dad's company sometimes. For some reason, this morning, I remembered the narcoleptic machinist my Dad hired for a while. Now that was a bad choice.”

“listen all you losers!!!

“narcoleptic machinist

isnt that illegal in most states? :-)”

“Farging spelling/grammar nazi”

“i am going to LOSE my virginity to the LOOSE prostitute

I can just hear a class full of Koreans saying this over and over.”

“boy, did i just put up a doozy for the out of context quotes or what?”

““i am going to LOSE my virginity to the LOOSE prostitute

I can just hear a class full of Koreans saying this over and over.”

Or would it be, "I am going to rose my virginity to a roose prostitute."?”

“Whatever you're going to "roose", Nigal, I'm sure it won't be your virginity.”

“No Nimble, he was 'going to rose' something. Whatever that is. LOL”
