2 Overused Phrases here on BWW Boards

Posted: 12/8/04 at 11:37pm

OK, these are just two that I've noticed keep popping up. What phrases have you noticed being used......and used and used and used and used.......Here's mine:

"I just spit my (insert favorite beverage here) all over my monitor/keyboard."

and

"That's a slippery slope."

Both are great sayings, just a tad overused here.

Really? I must be reading the wrong threads, then.

"In my opinion"
It's an on-line message board. Of course it's your opinion!

Why do we play with fire? Why do we run our fingers through the flame? Why do we leave our hands on the stove, although we know we're in for some pain? -tick...tick...BOOM!

I just spit my urine all over my monitor/keyboard! In my opinion, that's a slippery slope you're on, NY.

"Noah, someday we'll talk again. But there's things we'll never say. That sorrow deep inside you. It inside me, too. And it never go away. You be okay. You'll learn how to lose things..."

Urine, huh? Matt, I would have thought that your favorite...umm, nevermind.............

Thanks Matt! That was pure entertainment.

You know what's worse than "in my opinion" though? "in my honest opinion." Are your other opinions not honest?

And this is not solely w/message boards, by the way. Just in general conversation. Not usually a necessary phrase.

Why do we play with fire? Why do we run our fingers through the flame? Why do we leave our hands on the stove, although we know we're in for some pain? -tick...tick...BOOM!

The random use of the word "random" must end right here and right now. In my opinion.

"When is Idina leaving Wicked again? ThanXx!!!!!"

"Does anyone know who's replacing Idina in Wicked?????!!!!"

"Are these seats _____ in the Gershwin any good?"

"Does Idina come out of the stage door in between shows?"

"It's not always about you!!!" (But if you think I'm referring to you anyway, then I probably am.)

TypeaTiff you crack me up!!! You are right on the money with the Wicked posts. Right now my block list is really long and most of the Wicked posts have suddenly vanished from the main thread.

Dottie tends to use the word "absolutely" a lot.

"nuff said" is used as some sort of absolute that requires no support or explanation, but in most cases, just comes across as arrogant and immature.

"shill" Who cares? What's with the witch hunt? Let 'em shill away! Shilling this board is not going to influence anyone here out of their personal opinion nor is it going to boost ticket sales to make or break any Broadway show. Screeching about it every time someone says they like a show that the majority dislike doesn't make them a shill, anyway. And once a shill is identified, what happens? Nothing, really. People still keep their own opinions about the show in question and about the member who shills.

None of this is as irritating as those who post crap just to get their rocks off on being mean or cruel. Why don't they just shack up with Bin Laden and have a REALLY great time? I ask you!
