Thread Name: BS: How you say the things you say
Subject: RE: BS: How you say the things you say
Sad to say Amos some "day trippers" didn't return from their "Trips" in the 60s and stayed away on permanent vacation..lol...I know a few quite well....and while gentle and kind Spirits they are tad.... dare I say another over used phrase....out there!!!
My annoying expressions (which I am sure there are more of but these two stand out as the biggest culprits and which I have begun to use less and less are)..."Now we're suckin Deisel" or "that's a riot"
I used "the diesel" for Sessions that were flying, projects that were going well and just too damn much really. The Riot got an airing for stories that made me laugh or news items I found to be blatantly off the Truth Path and witha bit of sarcasm when I found soemthing that was said not funny (usually under my breath though...Guilty face:>(.
I am working on not abusing these particular two so much....lol...much to the relief of my buddies and fellow Music makers.
One expression that really rubs me though...is the much used and totally redundant "get a Life will you!" It is used for everything from insult to humor to smart arsed rebuff!
That one has been done to death and should be buried along with Groovy!!

Good thread Azizi, I am interested to see what people come up with....maybe I will pick up a few new catch phrases and how to use them appropriately...shouts of "oh no" from the Gallery...*bg*

Blessings to all
Jude

After Thought: An another word that urks when used in a particular context...'whatever"...it's so Valley Girlish..:>)
