Nah, I just felt I should breast feed.

"Previously owned." It's fucking USED. Might as well call vomit "previously digested."

"Pre-recorded." It's recorded. Unless you have something that was done before it was recorded.

Calling vomit "previously digested" reminds me of the bucket in the sewer (bilge) of 12 meter America's Cup yachts. It was for either vomit, piss or shit. They said it was for "used food"

I've never had anal leakage but I have streaked my shorts a time or two.

Sweating like a whore in church.

independent as a hog on ice.

stronger than bulldog jism.

You leave a shit, not take one.

When telling time, saying "it's a quarter of 10" to mean 0945. Da' heck is that? Shouldn't a quarter of ten mean 1015? A quarter to ten makes sense and is completely unambiguous, but a quarter of ten is unclear unless you happen to know that that little linguistic quirk mean 15 minutes 'til.

Just say a quarter to ten or a quarter after ten for chrissakes!

The ever popular 'irregardless'.

my wife is a HUGE grammar nazi, so I've started purposely using popular sayings wrong.

"without further to do"
"a rip on your shoulder"
"beating a red horse"
"take the ice"

she finally caught on. after a week of correcting me and me arguing with her that I was in fact right, and she was wrong.

"50% chance of rain". Heard in Florida constantly and means the weatherman hasn't a clue what the weather will be.

"We will begin the pre-boarding process..." How does one get on a plane before getting on a plane? Thank you George Carlin.

Kind of like partly sunny vs partly cloudy...

"It is what it is"

I threatened to taze anyone who said it.

I could explain 'rule of thumb' but you'd prolly be bored.

No, but it looks like there is a worm just under the epidermis......just saying that is where the name came from.

Wouldn't a quarter of ten be two and a half?

May not be a complete fit here but I'm utterly nonplussed about the now very common use of "historically" as it seems when I was growing up (many decades ago) it was simply "historic."

So every time I hear "historically" I automatically react with a huge "WTF?".

No. no. no. You do not understand the logic.

You are diferencing.

If you have a quarter, that is 25 cents.

If you have a "quarter to ten", the difference is 15.

Fifteen to ten is before ten.

Now if you were subtracting, it would be a quarter from ten, and you would be -15, which is still before ten since it is a negative number, and still 15 to ten.

Now if you were adding, it would be ten and 15 and that would be both 25 whaich is a quarter and therefore a quarted past ten, or fifteen after ten.

And yes, my last name really is Abbott...

Yes, I know that. But, many patients really think there are worms there.
