Totally random thread

Man, so I randomly had to flick a guy off.

I’ve always had a personal policy against it, and don’t like putting negative energy into the universe, but it just sort of happened as a necessarily reaction.

I was going straight through an intersection when a big SUV with plates from you know where tried to turn left and almost hit me. I had to swerve to avoid a collision, and honked to make him aware I was there. He locks them up and just lays on the horn. Now he’s awkwardly stopped across the middle of the intersection. I work to get around him. As I do he’s still blasting the horn and now giving me a death glare, as if *I* am the one doing something wrong.

Motherfucker I have the right of way! This is where you’re supposed to mouth “sorry” and sheepishly wave. Since humility is apparently not an option, here’s a one finger salute. Peace out y’all.

"flick off". The incorrect way to say "flip off", which means to give someone the finger.

Thank you.

He shouldn't have apologized.

My two most annoying and most frequently-encountered malapropisms:

Carmel when one actually means caramel
Calvary when one actually means cavalry

Both make me want to flick someone off when I hear them used.

Ohhh! Feral’s gonna give you the bird for that one!

What I find odd is that the word "too" seems to have disappeared from people's vocabulary. I see "to" instead of "too" all the time.

Another one I am always telling students: then and than are not interchangeable.

I could always pick out an 85 sock. He got it exactly opposite every time.

Yes!

Has moot evolved into that zone where it is correct no matter how one uses it? I get pissy about that . . .

That makes too of us!

Probably. I only get pissy when people pronounce it “mute”.

I didn’t want to do it.

I felt I owed it to them.

Careful before you trigger RMan and reluctant/reticent.

I'm guilty of Carmel. I know its technically "wrong" but I cant stand when people say Ker uh mel.
