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.

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

You did what you had to do.

That's that.

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.
