    Jet I was at a buddies place and overheard a conversation between his wife and someone she was talking to on the phone. It was driving me nuts! I had to leave the room.

    Then a friend's daughter who is 19 was telling a story and same thing, like was almost every other word. For this same reason I do not watch many of the reality tv shows out there because it is in the "main stream media". I can not stand it!!!!

    I can't stand it when they put together two peoples names that are an item like Brad and Angelina. The media thinks they are so clever. Brangelina, Bennifer, etc... Or things like A-Rod and K-Rod!

    "Just sayin'" and "I'm just sayin'" No **** you're saying it, you just said it. And why do you need to say that after you said it, because you have no good reason to say it?

    1) from head working your way down to its tail end.
    2) after gutting it by slicing from nave to chops, from the middle working your way to either end.

    why?

    "Can I borrow _____" With the full knowledge that they'll never give it back...

    "Are those real?" I mean if you have to ask, the answer is probably No.
