Most overused word or phrase on TB?

[drlndrve]

The word "minty"! I mean, I guess there's a huge contingent of people who buy $1800 basses--the bass is then "played for less than one hour in a smoke free home", then are sold for $1475--"firm". Bump

If I misuse the word "karma", will it come back to bite me?

Back on topic, the word I am most tired of reading / hearing in any discussion of music equipment or production is "warm". I know it's hard to describe sound quality using words, but can't we do better than "warm"? Like, at least make some attempt to describe what it means in objective, physical terms: less treble, more harmonic overtones, etc.

"please advise"

kvlt - stupidest word and spelling ever imo. I've asked a number of people, from 20-50 and not a one had a clue what it means.

"Before the bell"
"tons of tone"

That's so not kvlt.

 

[Groove Doctor]

Well, it definitely isn't 'sorry'.

:shifty:

Not a lot of repentance around these here parts.

trendspeak for "cult" I believe.

First one that comes to mind is bump. Second one that comes to mind is "karma". Sure are alot of Hindus and Buddhists around here!
What other words are too overused around here?

There are no words or phrases overused on talkbass. Ever.

Just wanted to bump this thread, karma would get me back if I didn't. On a side note, I was looking for a warm sounding bass because I have a case of GAS, and I found a minty Jazz Bass with a tort pickguard on craigslist. Don't hate, but I had a gut feeling it would be the best bass for metal if I put on some flatwounds on it.

You just won the internet.

Lately I find myself posting "I apologize..." a lot. Either I'm growing a conscience or I post too many things that someone gets butthurt over.

+1

But, IMO, you forgot to greet your 'fellow TBers' and haven't told us whether it's sunburst or anything about the pups.

My 2 cents. YMMV, of course.

Something something OP.

I have a strange feeling I may have to start a "I apologize" thread in the morning...

I'm getting tired of people who say along the lines of "If the companies listened to you guys, they'd go broke!" Especially when it comes from people who talk about their own opinions on gear all the time.

Mids.

It would be the end of you, I'm very territorial.
