Which phrase annoys you the most?

Stay safe

 

[_Obra_]

NBD

I just bought a new Axe. It's a Fendy, P-bass and I will probably never Thin the herd and disappoint my GAS.

She has a Fat Punchy Huge Mojo and Cuts through the mix with hers Warm Vintage Tone. This isn't my first rodeo, but She has the biggest Sustain I ever heard. And once again, All anybody ever needs is a P-Bass.

She is with Hi Mass Bridge, Flats and Tort pickguard with original Pups. Neck is real Base Ball bat, Maple and is so Fast, but You know, finally, The Tone is in the Fingers.

Today I will Slap da bass until my fingers turn to Carrots!

So What Say You? Is she good for Metal?

Cheers!

Snowflake.

and this thread is full of ‘em!

 

[cazclocker]

“Plays like butter”
“Tone for days”
“Going forward” instead of “from now on”

 

[iiipopes]

Check, check one two, check....

I can’t believe no one has mentioned, ‘ICE CREAM for days...’ I liked a decade ago but it’s grown a ZZ Top beard and needs to fade away.

(or insert whatever you want) => Done.

 

[slagbass]

But I also hate “reach out.”

That's the one. It sounds warm and fuzzy yet is so unspecific, it's meaningless. As soon as someone uses that phrase, I stop listening.

Did you try the search function?

Since you brought it up, "What Say You" when asking a question. This isn't 17th century England. Just sounds stupid, please speak like a normal person. Also, the several people who manage to work their pet peeve into any thread, regardless of context. There...I feel better now!

HA! That's funny. I sat next to guy that often addressed the customer as "Good Sir" ( who is he, Oliver Twist?) Cracks me up just typing it. He once said "Good Sir" 7 times in one conversation. Nice enough fellow but he was not a very good customer service rep. Guess that's why he was promoted to quality assurance/training.

It looks like I opened a Pandora's box

When people misquote mythological figures. There was only one box that brought doom upon the world. Her other boxes were simply used for storage.

I just came to the phase that I can not more stand phrase like ''Cut through the mix'' etc.

So what's Your most annoying phrase?

Feel free to add Your own nightmares.

"Sits in the mix", too. "Plays like butter" and "minty" (in ads) also make me want to punch a baby.

 

[mrjim123]

My least favorite phrase is "Results are only viewable after voting." I'll not submit to such arm twisting. Go ahead, call me a curmudgeon.

 

[legalbass]

I will never, ever, understand a bass payer who insists on "cutting through the mix."

When I think of the word "cut," I imagine something thin and sharp, not something round and full as good bass tone ought to be.

Piping hot goes back to 1386 when Chaucer described steam shooting out the "pipe" of a teapot.

When one considers the quality which public education used to possess, in this country, and tempers that with the knowledge of the specific geographical area in which he was raised, I imagine that it is entirely possible that Harlan Sanders had a passing knowledge of Chaucer.

Any phrase with the word mask in it annoys me.

Getting the vaccine "into peoples arms". Just say vaccinate, already. We know where it goes.

 

[Sixgunn]

Try our “food” - it’s “delicious”.

Or "world famous" (most often, little hole in the wall restaurants) anything that isn't world famous.

*Someone in response to a video of some dude shredding on bass

"hE hAs No GrOoVe i'Ve BeEn PlAyInG bAsS fOr 35 yEaRs AnD..." lol I mean shut up nobody cares

 

[Troy Eggen]

Or describing something for sale as “mint”, then go on to describe the defects. As in- guitar is mint, just has some buckle rash, a scratch, a missing knob, but it is “mint:

 

[Paulabass]

"That rash looks nasty".
