What's up with all this pre-(verb) bullshit lately? ARGH!!

[Rabrrrrrr]

:argh:

:grr:

The "pre-wrapped sausage" thread got my ire up.

Everything exists in a state of being pre-wrapped, until it is actually wrapped.

Technically, one could even say that I, Rabrrrrrr, am pre-wrapped. Though I will probably never be wrapped, so that designation is likely in a bit of logical error.

And then there's pre-boarding, pre-paid, pre-shrunk, and on and on.

List your pre- findings that are utter bullshit. I need more fuel to feed the fire of my rage!

1. Argh!!

3. Yeah, pre-wrapped is pretty.....

:grr: I agree.

Also, the fact that irregardless is now actually defined to mean the same thing as regardless, solely because people used it incorrectly SO MANY DAMN TIMES!

4. Are you George Carlin?

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. Sometimes!

[ghostsofgiants]

7. Awesome

Love your work.

6. I think you are just using a pre-emptive argument....

And I think you are pre-judging the outcome.

And now, I will pre-pare my pre-buttal.

Here it is....

[Ron Mexico]

11. Actually, I intend on borrowing this one,

because it's hilarious, but I will credit you when applicable :)

[miss_kitty]

16. Thankyou! thankyou!

I'll be here all week

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. miss_kitty was pre-buried on August 5!

[miss_kitty]

15. actually,

I'm in the pre-ash scattering state. :7

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. And I am pre-mourning

:cry:

[miss_kitty]

22. Well that is pre-sweet of you!

:hide:

[Zomby Woof]

9. All hail the DU Patron Saint of Rants!

In fine form. (This post was pre-written).

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. And I found it pre-read!

Sure saved time.

[Wapsie B]

10. It's all an evil conspiracy

to drive the English majors crazy.

:hide:

[Heidi]

14. That'd be a short drive, I'd wager. (nt)

[Wapsie B]

17. That it would.

:rofl:

[asthmaticeog]

19. "pre-approved" is the worst offender. n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. Yep, that's a bad one!

"You've been pre-approved, assuming you get approval"

21. It's it my prerogative to come up with any word I want?

Of course I'm not sure what a rogative is that would require something to be 'before a rogative'. I'm going to pretend I know, but that would presume I would tend something before I actually tended it, or sumed something before I sumed it. I need a drink.

23. Pre-boarding

Let's see...you're either getting on the airplane, or you're not.
Maybe it's like my grandpa used to say when he and granny were 'preparing' to go somewhere.

Granny: "Marvin? Are you getting ready?"
Grandpa: "Not yet wifey (I swear, he called her that.), but I'm getting ready to get ready."

I have no idea.
:shrug:

24. Well, you seem rather tightly-wrapped to me...

:evilgrin:
