[Deja Q]

Poll question: What's your least favorite phrase seen on DU?

Which phrase on DU do you hate seeing the most?

[LincolnMcGrath]

1. Hate

[ChiefHappyButt]

2. newbie

being new to posting does not necessarily extend to not knowing anything. I find it slightly offensive. Therefore, I may begin to post like a hyperactive, crank addled freak in order to push past the newbie threshold. How many posts does that take?

I live in a group type home. One could call it a commune, if one wanted.
GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT!!!!!!!

Sorry, it's the hyperactivity.

[Cooley Hurd]

3. spoken just like a newbie...

tsk tsk...
;)

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[ChiefHappyButt]

6. Thanks!

Did I mention I'm eating a grilled cheese sammich? Love them grilled cheese sammiches!!!!!!!!!!!! (I may even have another)

[Kamika]

4. I don't think I ever seen "newbie"

you have experience of that here on DU ?

[LincolnMcGrath]

5. Back in the good old

days all you had to do was post lots of sex threads to run your count up.

IE: "I`m a hot young bisexual college freshmen, ask me about my sex life"

Alas, they are no more!

[LincolnMcGrath]

7. Welcome to DU ChiefHappyButt

A little ADHD is a good thing!

[Cooley Hurd]

8. "Blah blah blah... ask me anything!"

The "...ask me anything" thing is way overused. So is "meme." Time for new ones, folks...

[ChiefHappyButt]

14. What's a "meme"

????

[Cooley Hurd]

17. a "meme" is a talking point stated ad nauseum...

...like "Dean's sealed records," or "Kerry's a Skull & Bonesman," etc...

[DS1]

15. "nyah nyah nyah... ask me anything!"

see, that's the required slight variation of what you just posted, fuckin hilarious isn't it! Oh man, I slay me!

Or or or, wait, wah wah wah... ask me anything!

Oh dear, I've gone and wet myself from laughing too hard!

Ha ha!

[Nailzberg]

20. I completely agree....Ask me anything!

On second thought, don't ask me anything. If I can't come up with something to say, I should leave people alone.

[blondeatlast]

25. Agreed on both counts. Meme is the worst.

[SOteric]

9. "Skinner: I demand to know why my head was deleted!"

Sincerely, Marie Antoinette.

[blondeatlast]

26. HAH! Ask the Admins can be a real hoot sometimes. I love to look back

at the offending posts and see the violation just as clear as day.

[Birthmark]

10. A single word: "Sheeple"

[regularguy]

30. A horrible, de-humaizing term, used by elitists.

.

[rumguy]

32. I don't like sheeple either

it's to vauge and incoherent, and dehumanizing as well...

[Piperay]

37. I hate that one too

it is such a put-down of everyone but the "elite". :argh:

[DS1]

11. Disgusting is disgustingly overused

Really, it's time for a new word.

[DrWeird]

12. "personal attack"

Damn, ya bitches, grow a fucking spine.

[RoeBear]

13. I was already to vote for...

...'pantload' but I didn't see that as a choice.

[Robb]

16. "Message Deleted"

Not, you know, that I have any idea what that's like. Or anything. :D

[Rowdyboy]

18. "Sheeple"

Its elitist and undemocratic, an insult to the personal dignity of others. Those who feel they are innately superior need setting straight.

Also. "nuff said!" Who says? What if I don't think it's "nuff said"? Who are you to determine when there has been "nuff said"? Can you even speak proper English you illiterate ass, it's e-n-o-u-g-h unless you're a pre-teenage girl who still dots her "i's" with circles.

End of rant.

[blondeatlast]

36. Oops, sorry. Duly noted.

[CanuckAmok]

19. "Something something YAK something something"

sorry.

[KG]

21. 'only clark can beat bush'

:wtf:

[OldSoldier]

22. "Ask Me Anything"

Okay, it was funny once.

[mouse7]

23. "(Your Name Here) Can't Win"

It's gone way overboard. We need to be promoting Dems, not handing Karl Rove ammo.

[wickerwoman]

24. "This is my last post."

You know it isn't so take some deep breaths and grow up.

[gator_in_Ontario]

27. "goodbye cruel DU"

sad thing is...the attention seekers usually get more attention than they would ever merit in the real world.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

39. Gosh I've heard that before

[Loonman]

28. "I need a Karmic Hug"

Jesus wept, what a lame-ass expression.

[Zuni]

34. karmic hug

that one is one thread title i will always ignore.

[CO Liberal]

29. One I Refuse to Use - "President Bush"

I still will not refer to Pretzelboy that way.

[pdx_prog]

31. I don't know, but....

I get damn tired of everyone spelling "MORON" incorrectly.....

It is spelled with an O instead of an A!

Good or bad, right or wrong, doesn't really matter...:)

[BringEmOn]

41. Get a brain! Morans

[Zuni]

33. sheeple

or, another one (a phrase)----But he really speaks the TRUTH, a phrase used to describe various writers (most often Chomsky, but also real wingnuts like Parenti) and then their critics are accused of not being able to handle said truth.(If one critizes the infallibe Noam they are accused of everything from being a PNAC plant to being a mental patient in total denial, which strikes me as a lack of ability to think for yourself on the part of the accuser/chomsky devotee) It sounds totalitarian to me when someone says that 'my man speaks the TRUTH' (always capitalized to point out they trust implicitly what this author might say, no matter how off base)

Also, the acronyms BFEE and PNAC are way overused and used to emotionalize some of the most inane conspiracy theories.

[markses]

35. "And so it begins"

The most overused melodramatic crapola one could type!

[bicentennial_baby]

38. Meme

[Breezy du Nord]

43. What does that mean anyway?

:shrug:

[INTELBYTES]

40. Any post that refers to cats or kittens!

(Unless they are being used in the context of bait.)

[Mz Pip]

42. NBD

Nobody but Dean.

Sorry, but the thought of 4 more years of Bush makes my skin crawl and the thought that someone would flush their vote because Dean isn't the candidate does not foster favorable feelings in me.

MzPip
:dem:

[maxanne]

44. meme

:puke:

[PassingFair]

45. Nuff said...

I really hate that "nuff said" attitude.

[short bus president]

46. "Kitty did the cutest thing!"

"My cat ate (substance n) - what should I do?"

"Kitty thread!"

"Cat's rock!"

"My cat rocks!"

"Cat's are cool."

"I love cats."

"Why can't people be more like cats?"

"I wuv kitties!"

"I'm leaving DU."
