Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do. - Page 406 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

When people talk about their favorite sports team and say WE when they are talking positives but use THEY when talking negative.

'Ya we beat the patriots last weekend'

'Ya they lost to the steelers the weekend before'

I say we when referring to usa#1 and I dare you to criticize me for it you slimey soab

'We' is a simpler way to specify which team. I usually say 'we' on the internet, but rarely off of it.

Or they park it on the side and then take up the other half of the aisle while looking at the shelves.

Thread needs a new title.

"Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do...and stuff that should piss you off and does."

Just thinking about the last time that happened pissed me off.

When I go to an expensive concert and the band spends time encouraging/goading/demanding the crowd to cheer more.

We didn't pay to cheer at your whim ****ers, so play your little songs we paid to hear and the deserved amount of applause will come.

You cannot seriously be saying that we must always refer to the official name of a country, as in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea instead of DPRK or North Korea. If not, well trolled.

I had an anthropology teacher who would dock you points if you called it anything other than the United States of America.

Point taken. But there are some inaccuracies that are so entrenched that opposing them amounts to pedantry. We also know Native Americans aren't from India. I actually have a problem with that one because it does create ambiguities sometimes. But when people say "down, down, America," they aren't expressing a beef with citizens of Nicaragua.
