“life isn’t fair”
It may be true, but it’s not your job to make sure it’s true.
sir. – AGREEEEEEEED!!!!!!!!
“its greek to me”
‘you have to know’
‘im not being funny’
“let me ask you something”
‘are you serious?’ – No, i was just talking rubbish for the past ten minutes. And if was trying to fool you, i’ll tell you now cos you asked so nicely.
Next time you talk to a teenage girl, pay attention to the amount of times she says “so.”
It’s funny- until someone points it out, you don’t notice it, but most teen girls start every other sentence off with that word. It’s strange!
“Alas poor Yorick, I knew him well.”
It’s just SUCH a misquote!
@cozimjewish – Yeah, the “that’s so random” stuff is pretty commonplace, but I often wonder if people from 100 to even 30 years ago would be able to understand what we’re saying. 😀
Dictionary definition of random: “without definite aim, direction, rule, or method” So tell me, how does “I don’t know who she got engaged to; some random guy” make sense? (Answer: it doesn’t. I just say it 😉 )
“Alas poor Yorick” what century are these people living in, exactly? That sounds like Shakespeare

Good guess! What a shame you had to guess and didn’t have an education that exposed you to great literature. It’s from Hamlet. The quote is “Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio.”
Aside from not hearing the name “Yorick” that often (at least, not in the U.S. or Israel), what makes it sound like Shakespeare?
haifagirl: How do you propose a fellow who never read Shakespeare will have a less fulfilling life than had he read Shakespeare?
“I’m sure…”
Invariably means, “I have no idea if…”
“I can’t stand when people say…”
You must have a hard life.
“I know, right”
“let’s agree to disagree”
“this article doesn’t represent the views of whichever publication is printing it”
“That’s life”
“Get over it”
“Don’t be scared/nervous/sad/etc.”
“Be positive”
Basically, anything that tells you to easily overcome your emotions.
I hate when people call the term for something a misnomer and replace it with something ridiculous. Or when they replace a valid name or word with another one.
“shes gorgeous!!” there was once an american machetainister at her sons tenoyim, in London, and thats ALL she heard! she afterwards asked me “i know that my sons kallah is pretty but is that the only good thing ppl could say about her?” …..
That was when i explained that in London we use gorgeous as an overall phrase, as in “shes so gorgeous, shes sweet nature, kind, friendly, cute….”
“My Bad!” instead of “I was wrong” or “It’s my fault”
;
When someone says “Literally…”, and then continues with a metaphor
Putting “but” after instead of before the phrase it applies to,
e.g., “I went to the store, they didn’t have any eggs but.”
Using “crop” as though it meant altering an image,
e.g., “Stand 2 feet apart, and we’ll crop her in.”
Saying that anything is “beast.”
