Whut? I thought "boys drool" meant they lack intelligence or something along those lines. Like they sit there drooling because they don't know what's going on around them or maybe like dogs.

2014. The year everyone suddenly found gluten intolerable. Later, they all dumped ice buckets over their heads.
One of my best friends has celiac (which, of course, means that she genuinely must eat gluten-free food). She's torn about the gluten-free craze. On the one hand, it means that she suddenly has a much larger selection of things she can eat in the grocery store and in restaurants. On the other hand, it drives her insane because she definitely would not be going gluten-free if she didn't have to do it, and she gets aggravated by people doing the gluten-free thing just because it's the latest trend.
I have too many friends who adopt a new food trend at least once a year. I've almost given up on dinner parties -- it's too difficult to cook something these days that everyone will eat.
Yay, a chance to vent!
Ugh, yes, I hate 'irregardless'.
Similarly, I also hate when people use the phrase, 'I could care less.'
Also, and this may be weirdly specific, but something that really bothers me are posts, particularly on Facebook, that use 'Mom's'. For example: 'Only Mom's understand that feeling of looking into your baby's eyes the first time he goes potty'.* I'm normally good at ignoring bad grammar, but combined with the sanctimonious attitude it just drives me to distraction.
That, and, as someone mentioned earlier, 'Mama Bear'. Oh, you went Mama Bear on him, did you? Did you claw him to death and devour his flesh? Shame on you!
Clearly, I should just avoid Facebook for the rest of my life.
*Not an actual post that I have read. Though I wouldn't be surprised if it exists somewhere.

Thank you! I've been enjoying the posts of yours that I run across, as well. I find that I'm liking it here a lot, which is why I eventually decided to stop lurking and sign up. Everyone is fun and seems to have a great sense of humour!
Getting back on track: 'Could you not?'
No. I can't not. The curse won't allow it. Sorry.
Then there's this person who is also celiac, but wishes everyone would shut the hell up about gluten free, because the faddy 'gluten free' foodstuffs often aren't. Not enough for someone with the condition as bad as she (I think) has it.

You know 100 years from now people will look back at this year and think all the history books are lying and it was just a big joke. Sadly though we know the truth.
And while I'm here if I see one more thing with the suffix -maggedon added to it.
The only one I remember ever hearing, besides Armageddon, is 'stormaggedon'. Are there actually more?!
Yes indeed, there's more! Regdogageddon, Haggisageddon, Fruitbatageddon, and Cassandrageddon, just to name a few that I've heard lately.

Or "-gate". Folks, the origin of this was the Watergate Hotel. "-gate" wasn't tacked on at the end to denote it's a scandal; it was ALREADY PART OF THE NAME.
Fixed it for you.

:I hate that one, too. Grrr.
Oh, and I hate it when someone starts a sentence with "I'm sorry" when they are not apologizing. E.g., "I'm sorry, but your argument is totally wrong and you are an idiot.".

I hate "I'm sorry" for just about anything. No you're not sorry. If you were, you wouldn't keep pissing me off. How many sorry's does it take to wind up with Ona's boot up your arse?
Try me.
Try me.
As a continuation...
'You're an idiot and you're wrong. My opinion is right. No offence.'
Yet because they said no offence, I'm the one who's wrong for jamming a fork in their temple?
