The misuse of words bothers me far more. Hero, for example. Grinder is even worse. And, that was witty

Whuzt ah ditch donkey ?
heard of ditch tiger = outside house cat but not a ditch donkey Ditch donkey is same as swamp donkey, a retarded way to refer to moose. I fully realize none of these things actually matter much and I'm not trying to get people to change anything, its just a thing that bothers me more than it should. Its too hot and dry to do much outside right now, so I'm killing a bit of time till it cools off. Now you want to talk about stupid words,lets talk about gubernatorial! Who can take something like that seriously? Gubernatorial! Just ridiculous, I tell you!

I've long realized that my brain doesn't necessarily work quite normally in some area's, and wondered if maybe others share this same problem. I find that some slang terms really annoy me...like to the point of extreme irritational anger. No real rhyme or reason to it either. Sammich? Sounds retarded. Song dog? Retarded. Speed goat, ditch donkey etc, same. Catsup? Yeah I know its not necessarily slang but still trips the little switch in my brain. The latest and worst is "the jab". I don't really GAF about the actual vaccine and it's surrounding propaganda, but that term makes me want to do crime. Even worse is "double jab"....like somehow everyone using stupid slang terms for it makes it cool or something. I dunno, it doesn't make any sense but there it is.
Oh, and buttons. I hate buttons. Buttons are gross looking, stupid shiny little plastic or metal discs. Alot of the time they aren't even necessary or functional but added for some sort of decoration! Makes my skin crawl just thinking about them. I'm not weird, your weird! That is all. Lighten up Francis!!!!

I've always HATED that one! Now it's more appropriate, though, as I like to call Andy Beshear our gubernor.

I never could stand anyone calling a transmission a "tranny" either. If you are into black powder firearms you will hear/read a number of exceptionally irritating cutesy slang words... "flinter", "capper", "rocklock", "smoothie".... all of which make me want to rip out somebody's throat.

Not a major point in life, but I have to admit, when someone says "taters" I cringe just a bit.

I like slang. I don't like people who don't know slang is slang.

Saw on FB. Shortened for brevity.
Couple colored guys. One telling the other to call him Biminouses.
Ok, he says.
Days later.
Hey Biminouses. No answer.
Hey Biminouses. No answer.
Another steps in to say, "what you saying cuz?"
Uh, he said call him Biminouses.
NO, his name is KC! He said to call him by his initials.

Husky. But no, not much is bothersome. 'Cept projectiles and calling brass cases cartridges or rounds. Or points, fuuck! Yeah. Pisses me off. The Rona? What like Uncle Ted sang about?

Slang doesn't bother me at all. If I don't know what you're talking about, I'll ask
I'm more annoyed with the misuse of pronouns (they, them) and the wrath that this generation spews if I don't abandon common usage and bow to they, them, hijacking proper English.
Example, "They are no longer a girl and you shouldn't refer to them as "her or she" any longer."
I don't care if you're gay or straight, get over yourself and move on.
"Camping places fix themselves in your mind as if you had spent long periods of your life in them.
You will remember a curve of your wagon track in the grass of the plain like the features of a friend."

Black speak is okay for blacks. Coming from white folks it's retarded.
