Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Does slang annoy you?

You have a naner tree too?

I meet all walks of people for work related issues give me your credit card a check or cash and I’ll try to understand what your talking about

Had a employee of mine tell a a Guatemalan to go [bleep] himself in Italian I don’t think it was translated he’s still alive

Bugs me a little when I hear ".257 Bob" for the wonderful, classic .257 Roberts. Dumb asses think it sounds cool.

Canadian chicken chain we have here called Mary Brown's(pretty good chicken too) has 'taters on the menu. They always ask "fries or 'taters"" and I usually answer back potatoes. One time I said 'taters, and I swear I could barely utter the word, and then I felt like a damn retard. More than usual, I mean.

Do they have spuds?

Pet peeve of mine is how often people respond to a casual how you doing with.. “ehh I’m just really tired”
Women say that all the time but they don’t have a monopoly on the expression

Also can’t stand the term wifey

Baby talk like Remmy & Leupy certainly are annoying.

When people say smashed taters instead of mashed potatoes.

Also....any slang ending in -y or -ie.

On a somewhat related note. Cannot stand anyone referring to their wife or girlfriend as “their old lady” downright disrespectful!

Ah yes, the whole pronoun thing. I'm just going to address those I don't know as, "A**hole". Doesn't imply a gender, race or any other hot button subject.

Him slang is the worst. Shotty, Remmy, Bang Switch, Running, Tacticool, High Speed/Low Drag, and dozens of others. An Outdoor Life writer even called a gun he was testing a "shotty" and remarked that it "ran everything".

I can’t wait to get old and grouchy.

The language is degrading fast enough courtesy of the public school system. We need not accelerate the plunge into something like a white version of ebonics.

There is no there there.

You beat me to the punch. Shooters run everything.

I am running a Colt AR. I am running a Nightforce scope on my Colt. I am running TMKs. I run Nosler brass. My Colt likes to run wet. Does anyone use anything any goddam more?

prissy fugkers

Who says you have to wait, you can be grouchy right now!

I wouldn't consider myself to be grouchy,actually fairly easy going mostly, which is why I find it odd that stupid little things like a word or expression get to me. Doesn't make any sense.

I do not like the French slang-word for marijuana:

Oui-d

I often here the term "Winnie" when referring to a Winchester rifle, sounds silly, but it doesnt bother me. I once heard a guy refer to his Winchester as a "Chester" Im glad that one never caught on....
