Is anyone else annoyed by the phrase vajay jay that Oprah says?
It gets on my nerves, too. Sometimes, when she tries to act funny, or like a common person, she comes off like a fool. It's not just the fact she says it, it's the way she says it, if that makes sense.
Sugarland? Does this chick's voice annoy anyone else or is it just me?
I'm at work and there's a country station on and the sound of this woman's voice makes me want to scream!!!!!! Just wondering if it has that affect on anyone else? Thanks. Have a nice day.
Is it just me, or is anyone else annoyed by questions that start with "Is it just me"?
It doesn’t really bother me — I ask questions IRL all the time starting with “is it just me”.I think people want validation for feeling a certain way, which they perceive as outside the mainstream way of feeling or thinking about a topic. “Is it just me” is code for “Am I totally weird and strange for thinking/feeling this way about X”.Usually they’re not that far outside the mainstream. Except you, Scott. It really is just you. JUST YOU!!!!
Is anyone else annoyed with the term "walk off" in reference to baseball game winners on ESPN?
Since 2000, ESPN has poisoned baseball lexicon by calling a home team scoring a game winning run (via base hit or homerun) a walk off. No one "walks" in the process of getting a game winner. It totally insults the intelligence of a baseball fan. Whatever happened to sipmly calling a game ending RBI a game winner? Also a side question: Is anyone else annoyed with ESPN in general? The "Who's Now" popularity contest is a joke. Simply crown LeBron James and get it over with (it's what they're going to do anyway). While I'm not a Sidney Crosby fan, he was totally railroaded by "voters" and the so-called "panelists" (a washed up NFL crybaby, a loser of a college quarterback who never made it in the NFL, and a hack Washington Post writer), not to mention the overrated Stuart Scott (boo-ya got old a loooooong time ago, fella). Totally diminished Crosby's accomplishments ("Jeter is on the Yankees, after all", that and I don't recall Jeter ever winning a regular season MVP). Weigh in people!
Anyone else hate the word "Epic"?
Why? It's just your name with a P :) My brother said "owned" all the time. then he moved on to "pwned". THAT'S NOT A WORD! IT'S A TYPO! It does bother me when people say Epic Fail though. Edit: Polls & Surveys? traitor :) Edit #2: F.I.G. sounds like a criminal organisation.... or just a fig haha :D Edit #3: I'm not complaining f.i.g is cool i've grown to love it :)
Anyone else hate the word "Hubby"?
I can't stand that word and I also cant' stand "wifey". When I hear either of those words, I cringe. I even told my fiancee to never, ever call me "hubby" and I would never call her "wifey". She hates those words, too. But you made me laugh really hard, when you mentioned the teeny-bopper girls who have had boyfriends for a whole 10 minutes. LOL. That's just as bad as when they say "I've known him forever and we're in love - we met 2 weeks ago in class."
Does anyone else think Oprah is annoying?
I don't love her show but I love her! She's one of my heroines.

Does anyone else find Oprah Winfrey completely annoying now or is it just me ?
I agree with you. Oprah has always been a naive tool of "positive thinking", the self-help-industry, and a whore for our ignorant culture. That's why she has been rewarded with millions of dollars. She helps to prop up all the rest of the world's bullshit. And now, she's supporting the black Demo candidate, who's entire message is the simplistic mantra chant: "Change". Change to WHAT? And what did she expect to happen, when she endowed some special school in Africa with a lot of money? That those folks would somehow convert to OUR way of life? Nonsense. Vote for Hilary Clinton. She lives in the REAL WORLD of you, me, and US.
Is anybody else annoyed by ordinary people who use the word startup?
In the minds of many, it seems, "startup" has its own magical allure. It is as if the mere application of the word to some business idea will someone attract huge sums of venture capital and produce a stunning success.Then again, we see such questions as "I'm working on a startup. What is the first step?" Good grief.So where did the term originate, and what did it mean? Look to the Silicon Valley, during and after the internet-tech bubble days. A few bright and lucky people who were already successful turned their attention to new technology or business ideas which they believed had some commercial promise. Thus they sketched out the basic ideas, drew up financial pro-formas and business plans and created their new venture on paper. Owing to their reputation, they could easily get appointments with investors.Once the funding and talent and physical space was all secured, they could "startup." Sort of like starting up a car. Vehicle, fuel, map, driver, roads. Start the car! But notice, there was actually something to start. So the term "startup" weaseled its way into the financial and trade press and became synonymous with "the next big thing."And now, countless Quoran wannabe entrepreneurs have inhaled the heady aroma of "startup," mistakenly believing that a mere business idea, if labeled as "startup" will instantly draw the attention and the money of people to fund it. There will always be cases, of course, where someone who has only an idea may be very successful because the idea catches the attention of someone else who understands the potential and has the muscle to turn dream into reality. The trick is to find and get in front of such people. Such dazzling success stories, however, will be in the tiniest minority.I do find both the over-use and the misuse of "startup" annoying, because "startup" questions are usually lacking in sufficient detail to answer the question. "I have a game changing business idea that I would like to transform into a startup. How do I get funding?" Stand on the street corner with a tin cup and a sign: "Fund my startup."Good luck, with that.
