Folks Of Interest Catch words, phrases coined

"1,000 per cent" Huh?
" I could care less" which "literally" means nothing ;-)

 

Yeah, me too! Everybody knows what you meant anyway. No sense beatin' around the bush! Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke!

 

Bird man : I heard it from the Black Airmen as "MFWIC" : "Mother F....What's In Charge", usually referring to either the 1st Sarge, or sometimes the Major.

 

Another one is "take it to the next level".

 

Hate it when Tom Shane says "jewlery" ..and he sells the stuff.

 

Several years ago here on the dear old HAMB, a guy would post a picture of a nice custom. I remember several of the younger “hepcats” would comment with:
“Tits”
“That’s just tits.”

And when I looked at the photo again, I saw nary a breast or small cute bird.

How about drag race ?
Used to be ours
Just Google drag race

 

That's a fact. Northern gals just love Southern accents.

 

Wish, not which. Just call me Mom.

 

Or blame autocorrect plus poor proof reading on my part.

 

Me too.
When someone says "jularie" instead of jewelry, I ask "how many julahs did you mean?"


WHY BE ORDINARY ?

 

Had a motor mouth friend who talked so fast, he'd say "tranmission"..Each and every time you saw him.
In today's world, I'd avoid "tranny" too.
Everybody knows someone who's every conversation contains "whatever blows your skirt up" . Sounds kinda tranny-ish too...Can you say L-O-L-A ?

 

Didn’t we used call that a pound sign? And when the hell did it change?

"Stall converter". Every converter has a stall speed.

 

Worse yet.."Stahl converters"...Ah, no, that would be Stahl headers.

 

"I know, right?"

 

"Sick". That car is sick! My first reaction is, "That's too bad. What's wrong with it?".

 

31 vic metioned drag race. I hate it when newbs tell me "...and it went 11 two" I usually ask, "As in what, 11.20 or 11.29?" "Why, who cares. What's the difference?" "Um, a car length?" "Yeah, right..." Now you know the fucks didn't go 11-anything.

Then on TV (yeah I watch Street Outlaws) this bullshit of "I'll drag his ass...". Where the hell did THAT come from? I heard long ago in my young teens it was from "Well drag it out and let's do it." or from dragging the car to the lakes or an air strip. So which is right? I think the latter.

I don't even wanna start on some of the other latest colloquialisms. I've made up mind when someone's giving me parrot shit or some magazine "knowledge" I want to remember to just say loud and quick "SQUIRREL!" and start walking away toward it. No offense to Jim, our "brother" Squirrel

 

I kinda like that one

 

Kills me every time I hear"Heighth" I don't care if Shakespeare or Charles Dickens used it. It's still wrong. Stop.

 

Negatives paired with positives somehow or someway are supposed to emphasize

ridiculously smart
Insanely brilliant
Ridiculously beautiful

Then it goes the other way

immensely skinny
Immensely stupid

I’m betting it comes from clickbait YouTube titles authored by foreigners.

 

When I was 12 years old handing out time slips at the Drags I had to explain many times to newbs what reaction time meant. "But I went faster than him. Why did I lose?" It was kind of fun really. A kid telling a grown man he was sleeping at the light. I also had to explain what breaking out was many times. At least they knew what the red light meant.

 

It’s HNIC.....

In my teens, if I heard my father start a sentence with, " I'll drag his ass ", he was talking to my mother about something he thought I had done wrong. Whatever I had done, it invariably involved cars and my hoodlum friends. The sentence usually ended with " out behind the barn and beat him 'til his ass bleeds". That man had a hand on him like the wrath of Jesus.

 

Seen every day on the 'net, now that we don't have proofreaders
Lose..opposite of win
Losing...opposite of winning
Loose..opposite of tight
Loosing is a word , but not commonly used..."Just sayin' "

 

Thanks "typo" whoops. Fixed. lol

 

Used to be but not anymore.

 

I always heard it as MMFIC

 

FUBAR.....
