The English language is a beautiful language and there are so many great ways to say things but there are just a few things that people say to me on an almost daily basis that piss me the fuck off.

Fine – If you use this word to describe anything then you might as well just be lying directly to my face. If something is fine then it isn’t good and it isn’t bad, it isn’t pleasing or it isn’t displeasing, it’s just what people say when there is a story to tell they don’t feel like telling or an argument they don’t feel like having. I am all about being real and honest so save your “fines” for someone else and talk to me when you want to spill or hash it out. Also don’t ever trust a girl who tells you she is fine.

It is what it is – Of course it is what it is. What else would it be? Also it is what it isn’t. This is a useless expression that conveys no meaning. It’s a mark of defeat; it’s a way of saying that you can’t change something. Everything can be changed if you want to put the effort into it.

That’s Funny or That’s Hilarious – If it was really funny why did fuck didn’t you just laugh? These expressions and ones like them are basically what a LOL is in a text message. I’d rather you not laugh at my joke than waste my time and say “that’s funny” in some weak attempt to save my ego.

Long story short – The story isn’t going to be short. If it is a long story you can’t make it short. Sure you can cut out the details but how much are you really going to cut out? Probably enough that will have me asking questions to really understand the story which will then make the story longer than it really needed to be.

There are definitely more things that bother me but happy hour is calling my name. I’ll save them for another post because that’s how I roll.
