You Know What Really Grinds My Gears? Now with 3x more gears...

[Engine09]

I had a friend who when talking about his parents would always say "Mom" or "Dad", not "My Mom" or "My Dad".

They're not my parents, don't call them "Mom" or "Dad", f'ing creep.

It’s significantly more fascinating to me that he isn’t…

Pretending to be annoyed about the stupidest most minor non issues is the whole fun in this thread, come on now.

How could anyone have taken Sliver's post seriously, it was obviously just so silly

Same here. I have friends who did the same. I think it's pretty common.

Nah I’m with Sliver. Nana and Papa are lame.

Baba and Gido? Cool. Nonna and nonno? Even better. The more ethnic the better.

I had a friend who had a 'mee-maw' and 'pee-paw' and I definitely respected him less because of it.

One would think that their grandparents would be long dead by now...

Having to convince older relatives to quit answering their cell phones unless its an actual number saved in their phone. Scam calling mother*******

My friend had a gammy and a pa-pa.

As a grown man he had a lot of tummy aches, until one day I said listen dude, you're an adult now. You don't say tummy.

Possibly, but I think in this case he was referring to the South Park definition.

This probably falls under “ then why don’t you do something about it” but it grinds my gears that we have one giant trade speculation thread for all 9000 things that are happening.

We should have a separate thread for Kadri and Coleman and any other flame on the block. Have the mega thread be for general around the league talk.

That thread is a mess right now.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

There should also be a new thread for a trade once the pieces are known. Nothing like opening a [news] trade thread where the title and OP have the details and the first 8 pages are people speculating about rumours on a return and the actual trade broke on page 9.

I orderered from Arbys . Single beef and cheddar. Now i want anorher. The ratios perfect. So expensive do i order another?

[Ped]

You mean single beef and cheddar cheese sauce where cheddar is the 4th ingredient list.


But yes, they are addictive.
