Since I'm a grammar fascist

MandK9

After looking at multiple posts on various boards, including this one, I just want to say that when someone says "balled my eyes out" I immediately picture



except with eyeballs, and it totally ruins my day.

I like you.

Since indicates time.  You should have used because.  Because I'm a grammar fascist.

pwned.

You're a homophone fascist, BTW. You know, bawled-balled.

AllAboutTheBenjamin

Nice visual.

I love that expression "bawled my eyes out."  Did you really bawl your eyes out?  Did you go blind?  Was it bloody and did it hurt? 

Night_Sprite

LC FTW!

MandK9

Well, I suck. 

But still.  I stand by my original statement, with appropriate revisions.

That is once of my biggest grammar pet peeves because everyone and their mothers do it.  Another one?  "Could of" instead of "could have".

I just liked that you used "fascist" because now I'm picturing different political thoughts being associated with grammar.

Like...
"I'm a grammar libertarian."
"I'm a grammar Marxist."

MandK9

Sorry everyone. I feel a little like Clayton Bigsby from Chappelle's Show now.

goheels05

I didn't know that about "since" and "because."  I also just used a dangling participle(?). 

laurenclaire1386

Oh, don't be sorry. We're just messin witcha

MarriedInAFever

My brain hurts.

Night_Sprite

Just remember, Miss Mand, throwing the first stone and all that.

But who would have that many eyeballs in their head?

Is that because you just balled your eyes out?

Night_Sprite

Also, scooping an eyeball like that would definitely make the vitreous humor leak.  Eye juice.

Guys! I come to TK to get away from things related to work. I don't want things that remind me of my work showing up here. No more of this grammar nonsense, understand?!

I'm about to. Just got the necessary adds to the guest list from FMIL. She added 17 people. And I just mailed the invites. And I'm going to go ape sh!t.

raynes

Please note that this is my H's joke.

What do you get when you combine an Argentinian cowboy with a communist?

AllAboutTheBenjamin

Where is this ape shiit that you're going to, Fever?

[Deleted User]

I just bought one of those scooper things. Now I have a horrible image of what to do with it.

MarriedInAFever

Whaaaat, Raynes?

I'm going to go ape sh!t. Not to ape sh!t. Not a literal place.

Cripes. I am so sorry.

raynes

A Gaucho Marxist.

AllAboutTheBenjamin

Got it.

I always wonder where those expressions come from though.  Like when people go ape shiit.  Or when someone says "I have to take a piss."  You're not really taking it... aren't you leaving it?

But I use those expressions too.  I go ape shiit.  And take pisses.

MandK9

First, raynes, that's a fantastic joke.

Second, if we're talking about weird sayings, how about "I was beside myself." That one again utilizes my imagination in a weird way.

AllAboutTheBenjamin

Yeah... and that's an interesting one.  Because obviously, being beside yourself would probably require quite the acid trip.

I will never understand having a gigantic weight loss ticker that does nothing but illustrate the fact that you havnt lost any weight...

Until that last sentence, I was trying to figure out what your job was that it had anything to do with eyes and melon ballers.

Sorry. I'm really whiny and frustrated today.
