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.

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

We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
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 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.

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.

Re: Since I'm a grammar fascist
pwned.

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

Everything the light touches is my kingdom.
Like...
"I'm a grammar libertarian."
"I'm a grammar Marxist."

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

I just bought one of those scooper things. Now I have a horrible image of what to do with it.
I'm going to go ape sh!t. Not to ape sh!t. Not a literal place.

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

Sorry. I'm really whiny and frustrated today.
