just saying
no offense


"just saying" is the twitter generation's "no offense."

"Not that there's anything wrong with that"

Meant to imply neutrality, but actually involves a moral judgement

Skradgee 09-25-2012 01:08 PM

"I feel like..."

Tchocky 09-25-2012 01:19 PM

Everyday's a holiday!
Working hard or hardly working?!

Shut the fuck up! You're not fucking funny, you're not fucking clever. You use the same three or four jokes every fucking day. Just stop. Just fucking stop.

Give an inch (he/she) will take a mile.

If there's grass on the wicket it's time to play cricket
Old enough to bleed, old enough for me
There are three stages of life, childhood, adulthood and damn you look good
Get a leg over
Pretty good, for a girl
Bible basher
Don't sweat the small stuff
This too shall pass
Time is a great healer
Built like a brick shithouse
Popping the cherry

Starla 09-25-2012 04:35 PM

I hate the saying this too shall pass. Even if it does, it's not like I'm going to ever forget it.

Starla 09-25-2012 04:37 PM

I hate when people say "I get that".

vixnix 09-25-2012 04:43 PM

Yeah. Also:

I hear you
Sorry you feel that way
I'm a glass half full kinda person
Look on the bright side
Make the best of it
Every cloud has a silver lining
Where God closes a door He opens a window
Choose to look at it another way
It's not about getting what you want, but wanting what you've got

Starla 09-25-2012 04:50 PM

lol you've listed about every annoying facebook status

Kahlo 09-25-2012 05:24 PM

killtrocity 09-25-2012 11:50 PM

EyesOfAJackal 09-25-2012 11:57 PM
