It seems as if the buzzword for quarterbacking this year is "manage the game"

I am fucking sick of it. Play Quarterback

Nope. Buzzword of the year is clearly "physicality".

Imagine a quarterback that played with such physicality and tenacity. And what if that quarterback had SEC Speed? and also posseses the ability to manage the game in pressure-packed situations.

"Moving forward" as a transitional phrase sucks. Dumb people tend to use it to get out of situations where they look dumb.

I have always been bothered by people who refer to a picture as a "pitcher." Is it really that hard to add a "C?"

I also heard someone say "not" the other day and I wanted to punch them in the throat but only people who have been locked away for 15 years still say that

Telephone machine answering:

1) "press 1 for English"

2) "your call is important to us, all of our representatives are busy helping other customers, your wait time is approximately 45 minutes"

3) To better serve you we have changes our answering machine options, listen carefully and answer the following questions carefully, press 1 for.........stc.

If you really wanted to better serve me, just have a real person answer the fucking phone.

After you log in at a dentists/doctors office:

"we'll be with you shortly" or "we'll be with you monentarily"

I always ask them how many actual minutes is shortly and/or momentarily; usually they have no idea.

The use of "momentarily" to mean "soon" or "presently," rather than "for a moment." Of course, the misuse of this word has been so complete recently as to have created a new meaning it appears.

"Top Ten" :tongue2:

Actually, I'd have to say that for football, "huuuuuuge play" bothers me. I mean it's not enough to say it was a big play? It has to be a huge play? What constitutes the gradient between "big play" and "huge play"?
