Title: Words people use too much
Post by: soundifound on December 08, 2001, 08:46:35 AM: Just listen to someone talk, preferrably a teenager and count how many times they use the word \'like\'. Its funny how some people will say "I like went to the mall yesterday to like get a new t-shirt" "I went to the mall yesterday to get a new t-shirt". I was in class the other day and this girl said like probably every other word.

What is it about this word? Orbitz chewing gum, Orbitz travel, Orbitz fruit juice. Its just gettig a little to freaky for me.

"It\'s a _______ thing."

ex: It\'s a guy thing. It\'s a black thing. It\'s a California thing.

Also, never call a Honda S 2000 a "Stook." :)

Post by: Eiksirf on December 12, 2001, 10:14:40 PM: You know Silicon Knights? The guys making games like Eternal Darkness and Too Human for Gamecube?

Well I got an interview with the president of SK, Denis Dyack, and it\'s 70 minutes long.

He\'d be talking and say something like, "Yea we had a hard time deciding if it was right to delay the game just to bring it to Gamecube, but at the end of the day, it was definitely worth it."

And in that 70 minutes he must have said "at the end of the day" a dozen times.

Definitely one of the more unusual phrases to be hooked on.
