Seriously, society, if you don't know how to use this proper, just don't. Although I think I'm fighting a losing battle here because its misuse is spreading from everyday usage and into the media. It happened on the goddamned BBC news. Shit.

When my Logic proffesor said last year, "once you understand the meaning of the phrase beg the question it will annoy you when people use it wrong all the time", I though nah not gonna bug me that much. But it does! My main issue with it is that Jon Stewart uses it on the Daily Show about once a week, I know he is a comedian etc. but its the only thing I dont like about his show.
Some phrases that annoy me:
"Who the hell are you, Get out of my house/off my lawn"
"I dont care, im still not sleeping with you"
Pssh, tards
Ballard:
This thread is fucking annoying. I saw a point in it before and it could've become something interesting but now it's just people ranting about expressions they have something against for some or no particular reason. Fuck.
McTaggart:
'totes' is a fantastic term.
