killigraphy 45 Posted July 14, 2020 Keep it civil since the last thread died because pissing contests tend to arise; -People who dislike when a defender doesn't pick any kind of blasts from the secondary power pool. This isn't WoW or Final Fantasy, healers/supports don't do insane amounts of dmg; either through raw output or DoT. Also, the game isn't even close to hard in general, compared to other MMO"s its a playground...made of sand. We have 9 other dmg dealing classes in the game, my dmg means nothing, also you know...play how I want so long as debuff/buffs/heals are coming in. -Delusional IO set users, yes I also have a billion inf, I also park the enhancement ego, and realize that I'm only as strong as my wallet. Saying general statements like "I tank Recluse easy" without mentioning your 1.5 billion inf toon is false advertising son. Your IO's tank Recluse easy, you just happen to press a few buttons. 2 1 1 4 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coyotedancer 1399 Posted July 14, 2020 Seeing the word "skyrocketing" in news and opinion pieces just drives me up a wall. It's less common now, but a few years ago you couldn't read an article anywhere without that word showing up. It was like some sort of collective mind-virus had infected the entire journalistic community, demanding that "skyrocketing" show up AT LEAST once per article, no matter what the subject. Once I noticed the trend, it became impossible to NOT see. It still makes me grumpy. 1 1 Taker of screenshots. Player of creepy Oranbegans.

Once I noticed the trend, it became impossible to NOT see. It still makes me grumpy. This happens a lot, where a word or phrase seems to show up out of nowhere, is suddenly everywhere at once, and just as suddenly disappears. The nonsensical phrase "it is what it is" was like this, and in business, there was a dreadful period where everyone wanted to "delight (their) customers" and so on. I can't confirm it, but my theory is that these temporary vernacular blips spring up from trade shows/conventions, like, a keynote speaker uses it on a slide or something and all of the sudden it implants itself into the soft brains of the audience, only to wriggle out and plop down on the main conference room table back at work. 1 Indom 50s: Burner Account (Fire/FF Ctrl) | Dr. Unconventional (Ill/Dark Ctrl) | Lawn Boy (Plant/Nat Ctrl) | Magma Lad (Fire/Kin Ctrl) | Metcalf (Grav/Kin Ctrl) | IcyBM (Ice/Trap Ctrl) | Jim With The Weather (Ice/Storm Ctrl) | Dr. Jonas (Mind/Poison Ctrl) | Coldwire (Elec/Cold Ctrl) | Pyrotoxin (Fire/Poison Ctrl) | Flatgrass (Earth/Poison Ctrl) | Voltswagen (Dark/EA Ctrl) | Time Vampire (Grav/Time Ctrl) | Tootboy (Fire/FF Ctrl) | Polarrhoid (Ice/TA Ctrl) | LoLEnEn (En/En Blast) | Draw (Rad/Rad Def) | Destroyo (Bots/Trap MM) | Con Carne (Rad/Bio Brute) | Senor Smoke (Rad/Fire Brute) | Something Else (TW/Bio Scrap) | Thermador (Rad/Fire Brute) | Electrovox (EA/Son Def) | Danzigawatt (Demons/EA MM) | Costumed Adventurer (Fire/EA Ctrl) | Obscured Face Guy (Dark/Storm Ctrl) | Ohm Gott (EA/Dark Def) | Full Recharge (Fire/Storm Ctrl) | Spacegrass (Fire/Nat Ctrl) | Embarrassing Wetness (Water/EA Corr) | Weather Permitting (Ill/Storm Ctrl) | Herr Fryer (Fire/Traps Ctrl) | Rainiac (Grav/Storm Ctrl) | Stokes (Fire/TA Ctrl) | Dismembrandt (DB/Bio Scrap) | Multidudes (Ill/Traps Ctrl) | Meshuggenaut (Inv/RM tank) | Miss October (Grav/Dark Ctrl) | Spastic Colonial (Elec/Dark Ctrl) | Heroic Pyromaniac (Fire/En Blast) | Gigantic Robot (TW/Fire Brute) | too many to list in one signature block...

This is happens in corporations with great regularity; Marketing being possibly the worst offender? I could name off many examples, but this might sum it up best: I'm always stunned that people can speak this gibberish with sincerity like it actually means something… 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmmySky 1696 Posted July 14, 2020 When my sister and I went to college, 'big ol' entered our vernacular as a description of size and drove my mom crazy. When my kids were in elementary or junior high, 'what had happened was' became the way to describe events. I still use it to drive the kids (grown) nuts 😀 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
