"give 110%" make me want to puke.

Speaking of percentages, this is a strictly mathematical viewpoint...it goes like this:

What makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%.

How about achieving 103%?

What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

and

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

but

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

and

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

And look how far ass kissing will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that while Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close,
and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.

it's interesting to see the regional quirks. i have a cousin who lives in a small town but i don't know if it's just her that does this or if it's a product of where she lives. her "filler" is "and that, so/then..." as in

"we aren't sure when we will go down for christmas and that so please don't go out and buy presents for us. we may not see you till the new year and that then..."

sometimes i notice going home that my mother says "she said, she said..." it is very strange. i guess she uses two intonations in her voice and to her that is just the way you preface quoting someone.

"i was talking to mary yesterday and she said (slight pause) she said that harvey had to go back to the hospital." (if mary had a lot more to say the whole conversation would continue with the she said she said theme! eek )

i think i am guilty of saying "actually" too much (or maybe i've moved on to apparently) and apparently i sigh a lot during conversation. redface



I have a cousin who describes a group of people as "John and them", "Liz and them" etc, even if the "them" is really only one more person. lol

People saying "GOSH, you're so TALL!!11!1!1" when they first meet me mad

Do I go around pointing out your blatantly obvious physical characteristics? No! So stfu



I know how you feel lol I have a friend who is 6'9 and people ALWAYS comment on his height and gawk like they have no shame. I know it makes him feel bad, so once, when we were walking together in the mall, I heard someone behind say, "OH MY GOD, HOW TALL ARE YOU?!" I turn around and say "5'6, thanks for asking." turn back around and keep walking. giggle

giggle

I've got a buddy who's also pushing the 7 foot mark, and I'm less than 5 feet. You can imagine the reactions we get walking anywhere together...

I hate it when I say thats gay or you are a fag...everyone gets all politically correct and offended as if gay people were the only people on this earth it pisses me off cause 99 percent of the time I really don't mean you're litterally gay. or a fag. Whatever its just obnoxious cause they think automatically OH YOUR RACISTS AGAINST HOMOSEXUALS....and its like no...my brother is gay other family members are gay and i'm cool with it. Gay is the new black so stfu.

I've never actually sat through one of his interviews....but I'm sure that if he does in fact make liberal use of "WE" when he speaks of himself, I would probably wanna go all johnwoo on the tube by the end of his interview....evillol

If in New Orleans for whatever reason (visiting folks, Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, Voodoo Fest, etc) a person will no doubt pull their hair out if "...and them" annoys that person...it is a staple of speech there...describing a group or as a greeting, as in "How's ya momma and (th)'em?" instead of just a bland hi or hello....

and thats your South Louisiana language tidbit of the day..... lol

These people in my theatre class got in a habit of calling each other names like hooker face, slut bag, ho bag, bitch. It was so annoying, but I guess they thought they were being cool and indie with words like hookerface. Even though those things were annoying, I think I'm gonna miss that class.

Actually, it is a real word. It's just dumb. disbelief lol

1 : AWARD, HONOR
2 : COMPLIMENT, PRAISE
usage Some commentators hold that since kudos is a singular word it cannot be used as a plural and that the word kudo is impossible. But kudo does exist; it is simply one of the most recent words created by back-formation from another word misunderstood as a plural. Kudos was introduced into English in the 19th century; it was used in contexts where a reader unfamiliar with Greek could not be sure whether it was singular or plural. By the 1920s it began to appear as a plural, and about 25 years later kudo began to appear. It may have begun as a misunderstanding, but then so did cherry and pea.
