People keep saying "yarp"
when they mean yes or yeah. I don't know where it has come from and I find it stupid and annoying.

What do you find stupid and annoying? other than me, my mum and Kaol

Comprehensively yes.
There's only 6mm left.

Have you actually had your hair cut?Was that not the source of your insult gobliness?

Apparently not.

There, see? Still got it.

There's no pain.
It has been met with universal approval.

Considering that I cut it myself there was a fairly good chance that I'd shave my face off too,
but fortunately I managed to avoid that and so I still look like me.

Good good
Mine has been met with universal approval too. It just feels wrong to hear The Deftones out at a club and not have something to swish around, pissing off all and sundry in your near vicinity.

No-one has ever called me that at all, as you well know.
Oaf.

Damn.

( Cawl, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 11:58, Reply)

ah
well, it's cleared that up. doesn't stop it being stupid and annoying though.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 11:30, Reply)

In answer to your other question,
I find the harsh realities of life to be annoying (or perhaps I should say the harsh realities of MY life).
( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 11:32, Reply)

My lack of ability to parallal park is the most stupid and annoying thing.
I really am shit at it.

I wish I was paid daily,

really?
I'm not sure if that would be a good idea.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 11:44, Reply)

It would be a good idea for me personally today,
and that's what matters. I have to wait until friday before I go getting drunk.
This is unnacceptable.

No it's the fault of my pay being non daily,
retard.
(PsychoChomp, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 12:12, Reply)

Do you get paid weekly or monthly?
I'm on weekly at the moment, and I've gotta say that although it's better for cash-flow, it's shit for saving.
( Cawl, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 12:14, Reply)

Monthly,
and I do save, but the 36 hours with £10 isn't tough enough to bother transfering funds.
(PsychoChomp, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 12:16, Reply)

Fair enough.
Also, is your username anything to do with this:

No, I'm not pretentious enough to reference ancient religions in my username.

( Cawl, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 12:26, Reply)

where's the evidence?

yes, well done

'Hey' as a greeting
really boils my piss. It's only used by people who watch far too much mawkish and sentimental American romcoms and/or shit sitcoms like Friends.

When did what is essentially a shout for attention become an acceptable way to greet someone with sensitivity? Fucking outrage. 'Hey'. Say hello, you bastards. That's what you mean. Don't hey me.

I suppose the language change argument doesn't cut much mustard then.

( jim_bob can herd cats., Wed 26 Aug 2009, 12:00, Reply)

I don't agree with that
as it would mean I should also be against saying 'cheers' to mean goodbye

also, and I might be wildly off the mark, but I'm pretty sure hello or a variation thereof was used to hail someone or get there attention in much the same way as hey
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 12:09, Reply)

Wikipedia to the rescue
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, hello is an alteration of hallo, hollo, which came from Old High German "halâ, holâ, emphatic imper[ative] of halôn, holôn to fetch, used esp[ecially] in hailing a ferryman." It also connects the development of hello to the influence of an earlier form, holla, whose origin is in the French holà (roughly, 'whoa there!', from French là 'there').

I'm certain that's right
But I don't like this change. This language change in particular gets my goat.

There's still an element of rudeness to hey. Would you use it to meet potential in-laws for the first time? At a job interview?

So why use it to otehrs? It's not like there aren't any other options - Alright? Wotcha? How-do? Hi?
(Land of Green Ginger It's dreamy weather, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 12:26, Reply)

there's nothing wrong with informal greetings used in the correct context
I like to be rude to my friends, so a greeting that is rude is perfectly acceptable to me.

frequently I will answer the phone with the word "cunt" if I know who is calling.

for "hey".

And get it right up yez a greeting from watching gratuitous Scottish sitcoms
( djtrialprice, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 12:11, Reply)

I use hey a lot.
I don't care what you think.
(PsychoChomp, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 12:14, Reply)

I do
Honest to God, it grates me so. Every time I hear it I wonder where people have picked it up from, and why. And that makes me think that too many people watch Friends and romcoms.
(Land of Green Ginger It's dreamy weather, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 12:24, Reply)

By the way
the 'you' I'm referring to is not b3tans, just a you plural sense to mean the entire world. Nowt personal.
(Land of Green Ginger It's dreamy weather, Wed 26 Aug 2009, 12:27, Reply)

I agree entirely with you
'Hey' is 'gay'.
