...about posts that finish with the words...

[woollyideas]

I become quite apoplectic when forum posts contain the word 'simples' and find myself almost hyperventilating when the last two words of a post are... 'end of'
AIBU?

I have used 'end of' when I was feeling very cross. It made me chuckle when I re-read the thread a while later. It's pretty dire.

'Simples' I don't understand. Is that a word now?

For some reason, thread titles which say 'talk to me about..... ' highchairs/playdoh/mooncups etc etc always give me an urge to post 'No. Fuck off'.

No? At the end of a sentence itches my sh*t.

Oh! Oh! What about 'non?' Even worse, non?

It's not so much the "discuss" it's the FULL STOP and then Discuss. Discuss.

I quite like "simples". I think it is funny how a random TV advert about a meercat has managed to enter the public consciousness to that extent. MY OH has a German colleague (based in Germany, not over here) who is colloquial enough that he uses it at the end of his emails!

"End of" is really irritating. It always appears at the end of some really facile, DM type argument.

YABNU. Simples doesn't really bother me - people will grow out of that. But 'end of' drives me nuts. Also 'grow a pair' and 'D'ya know what?' starting every statement. Jessie J said it four times in one sentence on the Brit Awards thingy last night.

Oh and I don't like 'and breathe' after a rant. I'm sure it was funny the first few times but it's boring now.

A gavel is the little hammer judges bash down with when pronounced a sentence. In other words, it is a final judgement. A posher way of saying 'end of'.

Discuss.

I hate simples and hate the bloody meerkats too. I just don't get it. Annoying as hell.

Most of some people's posts are vain attempts to impress with their superiour wit and intellect. They normally end up looking like mindless fuckwits to everybody but themselves.

Shut. Up.

The following makes my spine twitch:
NEXT!
End of!
Sorted!

euuuuurgh. It deeply offends me. End of.

Not sure how 'simples' or 'end of' or any of these sayings are examples of people trying to show wit or intellect.

I don't know that I get upset over it, but "Simples" always makes me wonder about the age and maturity of the poster. It seems to say:
"I am easily influenced by TV adverts";
"I think meercats dressed up as humans are really funny";
"I get confused by singular and plural".

The ones that annoy me are "breeders" to describe parents
("I can't make my point without being deliberately offensive");

Money "working hard for me"
("I haven't yet mastered the difference between living and inert").

and the most offensive of the lot is when I read or hear a catch-phrase Parrot of a business type announce to the press, following a round of redundancies, that the company is now "leaner and fitter".
(They are the former colleagues of your current work-force, you insensitive tosser, not excess fat!).

I think ENJOY was used by Wossy and other people too.
