ARGH! If you're going to say wow and only wow just say wow. We don't need the ', just wow' qualifier

[DS1]

GODDAMMIT!

:argh:


Here, unoriginal bastards, I'll type it out of for you so you can cut and paste and reply with

Wow, just wow



go for it.

[Redstone]

1. But what if we do it with a period instead? Like, "Wow. Just wow."

No, guess that's not actually any better. Never mind.

But hey, at least I didn't reply with one of those "one-word-sentence series," like "Best. Fucking. Rant. Ever."

Redstone

[DS1]

4. Yes, credit for the lack of period abuse

:thumbsup:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. Nice to see someone else is deeply annoyed by the one-word sentence series.

I hate that. (I.Just.Fucking.Hate.It.)

But seriesly, I just cringe when I see "Best.Whatever.Ever."

[DS1]

10. I've never seen that

thankfully

[Redstone]

13. Never seen it? It's all over DU, though infrequently. Usually as a post subject, like:

"Worst. Fucking. Movie. Ever."

Redstone

[DS1]

16. Oh yes, that I've seen plenty of times. I'm guilty of it, too.

but never, specifically Best.Whatever.Ever.

:)

[MsKandice01]

17. Awww...

But the period is my favorite punctuation mark! I don't know if you can ever overuse a period. Question marks, yes. Exclamation points, absolutely. Not so much with periods though. Well, unless you're doing one of these numbers "............................" but in that case, that's an extremely long ellipsis, not a period.

Hi, Redstone! :hi:

[Redstone]

21. Hey, sweets! You know what, I think I'm in love...a woman who knows what an ellipsis is,

AND that it's a singular word.

(Don't tell your husband what I just said, OK? I won't be telling Mrs R, either.)

Redstone

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. How about something more emphatic, like "Wow! Just, wow!"

Or, "Holy fucking tapdancing wow on a Triscuit?"

[DS1]

7. I'd prefer the triscuit option

as soon as the word 'just' is in there, it's no longer just wow. It's two wows with a just in the middle. It's a just sandwich.

Wow.


Maybe I am insane, and all the posters here telling me to get help are right



:yoiks:

[leeroysphitz]

40. Mmm... Sandwiches. N/T

[Redstone]

22. Hey, there's an idea for a new thread: Variations on "Jesus Christ on a (...)!"

I've always like all the iterations of that theme.

Redstone

[LaurenG]

3. Wow, just wow

you mean like this?

















:hide:
Yes I am a smart ass and I appreciate your sentiment but I. just.had.to.do.it.

[petronius]

5. Of course that's the wrong way to do it. All grammar-nazis know it should be

"Wow. Just... wow." The ellipses imply a pause to consider if there's anything else worth saying. Only douchebags and freepers would type it the way you did.

[Redstone]

20. Ellipsis, not ellipses. And it's singluar, not plural.

Hey, you wanted a Grammar Nazi? You got one.

Dang, this thread is getting to be fun. And I could use some fun on a gloomy, cold, and rainy afternoon such as this.

(Grammar Nazis: Note my use of the "Oxford comma" after the word "cold." I believe in the Oxford Comma. You can argue about its legitimacy, but you'll take my Oxford Comma away from me when you pry it from my cold, dead hand.)

Redstone

[Schema Thing]

38. sure does fuck up the reading though

;)

[GCP]

44. Hold it a cotton-pickin' minute

I was taught English Grammar in England, and we were always taught that there is no last comma before an 'and'.
I throw down the grammar-nazi gauntlet on you, Sir!

[hisownpetard]

54. Of course, if an ellipsis comes at the end of a sentence, there must be a fourth

dot (indicating a period) at the end.
As in:
The man who insisted on using the arbitrary and quirky "Oxford comma," was found lying face-down
on his bed, his tight fist wrapped around nothing but air....

[Pierre.Suave]

6. WOW...

Just WOW...............

[DS1]

8. Did your fiancee type that on your iPhone, wowface?

:grr:

[Pierre.Suave]

55. No, I did...

Just to see what your reaction would be.

:P

[sasquatch]

11. Is your Sig photo a crack at Obama?

PM me the answer if you're to scared to post it.

[DS1]

12. No, it's a crack at the fucking morons who call Obama supporters part of a cult

[Midlodemocrat]

56. I don't think DS1 has ever been too scared

to post anything.

[sasquatch]

60. What about photoshoped photos of TM?

:hide:

[DS1]

61. puh

[Midlodemocrat]

63. Wow. just wow.

[TZ]

14. Great, Just great.

Nice post, grammar nazi!:rofl:

[DS1]

18. 17 days?

We're not even going to last 17 hours with those things in there

[harmonicon]

15. Whoa! Wow, not just wow, but whoa wow

[theredpen]

19. Wow, fucking wow!

How's that?

[DS1]

23. that works

entirely

[AwakeAtLast]

24. How about this?

:wow: just :wow:



Is that better? :D










:hide:

[DS1]

25. no, still sucks

:wow:


would be sufficient

[Redstone]

26. Hey, I'm still waiting to hear from you on that php thing for my customer.

Redstone

[DS1]

28. I know

still rooting through the files

[Redstone]

33. The cable assembly one and the connector one should have basically-matching code,

but they don't, as you know. If you can find a way to get them "in sync" with one another, please do. I need to be able to make minor changes (such as who gets a bcc of the information) without having to do it a different way on each version.

Make it clean, make it understandable, and send me a bill when you're done. I have two potential new customers for that software, so there may be more work to follow - and for one of the potential customers, I may need your database expertise as well.

Christ, it's 2 PM already? I gotta get out of here and get to work!

Redstone

[DS1]

36. I think I found the problem

will PM

[AwakeAtLast]

29. Well, just for the record

I have never posted that phrase. Well, until now, sorta.

[billyskank]

27. Oh la la.

Seulement.

[DarkTirade]

30. Holy crap. Just... holy crap.

:P

[many a good man]

31. Can you provide some more example, please?

I have not been wowed in a long time and the feeling is becoming unfermillure.

[zingaro]

32. Wow. Just wuh-fucking-ow.

Really, just wow.

:rofl:

[DS1]

37. wuh-fucking-ow would work

it's the 'just' that kills it

[bettyellen]

47. wuh-fucking-ow. i hope you don't mind

i'm stealing that. i think i have a good use for it.

[redwitch]

34. Get. Over. It.

(All three)

[madinmaryland]

35. Enough already....

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

:evilgrin:

[TZ]

42. Yuck. Just yuck!

:rofl:

[Schema Thing]

39. I think it has simply become the common form of "wow, gist wow"

indicating amazement at the central idea of a proffered comment.


:)

[Chovexani]

41. Nice post, Hitler

:P

[SOteric]

43. Like, Wow.

[GCP]

45. Have a nice cup of camomile tea and light an aromatherapy candle!

[DS1]

46. Yes, mother.

50. That reminds me....

I heard some weird noises last night and figured that it was the squirrel in the attic again. In retrospect, it may have been my nuts chuckling.

[DS1]

53. ahahah

57. If you had a Beanie Baby collection, you wouldn't be the type to be bothered by that.

Just sayin'.

[Blue_Roses]

58. Wow, just wow

[Amerigo Vespucci]

59. I prefer "WOW...OMFG, I'm SERIES...this is HUGH...WOW!"

As much as I try, I can never get my arms fully around "just wow."

:evilgrin:
