JTUK Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 [quote name='blue' timestamp='1427227908' post='2727660'] I've been trying to bring back the term[i] " Groovy "[/i] and it ain't working at all. Blue [/quote] I've been using it for ages... it's beyond 'sick' which is pretty lame these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I really cant stand it when I hear the derogatory term "Guitards" used to insult our 6 string friends. I have a brother who has learning difficulties and this term upsets me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'm groovy about groovy. However, this is an old one, but getting more common: [b]"nuculer"[/b]. Did anyone, anywhere, say this before it was "popularised" by the dubiuously-elected, warmongering, alcoholic, functionally-retarded George Dubya Bush? And why would [i]anyone[/i] want to sound like that vicious cretin? Even the agonisingly English, middle-class ToryBoy guitarist in my band says this now, in his cultivated, cut-glass 1950s RP accent. Makes me want to kill him twice. And one more, this just keeps on going, and makes me more unreasonably borderline-psychotic every time I see it - which is every time I visit here, or any other place which discusses basses or guitars. OK - it's "Squier". "SQUIER". [size=5]IT'S SPELLED [b]"S - Q - U - I - E - R"[/b], OK? GOT THAT???[/size] What - are you labouring under the assumption that Fender have been spelling it wrong since 1982 and you are engaged upon a little personal crusade to point their mistake out to them, is that it? It's soddin' "Squier". [b]"Squier"[/b]. Right? Btw - , and , and hopefully . J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 So, language is constantly evolving. Big deal. I'm good with that. In fact I'm all set. Totes. 110% And at the end of the day, if you want to turn around and call me an idiot, I could care less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Bassy Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1427226926' post='2727626'] Don't be forgetting our friend Mr. Diagonally..... [/quote] Ah, but isn't diagonally a simple combination of forwards and sidewards? To be honest I was going to add "What about moving in circles?", but of course this is only a combination of forward and sideways as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Mid-Atlantic pretentiousness abounds on here.

FuNkShUi Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) I enjoy winding up my guitarist by referring to his guitar as his "Epiphany". It is of course "Epiphone", but as soon as he bit once..... I can't help myself now Edited March 25, 2015 by FuNkShUi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I don't like "Bad" meaning good, "Take out" as opposed to a take-away meal, the "Oh my God" shrieked at high volume by most females under 25 or worse, actually shouting "OMG" and "Whatevah" Not too keen on "The bottom line" either. I'm please that "groovy" may be making a comeback though due to Blue's one man quest to return to 1968. I quite liked "cool" too so I'll be joining his campaign.

KevB Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) I've said it before but the increase in using 'of' in place of 'have' (when preceded by 'should', 'would' etc) is irritating. Edited March 25, 2015 by KevB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sound like awful people, and the fact I now live in a terraced house means I'm worried I'll either be blown up or detained by security services. And what's all this about a "generalection" that's meant to be happening? I blame the terrists. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon. Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 If someone needs to give 110% to get a job done, then clearly they are the wrong person for the job. I'm all for Groovy, though. The world could do with a bit more of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
