neepheid Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 Also, can someone please explain to me where the misspelling of neck as 'kneck' came from? I get that heel and heal get mixed up as homophones but kneck? That isn't even a word! Quote

Expand In an exit interview from an awful job I cited the HR Director continually saying "Pacifically" as I reason I couldn't work there any more.

Waiting to see that it will spread like butter (?) throughout the whole bass playing community. And the ad will be used as a reference to any beaten Fender, or whatever.

Nail Soup Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) OK, it's not a disliked phrase so much as a misused word, but we are already including those so here goes.......... Saying "rift" instead of "riff" - e.g. 'I liked the guitar rift in that song.' (On balance: Actually, I'm pleased when a non musician at least tries to use some musical terms even if they don't quite get it right. So maybe I shouldn't complain. But I am anyway 🙂 ) Edited June 17, 2021 by Nail Soup 1 Quote

Cat Burrito Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 I personally cringe at basses being called she. I also find it bizarre that a dent by the Jack socket needs to be highlighted with "in no way affects the playability" 3 Quote
