neepheid Posted June 16, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Are you reading my mind ? 🤣 Wait a bit and that ad will be online... It's a promise I made. 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail Soup Posted June 17, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted June 17, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate it. I worked in a shop with a lovely bloke, but he was full of cheesy lines… ”congratulations on your first guitar/bass/trumpet - now you have to name her…” 🤦🏻♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddo Soqable Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 "Mojo" should be banned, it's the sawn off shotgun of naff guitar selling gobbledygook.. means precisely nothing but implies ( to me) damaged, fkd, or knackered ... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
