"uber" in the new "bodacious"
lately, in message boards and blog sites around the globe, the term "uber" has been being used ad nausem. major writtetn publications and
television magnates have done mind-numbing amount of research and investigation, only to come to one conclusion.... it's niether word nor
suffix.
i distinctly remember using words like "gnarly" and "tubular" when tthose words were cool, and i've been ashamed of it
ever since.
all i'm getting at, is that i f'ng hate "uber" anything. "uber" needs to die.
FOCUS:
is there a word or phrase that absoutely makes your blood boil? how? why?
Amid the chaos of that day, when all I could hear was the thunder of gunshots, and all I could smell was the violence in the air, I look back and am
amazed that my thoughts were so clear and true, that three words went through my mind endlessly, repeating themselves like a broken record:
you're so cool, you're so cool, you're so cool. And sometimes Clarence asks me what I would have done if he had died, if that bullet
had been two inches more to the left. To this, I always smile, as if I'm not going to satisfy him with a response. But I always do. I tell him
of how I would want to die, but that the anguish and the want of death would fade like the stars at dawn, and that things would be much as they are
now. Perhaps. Except maybe I wouldn't have named our son Elvis.

"Know what I'm sayin'"?
When white people try and talk like they are black. That is annoying.
However, I very much disagree about thinking "gnarly" and "Tubular" are words to be ashamed of. I think they were great words
of their time. And they sound even cooler now (to me, anyway). Also, can't forget greats like "radical", "bodacious" and
"cowabunga". There are more, I just can't think of them.
EDIT: All those "fizzles" and "izzles" drive me nuts, too. They were funny at first because Snoop was the only one doing it.
Now everyone is talking like that.

some of you might not yet be familiar with the term "metrosexual" yet, but i hate it.
(met.roh.SEK.shoo.ul) n. An urban male with a strong aesthetic sense who spends a great deal of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle.
A metrosexual is a clotheshorse wrapped around a dandy fused with a narcissist. Like soccer star David Beckham, who has been known to paint his
fingernails, the metrosexual is not afraid to embrace his feminine side. Why "metrosexual"? The metro- (city) prefix indicates this
man's purely urban lifestyle, while the -sexual suffix comes from "homosexual," meaning that this man, although he is usually
straight, embodies the heightened aesthetic sense often associated with certain types of gay men.
andrew anthony, the host of tv's "matchmaker", is a metrosexual.

No, please don't.
Dude, Christopher Reeves rocks. You can lick my ass if you don't like him. The guy was major talented before his accident happened, and now
he's fighting something that many people have died from.

i knew someone would carve on me for the christopher reeves commment. i guess stepping on toes is just what i do. proatgonists, meet the
anti-hero.
in my defense, christopher reeves recieving any form of accolades because of his contributions to parapalegia recovery research are the most selfish
thing possible, pretentiously passed off as benevolent.
you mean to tell me that if you lost the use from your waist down, and had millions of dollars to contribute to finding the "cure" for
this, you wouldn't "donate".
shouldn't we be patting on the backs of people who donate to said funds who have nothing to gain from it?
let's see superman donate to worldvision or the cancer society, then i'll give him his due.

I got to admit I don't like this word UBER that everyone uses. I don't get it. Probably 'cause it makes me feel old.
I think there is a south park episode with Chris Reeves is guest starring and he is an evil bastard who eats alot of baby feetus' to grow
strong. It was really fucked up. I guess Matt Stone and Trey Parker don't like him much, either. Unless this isn't even a south park
episode that I am thinking about...

Baby feetus' eh?
I don't get you Dobs. That's your new name from now on. Lets say that you were dying from cancer and you have a fair amount of money. Your
saying that you wouldn't contribute one dollar of that money to help fight cancer research? Yes, I know that they are two totally different
things, but you have to realzie that what Mr. Reeves is doing is completely right.
Why wouldn't you donate money to help find a cure for others? He's saying that he wants to be the last person that suffers from this
disability.
I dunno brother, untill you knock all of that dumb shit out of your head, I stand by my previous PM. "Go home, I don't like you."
Sincerly your friend,
Chris (PIS)

Ouch.
I think Mr. D sounds better 'cause it kinda sounds like mystery...which he kinda is. Dobs is good, too.
On Mr. D's side I don't think he ever said it's bad to donate money. It's just not quite as admirable when you start donating
money to a disease as soon as you get diagnosed.

what i was getting at, is that everyone is afraid to say what he's doing is NOT as benevolent as it's being made out to be.
why are they afraid? i dont know..... but i have my guesses.
i hope you've seen my point. i dont intend on changing your mind..... i just hope you might see the other side of the coin while it's
flipping in the air.

Isn't uber German, or derived from a German word? I know most people use 'uber' to suggest something is ultra. People use other
German words like Fubar too .

fubar is an acronym for "f**ked up beyond all recognition" created for VFR radio transmissions, and popularized by rednecks.
if you cant tell i agree with you in disliking that term.
