Sorry to put you down Jerby but language is not a solid, unchanging thing. Phrases are not about formal structures but common use. Look at the use of the word "Hello". If it is not understandable to you or acceptable to you then this is of course entirely your own prerogative but also a deficit to your range of ability to communicate with the many others who do understand and use such conversation. Any brick walls we choose to create for ourselves may keep the unwanted out but also keep you isolated within. How it is in anyway actually offensive; other than to your own sense of standards? Also; that you have any capability to stamp out a phrase is in itself (quite literally) retarded both to the natural progression of evolving communication and to your own ability to communicate.

I always get this lady calling me up in the morning asking to leave a message for the doctors at the surgery where I work, without fail the computer goes slowly and I habitually say "Bare with me." Everytime she replies "Well put some clothes on" Its a pet hate phrase for her but she is terribly polite about it and we often have a chuckle; for me mostly because I start to think "Bear with me? I wish! Grrr". Its nice to have regular interaction with patients and a bit of banter - more human/careing.

Heh, that's actually funny. You've got me thinking now.
I mayn't be able to change or eradicate it, but what if I change the response to it? Something that makes it less hostile.
What if, in response to such an unfortunate phrase, I say "I'd rather have a cookie." Or something dumb like that... Then it gets me thinking about how much my fat ass would like a cookie. Or a cheezburger! Is that an improvement?

How about "Only one! Stingey!" (Do you guys use "Stinge" as a word or is that too English?)
I realize you are upset and that it's not your fault. Nor is it my fault that you are on the rag. So instead of coming at me for nothing perhaps you could try what my ex girlfriends have done. Pick up some midol and some tampons, I mean it's worked for them, perhaps it could be of some assistance to you as well.
These two post made me lol.
I'm sorry I snapped at you like that. And for calling you names. Please forgive me.
And welcome to the group.

Negged and reported. Space mit.
Without an "e"? Americans and your crazy newfangeled spelling rules going mad with our soverign language - still we made the whole language up nicking it from the cheese eating surrender munkeys and I-ty`s!
In Bangkok the women would warm up with ping pong balls. Then they'd shoot darts at objects, or boards where people would make bets and the girls got a portion of the winnings and extra tips based on her accuracy. That was back in the 90s, so who knows what they're doing now.
Hums the theme to Superman during planks and YTWLs. Now that you've read this, you will too.
All right boys, now watch how this is done. The key is to put it all in your groin and your back.
Take your legs totally out of the equation. Lift with your lower back in a jerking, twisting motion.

Omfg!! That's funny as hell, I'm dying here... Thanks Nick. That goes right along with the comment I just got at work tonight. An elderly gentleman asked" , excuse me young man, can you tell me where your anus is"? As I stared at him for a minute I responded, " If your looking for anise , it's in aisle 16".
My New Years resolution: I am choosing not to be gay or should that be a Christmas wish hmmm, I'll keep you posted if either works out.
ROTF!
hey maybestreight or what ever your name is... Maybe you'll get a little pussy for christmas and you can figure it out then,
so you know what you'll be sticking it to, bi-new years eve...
or better get a belt buckle made of missile-toe and see who's the best kisser...
Here's a peace offering. This video features three things many gay men love: Betty White, musclemen, and (of course) CHEESECAKE! As always, I'm not crazy about the song, but there ya go and Bob's your uncle.

Wow! you spoiled my Christmas weekend outfit. Although I'd be wearing a jockstrap for sloppy wet kisses
I used to have the coolest work-out partner ever. He could lift a lot more than me but I had better stamina but over all we were both dedicated. He went on to become a green beret and is somewhere in the middle east. Called me once on a military phone. I wasn't attracted to him although I think most gay guys would be. But he was my trophy lifting partner and my stature to the other bro's at the gym were raised because of it.
It didn't hurt that I was also kind of at my lifting peak.
You can, and need to find a ground that you know you are suppose to stand on.. hence, stand your ground, this is the place where you know everything is as it should be for you. If you stand in a place where you know in your heart things are wrong, most things around you will never be right.
