Veggies. Veggies, veggies, and more fucking VEGGIES!

[Redstone]

Restaurant menus, cookbook recipes, cooking-show hosts, Jesus, Christ, doesn't ANYONE use the word VEGETABLES anymore?

It's NOT cute anymore! It's just goddamn annoying!

1. You're my hero!!

The word "fridge" also annoys me.

If Lelapin wants to iritate me, she says "the veggies are in the fridge"

[Redstone]

12. What's even funnier is when people misspell "fridge" as "frig." I've seen it.

[Critters2]

2. That's rite!!!

Good nite.

[Gormy Cuss]

5. Sleep tite.

:D

[Arugula Latte]

21. Don't let the bed bugs bight.

:D

[Redstone]

14. And don't forget to set the burner to "HI" when you're boiling water

for your tea in the morning. "LO" will never get that water hot enough.

20. When you lite the flame?

:evilgrin:

When I saw the thread title, I thought maybe you were on an annoying diet or something...

[Redstone]

23. Yes, you lite it when it's set to hi, then turn it to lo, especially at nite. No, it's not

any hatred on my part toward vegetables (I actually rather like them), just toward people who use that infantile word "veggies" to describe them.

31. i undrstnd.

[Gormy Cuss]

3. That's the way I feel about adults using mom and dad as nouns.

"Dad" is what you may call him, but he's your father. Your mom didn't go to the store, your mother did.

[Blue-Jay]

4. GET OFF MY LAWN!

[Redstone]

11. And take your veggies with you!

6. In my house, people who say 'veggie' once

get the glare of death. A second time, they are tossed out.

Equally annoying: HUBBY. I HATE THAT WORD.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

15. "Hubby" is death.

Worst. Abbreviation. Ever.

:scared:

[Ellen Forradalom]

32. Its only acceptable use

is in the proper name "Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby Ice Cream."

[Generic Brad]

7. I feel the same about mic and fridge

It's microwave and refigerator, damn it.

[Redstone]

24. Not to mention to "nuke" food in that "mic." And to "burn" a CD on your computer.

8. Reddie, Reddie, Reddie, you'll pop a vein.

[Redstone]

10. Or would that be a "veinie" I'll pop when I have a "strokie?"

I'll bet it will.

30. BTW, if you're taking I-84 West on your trip, I'm at the second exit in PA.

Pm me if you'd like a free lunch.

[I Have A Dream]

9. I swear to you that I was just thinking this today! I hate that word!

I'm a vegetarian, so it's something that is in my face even more than for most people. x(

[Redstone]

13. Yes. It's just childish...I think that's why it's so irritating.

16. VEGGIE_VEGGIE_VEGGIE (said in chearleader style chant)

[Redstone]

17. Thank you so much, LP! I was expecting a response like that, and was kind of

disappointed that I hadn't gotten it yet. I should have known I could count on you.

(And please, PLEASE forgive me for the 30-second vision I just had of you in a cheerleader's uniform, with the skirt and all, jumping up and down. Good God. I just could NOT help myself)

Hey, Mrs R was asking about you just the other day...how's everything going for you (and Rocket) lately? Well, I do hope.

18. when i went to dinner last night i was looking at the alcohol menu, it was all pictures

"Do you actually have a list with the names of the beer you carry or is it all point at the picture and nod?" "No sorry, just pictures".

[Redstone]

25. No shit? Pictures of what? The labels of the beer bottles? Tell me please, because I've

never seen that before. But it sounds like something I may see soon.

Redstone

[AlCzervik]

26. Pictures of the bottles. It looked like a kids menu only for booze.

[Redstone]

27. That's truly pathetic. And I'm POSITIVE that it's headed my way.

Redstone

[SoCalDem]

37. The McDonalds-ization of menus

Their cash registers even have pictures :grr:..

[jmm]

19. "Veggies" is right up there with "lite"

on my list of signs that somebody doesn't have a clue what good food is. I come from a long line of good cooks. My father and a few of his brothers are chefs. None of them need to use cutesy terms like EVOO to make food seem appetizing.

[Redstone]

29. Yes, you don't need to be a snob to object to any Dumbing Down of a particular

thing, food in this case..."Cutesy" annoys me. When applied to anything.

Redstone

[Arugula Latte]

22. I like the word "veggies." Cute 'lil veggies. They're just precious.

Yummy, healthy veggies. :9 So sue me.

[Redstone]

28. Yummy.

My point proven, in one word.

Redstone

[Ellen Forradalom]

33. Or "Yum-O."

If a bad word can be made worse...

[Ellen Forradalom]

34. I'll nuke my hubby in the mic and serve him with veggies from the fridge

to my mom & dad.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

35. What about a law-tay with veggies on the side?

:hide:

[cuke]

36. What's wrong with cute veggie names?

The last acceptable form of bigotry

[bridgit]

38. eat your creamed corn, grandpa...
