Does anyone else find it annoying when someone says "I'm a fighter!" or "I'm going to fight..."?

[LostInAnomie]

It's so overused by idiotic politicians and reality show contestants that it's pretty much meaningless. Seriously, what would be the alternative to saying that? "I'm totally pathetic" or "Fuck it. I give up."?

3. In Japan .. (and Korea) FAITO!!! AJA AJA FIGHITING!!

"Fighting!", "fight-oh" is the katakana pronounciation for ファイト, or FAITO.It basically means to fight, but usually not the physical with fists type of fighting. Fight more likely means to do your best,(Gambateyo!) such as in athletics, in school, or in your personal life.


Korean: Aja aja fighting!! is a term used in Korea and worldwide meaning simply, "Never give up, never stop fighting". It is generally pronounced aja aja hwaiting, however is commonly written in the English equivalent.

In a more casual meaning, it is the phrase that empowers people to keep on going forward, almost "looking on the bright side of life", looking for the "clouds silver lining" so on and so forth.
