Also, "Best eva? Hellz yeah!"
Runners up are "gnarly" and "bitchin'" Bootylicious is okay depending on the context including pop report.
And anything that insults my intelligence. Which is everything. Though I did get a good chuckle out of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason.
Oh, and any auction descriptions spoken in a fake cockney accent.
Oh, and "the." Tired of that word.
Oh, I'm sure it's a great language an all and they're fine upstanding people, but I don't speak Mandarin. Last time, I thought I bid on a 1956 Topps partial set and ended up getting a plate of butter.
And what's with the background Muzak on the auction sites these days? When I'm trying to bid, I really can live without the symphonic version of U Can't Touch This.



Oh yeah, and actually put the item in a box or envelope. Don't just place a stamp and write the mailing address on the cabinet card. Or at the very least do it on the back. Twice that's happened this year.

R u making a mockery of this thread????
