Archdiocese of Washington ^ | 01-18-18 | Msgr. Charles Pope

[Fightin Whitey]

And open the package when makin’ bacon.

lol

[Salvation]

Another one of my pet peeves. Apostrophes denote ownership or contractions.

[dsc]

Things like “a 1,000 years” drive me up the wall.

I guess people think it would be read “a thousand,” but it would be read “a one-thousand.”

[morphing libertarian]

climate change

[Salvation]

Reached out ——— It’s been in church language for a long time.

[dsc]

Yes, I am aware that “toe the line” is correct.

I was complaining about “tow the line.”

[morphing libertarian]

ouch wth does that mean?

[Salvation]

I couldn’t care less.

[Larry Lucido]

Use of Latin for no apparent reason.

"Did you hear about the Pope's Motu Proprio?"

"No. How many miles per gallon does it get?"

[dsc]

I meant no offense.

[Salvation]

or “Can we agree to disagree?”

I’ve used that.

[clintonh8r]

One of the more idiotic ones, frequently spouted by clueless, self- impressed mediots:

“If both sides are unhappy it must be a good compromise.”

[morphing libertarian]

NP I didn’t take it that way Freep on!

[liberalism is suicide]

The phrase that most bothers me, when used in a casual thoughtless manner, is “Oh, My God”. Said by people who don’t give God a second thought.

[subterfuge]

“Reach out...”

[huckfillary]

Irregardless

To be honest...

[subterfuge]

“When you think about it...”

[subterfuge]

That’s a whole nother story.

[SaveFerris]

Perception is reality. One of the most ridiculous phrases ever.

They are often two different things.

If one needs an example, then the perception of Barack Hussein Obama is reality (but only to liberals).

[Impala64ssa]

“I smell what you’re cooking”
“You know how I roll”
