stick out your tongue

My new least favourite expression.... you ready, you ready, here it is.....

"food for thought"

... I don't know shit about shit, but boy it's food for thought, though... food for thought ...

Yeah, well, why don't you have a hamburger and actually stopping claiming to think for a bit, we all could use the break.

I really should be writing favourite expressions, but what can I say my head's against the wall right now. I'm a son of a bitch.

I hear green leafy vegetables are food for thought.

My least favorite: "Let me put it to you this way". It's always delivered in that " bask in the unadulterated glow of my superior wisdom” voice. I have also come to learn that what generally follows is bullshit based on unmitigated assumptions. It annoys me to the point of homicidal passive aggressiveness, but it’s food for thought, no?

Chew on this: I actually don't have anything to say. I just wanted to say "chew on this" for the amusement factor. Well, amusing to me, at least.

Oh Baswa and L.L.,

I'd be lying if I said never missed you.

Consistent with my overserious and unplayful nature... I actually have no problems with "let me put it to you this way", or "chew on this."

But "food for thought" hangs on the knob of a slmmed door.

The abridged of the origin of my distaste:

For example, she says to me: "Religious people are bastards, listen to what they have to say..... (stop)"

Then, "That's food for thought."

No, no, you've already ended the conversation, it's not food for thought, you're lying! don't tell me lies! you're mind's already made up it's over you're right there is nothing left to think about... no food for thought.

As I see it, at least with "it" (let me put it..) and "this" (chew on this...) there is a prospect of something to come.

"chew on that" however, is a stopper, but it is one that I am less averse to because it does not mask its obnoxiousness.

"chew on that shit face." Fine, its direct.

"food for thought though." That sounds smug to me.

À la défense de "it". Le rapport lui-même n'est pas blessant. Est la tonalité de la voix qui colore inévitablement le rapport ce qui je trouve l'offensive. Elle est suffisante et condescendante. Ainsi, peut-être ce que j'ai une question avec n'est pas la l'expression, mais le peuple qui tendent à employer l'expression.
