Allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go.
Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.
I am in Bolivias to this fart sickle argument of yours.

I hope everyone caught the joke here. "All of a sudden" is, in fact, standard English (while the first two expressions are not). The "butchered expression" that one hears with appalling frequency is "all of the sudden," which is NOT standard English.
More people would likely say the expression correctly if they read books. It's usually (Did I say "always"?) correct in those.
You're explanation doesn't past mustard with me.

I always thought "the proof is in the pudding" was a special case of "the dog ate my homework" applied to geometry class. Or maybe a combined home economics/geometry class.
I have made a concerted effort to avoid reacting to the butchered expressions, but the penultimate one which flustrates me is when "laxidaisical" is used.

Another recurring utterance is "pigeon toed" instead of "pigeonholed"
Every conversation is an adventure. I just enjoy them now.
Heard any good ones?
Great topic for a thread, but I don't quite understand your reaction to your girlfriend. It seems all over, count to ten,I just enjoy them now, the sarcastic, today's gem".
It's no skin off my teeth if you don't like my expressions
I have a female friend who routinely says the phrase, "I seen that..." instead of, I SAW that.
I so want to correct her but I think since she's 55, she's set in her ways and it's a bad habit at this point.
I cringe every time she says it, and she's a professional. She came from rural Washington state and received a poor education.
Frustrating but I'm not going to broach the error.
