Busting a Term
"Let's do the time warp again!.... It's just a jump to the left!"
In my travels, I have yet to see the "Rocky Horror Picture Show." I don't know why I mention this, other than, this is something that one would expect a geek like me to do. For that I apologize. Perhaps one of these days I shall get my ass out there and have the experience. Anyway, I just thought I would mention it. You see, I am trying to spring board the creative process by bringing up a stupid detail as my mind works quickly to find something to go gangbusters on. But, I should mention that I hate the word "gangbusters." Whoever coined that term should be dragged out in the street and shot. Then every piece of material ever written that uses the term, including this blog, should be burned in effigy. No more mention of the word "gangbusters." It must go now! Nobody should ever, never, ever go gangbusters on anything. First of all, what the hell does that mean? Gangs go buster? No, they just go and do drive by shootings over turf. And, sometimes they wear the same clothing and hats in funky ways to show belonging. AND, they also mull about doing "business." I don't see how "busting" even fits into any of that. Nobody calls that "busting." We call that "breaking the law" and "ruining it for everyone." So, this kitschy term has no relevance, other then to make one sound "cute." I hate the cute shit like nobody's business. Cute should remain in just two realms - family photos and greeting cards. I expect to see cute there. As for cute anywhere else? NO! NO! NO!
I will allow the use of the phrase, "can of whoop-ass." At present, I only find that term mildly irritating. I can only surmise that my reasoning comes from the fact I haven't heard anybody use that phrase in awhile. It has fallen on my list of "peeves." but not "gangbusters." Folks, just stop using that term. Oh, and "Yuppers." Gosh, I hate when somebody answers with "yuppers." "Hey, Person's Name! You finished?" "Yuppers!" OHHHHHHH!!!! Come on! Why can't you just say, "Yes!" Simple, and less syllables. No, you have to use "yuppers" and sound like a complete wuss! I shiver at the mere thought of being answered with the term "yuppers." I remember being instant messaged by this lonely loser way back when. I was just laid off and bored shitless. I spent some time in cyberspace to kill time while I tried to figure out what the hell I was going to do next. It would so happen, as I sat there in cyperspace pondering new directions (kind of what I have been doing lately), these lonely college kids would often pop in and say, "hello." There was this one guy who I shall call "Yuppers Guy" who had maybe three words in his vocabulary. Two of those were "Yuppers." First, don't IM strangers. You don't know who that person may be. Second, don't IM me and then use "Yuppers" as a response to my simple questions! That's what he would do. "Not going to class again today, Yuppers Guy?" "Yuppers." "Bored, Yuppers Guy?" "Yuppers." "Shouldn't you be working on a paper, Yuppers Guy?" "Yuppers." "Not going to do that though, Yuppers Guy?" "Yuppers." "Probably going to flunk out of college, I think, Yuppers Guy." "Yuppers." "You are a loser, aren't you?" "YUPPERS!" "Got a thing for the family dog, I reckon." "Yuppers!" God, I wanted to reach out with cyber-hands, and cyber-strangle the living cyber-bejesus out of this loser! At the time, I had no room to talk. I was out of a job and pondering. But, now I can! And, I just did. However, what killed me about that whole experience? That bastard got me to using that term! I ... errrrgggg. I .... sigh. Damn him! I have long since stopped, but for a while there I was that "yuppers guy" and wanted to cyber-strangle my own self. I am sure he's still out there to this very day "yupping" it up with some poor victim who can only just block his sorry screen name, that is until he figures out the new one. It's only a matter of time. People, like him never go away. They morph and use different annoying terms.
And when they come my way? I am sooooo going to go all gangbusters on their asses with a can of whoop-ass as I call out my mighty battle cry! "YYYYYYYYUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSS"
That'll show 'em!
Peace out! --- Oh, that one is also starting to get mildly irritating. Poop.

Let's add "Nuff said!" to that annoying list of terms... and, I actually used that the other day. For that, I am ashamed. Very, very ashamed.
