Misanthropy FTW! That should be the TBBS motto.
Due to my looks, I often get mistaken for a woman, even with a beard mind you, which has made me feel really uncomfortable with people, and I think people don't really think before speaking. Anyway, this one time, I had just finished a long trip on a greyhound, and I went to use the washroom in the terminal. As I'm walking out, a guy was heading in, frowned with me and did a double-take and said, "Are you really supposed to be in here?"
I hate when I'm watching a movie and someone goes "Watch this!" What else am I going to do?
And why is it just one bra?
You don't happen to work in a circus, do you?
Don't tell me you're one of those who "shh" people during movies? If my mom were still alive, she'd be slapping you about now.
Actually, I don't entirely disagree with you, I just hate "shushers" myself.
But if it's everyday then there is no weekend!
And people still have to go to work.
When I hear “It's the three-month anniversary” or “It's the six-month anniversary” of some event.
There's no such thing, of course. The first anniversary takes place one year after the event. The second anniversary is two years after, etc. That's what “anniversary” means.
Well, sometimes a newlywed couple will say “We're celebrating our one-week wedding anniversary.” But that's because they think they're being cute.

Latin doesn't have a good way to represent fractions of an anniversary. You could just say "three months since the wedding," but three month anniversary means the same thing to the reader/listener. This is a case where the language has evolved past its origins. As a smart person on the boards has said, the rules of language are descriptive, not proscriptive.
I worked in the insurance industry and an annuity product we sold based dates on what the software company called "Monthaversary".

I didn't even take a stance on it! It was in reference to something sidious said, my mistake for not quoting it. I don't shush people, and I've been known to talk over movies (or more likely, laugh) but only if I'm in a crowd where it seems appropriate.
Oh and if anyone slapped me I'd slap them right back.
Obviously they mean they'd like that feeling everyday, and not literally have every day named Friday with nothing else changing. It's just a different way of saying "I wish every day felt like this."

Damn straight.
No. Thanks for being insensitive though. It's one of the reasons why I have huge self-esteem problems.

That's okay. Mom would have taken that as a challenge.
