Here is something that I don't really get upset over, but it does sound odd to me.
Why do they now say that a basketball player who can score can "score the basketball'? Where the hell did that term come from?
"Scoring the basketball" means scratching a line on the basketball.

This is a minor annoyance...
I have a friend I meetup with about once a year from High School. She will randomly send me a text saying how much she misses me and we never talk anymore and asking me how I've been. So after I respond she just doesn't reply back.
It's happened 3 times in the last 5-6 months. It's like she's just checking to see if I'm alive.  Screw that!

The whole "that's a veteran play thing." You often see it with QBs. Dude will throw a pass out of bounds instead of forcing a throw, and we here how that's amazing for a rookie. Dude just played 3 or 4 years in college where they do that all of the time. I wish I could remember the play, but I just saw one in baseball where they said once he gets more experience he will do it correctly. It was a base running error where he didn't advance when another guy was in a pickle or something. Really? They don't do that in college or the minors?
You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American

Don't be a ninny......
Send her a dick-pic, next time.
That will make her shit, or get off the pot.

This has got to be the third or fourth straight miserable spring. Rain every single day. Temps in the 50s and 60s. Baseball games and practice cancelled more times than not. Never enough sun and warmth to dry them out in under two or 3 days, and by then it's rained again.

The hazard light people on snowy roads. WTF is your point? You think you are warning us of something?

You live in Charleston? Fantastic city.
I agree with the "scoring the basketball" one. It seems fairly new and it's obnoxious.
Might I add, it's also annoying how every single athlete these days uses the phrase "...working on my craft..." I don't know why, but it bugs me.

People who cut their grass/weed trimmer and leave the debris out on the sidewalks and neighbors driveways.
Especially the ones who let it grow way too long and do that.
