Words you hate hearing

Discussion in 'Anything goes' started by Overrated, Jul 11, 2006.

  1. Not a word, but a phrase: "At this time." Redneck males use it to invoke a sense of formality and gravity.
    If I had a dollar for every time I heard that phrase at some sports banquet or awards ceremony, or in a high school class...

    "At this time, I'd like to announce..."
    "At this time, I'd like to recognize..."
    "At this time, it's time to..."
    "At this time, would ya'll please close y'all's books and get ready for the typo-laden, semi-coherent multiple choice test that I wrote up last night while eating a casserole with a shovel and watching a bass fishing show..."
    "At this time, that breakfast burrito I ate this mornin's fixin' to say 'adios.'"
