Cliches as old as time. Last Note of the summer. Share Friday, August 21, 2009 at 4:15pm
Here’s my opinion and observation on some of the most infamous cliches.
1. “Can we just be friends?”-When breaking up
I think despite its overuse, it’s probably among the most useful phrases ever. I know a lot of kids have problems with it, but i mean would you rather have the person say, “Can we just be awkward acquaintances and eventually never talk again?”
2. “How can i hit my children!?”- Horrified White Parents
How can you NOT hit your punk ass kids!? I mean…you gave them frkn life…and God knows some of these white kids need a beat down.
3. “Opposites Attract!”-Your best friend who wants to set you up with someone
I agree, i think we are attracted to people that bring something new to the table. But there’s a difference between having different preferences and different fundamental beliefs. For example different preferences would be if we disagreed on how many kids to have. Differences in fundamental beliefs would be if one of us wanted kids and the other was completely against having kids at all. As a side note, opposites may attract, but they rarely go the distance.
4. “You’re so shallow”-Annoying ass girls, ironically who are more shallow
Oh i’m sorry i don’t want to frkn marry every nice girl that exists. bitch.
5. “Life is too short to care what other people think”
I agree with the principle behind the phrase. But i realized that most people who use this phrase are party animals who don’t really accomplish anything. They in turn realize their error once they’re married and then go on to have brat kids who think the same way and spend the rest of their adult lives trying to tell their kids about the mistakes they made and how they learned from them. Wouldn’t it be easier to just care? Do you know how many times i’ve seen variations of thise phrase on girls’ Facebooks and AIM profiles? Like damm, we know that it realli means you’re a slut, you ain’t fooling anyone.
** This phrase is meant to be used by ambitious/passionate people who pursue their dreams. Not by skank-ass college girls who want to justify the fact that they’re epic failures**
6. “I’m doing it for the connections”- Kids who go Greek
What connections? I feel like kids who say this all assume there is some rich-ass CEO out there ready to hire them just because they were in the same Greek Organization. Greek Chapters that are considered cool are usually filled with under-achieving party animals and therefore rarely send out alumni of any professional value. The loser Greek Chapters at the nerdy Universities are the ones with any useful Alumni, and do you think they care? Just realize that all your chapter is gonna do for you is get u into parties, introduce you to new people and get you hook up opportunities. Damm you’re in College, have fun, put it on your resume, then be done with it when you graduate. But stop trying to fool yourself.
7. “I’ll do better next semester”- Every college student in history.
I feel like when a student can finally STOP using this phrase, he/she has succeeded.
8. “I’m all about personality”- Kids who lie to impress members of the opposite sex
Okay i’m gonna put you in a room with ass ugly but nice people. You can say this phrase when you start flirting with those people.
9. “I want a girl who eats a lot” -Boys who are sick of self-conscious girls
I understand how you guys feel. But seriously, this past year, I’ve met girls who have border line psychotic addictions to food. Can I just get someone who eats the right amount then stops??
10. “You don’t understand how i feel”- Angry people when they vent to their friends
Well first of all, how do you know? Second of all, even if i don’t, do I have to completely understand how you feel to comfort you? Third of all, if you know i can’t understand you, but that’s what you want from a person then why the hell are you wasting my time with ur issues?
11. “A woman’s place is in the kitchen.” -Sexist Men..which is most of us
Okay obviously, a woman is capable of doing the tasks that men do too, and i’m sure most men cud learn how to cook and wash dishes and all that. But lemme ask you girls this, would you rather paint the fence, mow the lawn, fix the plumbing and clean the garage? Or would you rather stay inside and wash the dishes and make food. Yea that’s right, make me a damm sandwich, wash my dish and fold my clothes. (Damm.. some girl is gonna shoot me)
12. ” There will always be someone else” -Friends who comfort you after a break up
Thank God. Indeed there will always be someone else. For you Chinese kids out there, there will literally, ALWAYS BE SOMEONE ELSE.
13. “I think kids who drink to get drunk are retarded”-Self Righteous fools
Well you fool, why else would i have started drinking this usually-disgusting-tasting
beverage in the first place? So you thought I started drinking it as a teenager because i enjoyed the taste? This is like saying you hate people who work out to get big. **I realize people start liking the taste after a while, this is just about why you first drink alcohol in the first place**
14. “I only drink liquor, I don’t drink beer cuz of the calories” - Smart girls
Seriously, I like the way you girls think. More beer for us, you girls get drunk faster and stay slim. We all win.
15. “Does this make me look fat?”- Girls
I mean…why do you bother asking us…you know we’re just going to say no on instinct
16. “All asians are good at math” -Amazed non-asian kids
We’re not naturally better at math. We’re just not as good at english/reading because our FOB parents cudn’t realli help us in that department, but they could help us with math cuz numbers are universal. And as an Asian who pretty much hates math…if you say this to me i’m either going to hang my head in shame or lash out in a bitter rage.
17. “I could kick your ass”- Every man says this to another man at one point
Maybe you could kick my ass…maybe you couldn’t…but life is just easier for both of us if we don’t try and find out.
18. “I’m not gonna drink when i go to college”- Most of my younger friends
You probably are. But here’s a way to try not to. When you go to parties…just hold the cup and don’t drink from it…or fill it with something else. If all they have is cans of beer, just hold a can of beer in your hand…pour it all out somewhere then go grab another can.
Have a great first semester everyone.
