What's up with all this pre-(verb) bullshit lately? ARGH!! |

:argh:
:grr:
The "pre-wrapped sausage" thread got my ire up.
Everything exists in a state of being pre-wrapped, until it is actually wrapped.
Technically, one could even say that I, Rabrrrrrr, am pre-wrapped. Though I will probably never be wrapped, so that designation is likely in a bit of logical error.
And then there's pre-boarding, pre-paid, pre-shrunk, and on and on.
List your pre- findings that are utter bullshit. I need more fuel to feed the fire of my rage!

3. Yeah, pre-wrapped is pretty..... |
|
:grr: I agree.
Also, the fact that irregardless is now actually defined to mean the same thing as regardless, solely because people used it incorrectly SO MANY DAMN TIMES!

6. I think you are just using a pre-emptive argument.... |
|
And I think you are pre-judging the outcome.
And now, I will pre-pare my pre-buttal.
Here it is....

21. It's it my prerogative to come up with any word I want? |

Of course I'm not sure what a rogative is that would require something to be 'before a rogative'. I'm going to pretend I know, but that would presume I would tend something before I actually tended it, or sumed something before I sumed it. I need a drink.

Let's see...you're either getting on the airplane, or you're not. Maybe it's like my grandpa used to say when he and granny were 'preparing' to go somewhere.
Granny: "Marvin? Are you getting ready?" Grandpa: "Not yet wifey (I swear, he called her that.), but I'm getting ready to get ready."
I have no idea. :shrug:
