DU "cliche" thread.

Post 'em here! Your favorite recurring lines, arguments, flames that find their way into nearly every thread on DU. Here are a some of mine:

1. "That is a straw man argument"

2. "This thread is useless without pictures"

3. "We've only hear that a brazillion times"

and the ever popular:

"Locking:flamebait"

27. Herk On!

I said that ONCE. Time to let go.

[ghostsofgiants]

52. But it was classic!

[Tyler Durden]

65. Maybe...but the "stupid thread" thread was personally offensive.

AND a "Cliche" by definition is used to the point of meaninglessness or to point of being trite.

I only used that once, so by definition, it's not a cliche.

[ghostsofgiants]

68. Dude, lighten up. You'll live longer.

[Nye Bevan]

[jonnyblitz]

32. "I just posted in GD' or "I just came from GD" or some variation,

usually posted by a person who mainly posts in the lounge who thinks any political disagreement is just horrifying , which, IMHO, on a board with this many members, is just plan silly. Sorry, but I find that the lounge can be much scarier and creepier because of the PERSONAL nature of the drama and nastyiness that occurs here as opposed to political arguments and flamefests in GD. :shrug:

[ghostsofgiants]

53. For sure.

Though if I ever have a gripe against GD, it's about how stupid people can be, ahah.

[regularguy]

33. Help me debunk this email from my freeper cousin.

41. "How do I post a pic?"

[bikebloke]

42. "Where's the outrage?"

Though I haven't seen this for a while...and I'm outraged about it.

[patcox2]

43. With every fibre of my being.

Note the english spelling of "fibre." This is the most common example of what I call the "Henry IV at Agincourt" writing style, exxagerated, histrionic, full of dramatic fantasies about being soldiers in the noble fight to preserve all that is good and true and righteous blah blah blah.

Only an english major is truly capable of mastering the style, because mastering the style requires first mastering the persona, the hyperventilating, histrionic, dungeons and dragons playing, Tolkein-loving, renaissance faire-going drama-queen.

Also known as "the full Will Pitt."

45. 'No sex threads'

50. Could this be the tipping point? Has he jumped the shark?

[Generator]

73. Blaming Ralph Nader

You know, he's the only reason Gore lost, and if Nader didn't exist and the Greens never existed all Democrats would have won huge and forever.

Or equally cliched anybody bringing up Kerry and then we have to read 97 posts saying "DAMN that Kerry he didn't fight the election results or the swift boaters and his IWR made him evil and he's a quitter and never again and fuck him". Four.two billions times that has been posted. (I'm always trying to sum up so we can move on but I know that's impossible on the internets since the only thing more satisfying than porn apparently is writing the same thing over and over and over and again) EVEN if you agree with it, do you want to read that again? Years of that, already.

The Nader one is old but I saw it again today.

Of course I hang out in GD so this is what I see.


STILL not tired of anything anti-Hillary at this point. Keep those cliche's coming. I have a high threshold for that apparently. :)
