Pet peeves that should be pet peeves

[Darell_n]

When some protest group with unintelligible signs decides to road block Stoney Trail. If causing murderous rage is their goal, mission accomplished. Looks like every Mercedes, BMW, and luxury SUV from the NE is there.

I gotta go search for a Robot Chicken version to see if he gets cut into pieces and burned alive.

In either case, I'm curious to see the unredacted versions because, so far, this is a nothingburger.

Maybe because that “smoking gun” video turned out to be another nothingburger just like the 30+ other pieces of “evidence” that have been thrown out?

Sorry boys. It really is an awful word.

I've been sitting here for 5 minutes trying to figure out a synonym for that but i just can't find one.

Anyone got any better words to use? Asking for SKR.

Non-issue.

The problem is a nothingburger isn't a thing. If it was referring to a hamburger with nothing on it, just a patty and a bun, that would make sense. Something that seems important but actually isn't has nothing to do with hamburgers.

[The_Rural_Juror]

There's no ham in hamburgers either. Fucking hate that hamburger word.

They call those gourmet burgers. Hamburgers are for nothingburgereaters.

They're named after Hamburg, in Germany. Translated to English, Ham means Beef and Burg means City. When you're having a hamburger you're having a Beef City Sandwich.

Sandwiches are named after Earl Sandwich, who was a popular meal inventor back in the day.

Edit: If you're going to ask why we don't call them beefcityers, Germany lost two world wars so we give them hamburger so they have something to feel good about. Read a history book if you don't believe me, it's all in there.

Therefore nothingburger originated in the city of Nottingham.

Therefore nothingburger originated in the city of Nottingham.

Nottingham was originally called Nothingham, as a fuck you to Hamburg. That's what got the Kaiser so pissed off in 1914.

Beef City Sandwiches used to come on a kaiser roll but that was struck down at the Treaty of Versailles as a punishment for Wilhelm II acting fuckin tough and throwing his weight around. The Allies knew good meal when they saw one, but they had to take a stance on something so they changed the type of bun. Of course that led to Hitler ("Shitler" in official Allied documents), so looking back it probably would have been a good idea to leave well enough alone.

Fuck I love history.

I accept.
Hopefully it doesn't become as popular as that thing where media "journalists" put the word GATE after every fucking benign controversy because once there was a thing called Watergate, like 40 years ago.

Pizza Gate. Elbow Gate. Zipper Gate. Lack Of Original Thought Gate. Gator Gate. Broken Gate Gate. Gatineau Gate. Shawinigan Handshake Gate. Gates Foundation Gate. Gay Gate. Mary Kate Gate.

Mary Kate gate, man I'm glad that is behind us. I was shook.
