Anyone else annoyed by the use of "said"?

[Guest FatKane]

"My friend Kevin and I went to the store today. I walk over to the counter while said friend checks out the newest issue of Hustler magazine. Said friend starts masturbating to pictures in said magazine as I look on, walking out of said store."

 

You might never see it used to that magnitude but just one 'said' is more than enough. Does this shit get on anyone else's nerves? It seems as though with the recent influx of Kevin Smith fans, 'said' has become as popular among geek hang-outs like this message board as http://goatse.cx (WARNING: Notorious Dirty 18+ Website, click link with caution). Is it really neccessary? Replacing 'said' in the above example with 'he' and 'the' works just fine and doesn't make it so obvious that you're trying to sound smart. If anything it makes you sound retarded. 'Said' annoys me to no end, and I vow to dedicate my services to eliminate it from every crevice of the World Wide Web, starting with TheSmartMarks. Join "Said Police," do your duty in eliminating said annoyance.

How pathetic. You take the time to register a fake username and then log in with it while you have to retype your login name and password, come into the thread to make your little comment, and the log out again before logging back in using your real account? You make me sick you son of a bitch.

[Guest Kingpk]

 

Wow.

Rather than getting worked up over a completely acceptable and gramatically correct use of the english language, I'd suggest concerning yourself over real problems facing the human race as we speak. These include war, government corruption, hunger, and, to a somewhat lesser extent, this damned difficult zipper on these pants I just bought. I should have opted for the button fly.

Hey. I remember this guy from IGN's wrestling board. Different people claimed he used their accounts for miscellaneous acts of trolling.

 

How surprised I am to see one of your first posts featuring a link to pictures of torn assholes, FatKane.

"What said you," the man said to the said man in black.

 

"What was that?" the man in black said, nodding his head towards the object behind said other man, "Look at that!"

 

"Well, that is a giant eyesore," the man said to the said man in black.

 

"You said it."

 

SAID

Yeha, that's right. Send the guy into a never-ending black dream hole of eternal said.

It doesn't bother me. But the constant use of 'M'Lady' in Star Wars Episode 2 made me crazy! I'm talking cuh-razy!

 

Nice to get that off my chest.

I think everyone knows not to click on SAID website.

Haha. He used it wrong and in a way that does not bother me in the least. Haha. Ha.

So, what is said website.

 

Also, what have Kevin Smith fans got to do with this? Take your persecution to NHB boyo.

Said thread is officially dead.

[Guest nl5xsk1]

I prefer "said" to "aforementioned".

 

That is all.

Nah.

 

"Aforementioned" owns.

Said link in the OP should have been replaced by www.tubgirl.com. Said replacement link is just as bad and not nearly as played-out.

I don't mind said device.

 

But I have noticed a rapid jump in the usage of definitely. As if everyone needs to strongly reaffirm what they just said, with EVERY sentence.

 

"So I definitely have to get my car washed."

"Yeah, this assignment is definitely a pain in the ass."

"Yeah, that apple pie definitely looks good."

 

Over and over and over and it doesn't stop. Also a problem with not stopping: people I know tend to not end their sentences and just leave me hanging.

 

"So are we going to the movies, or...."

"So should I skip class, or...."

 

Finally, we've all become narrators. I've been in a conversation where the other guy only said what I did, just adding "he says" to the end!

 

"So do you like Zeppelin?"

"'Do you like Zeppelin,' he says."

"Yeah I was just wondering, since you've got that Houses of the Holy shirt on."

"''cuz you've got that shirt on,' he says. Boo."

 

Then he throws in "boo" for no easily ascertained reason. Stupid kids.
