In golf....
* A scramble is where you and your partner(s) hit a shot. You choose the best of those shot, everyone drops a ball from there and plays your next shot from that same location.
* Best ball is where you and your partner(s) play you own ball all the way through the hole and then the team gets the score of whomever has the lowest individual score for the hole.
There's no such thing called BETTER BALL.
Is that so hard to understand?
In poker....
* Its a raise if someone else has bet and you are increasing the amount of the bet. Its a reraise, if someone has bet, a second person has already raised, and now your increasing the bet a second time.
In life....
"At the end of the day...." Gawd, enough already with this one.
" When you take the (xxxx) of the worlds" when people are talking about someone specific...as in " How will this affect the Tiger Woods of the world" or " We have to see the reaction of the Obama and McCains of the world" ...when they're really talking about Tiger Woods, McCain and Obama. Just talk about who the hell you're talking about...."of the worlds" should be used rarely and when your reference is someone who represents a larger segment of the population. Quite fucking ironicly, "Joe the Plumber" is the perfect example of someone who should have been " The Joe Plumbers of the world" but instead everyone got all focused on the actual and exact Joe the Friggin Plumber. BAH !
"It is what it is"...this put me immediately on super monkey tilt. This phrase might be the single greatest waste of breath in human history. It makes no contribution to the discussion in any way whatsoever. When is "it" ever anything else besides " what it is ?" Godamnit it makes me mad just typing it.
< oh I'm taking a break, but don't even think that I'm done with this >

Do you realize you've become an old Jewish woman?

Being surrounded by corporate speak all day, my pet peeve is "moving forward." Moving forward is what a body does in space. They really mean "IN THE FUTURE".
Argh!
At the end of the day the spices of the world don't give a shit.
I have a friend who I think of whenever I hear "I'm not a big fan of [xxxx]" where xxxx is an inanimate object.
I hear him screaming: "You can't send fan-mail to f-ing jar of mayonnaise!"
