Words I Hate.



Nightlife.

Noun
Nightlife is all the entertainment and social activities that are available at night in towns and cities, such as nightclubs and theatres.

...

Nightclubs and theatres. Well there's two opposite ends of the fucking spectrum right there. Those are two things that really deserved to be lumped together. 'Cos they're gonna attract the same crowd of people. Nightclubs and theatres...
Nightlife.
This place has such great nightlife... so if you get bored trying to get to sleep don't worry about it, there's both nightclubs and theatres so you're bound to find something to do.

Nightclubs as well while I'm on about it. Nightclubs. Clubs exclusively for night time. They require that night prefix (It's not a fucking prefix!) to differentiate them from the many dayclubs I've accidentally stumbled into...
Theatres are open during the day right? So what are they then? They're not part of the nightlife. So they must be part of the daylife. Along with the dayclubs. And day spas! Which means that somewhere there are people chilling in a night spa...

It's just unnecessary. Telling me somewhere has nightlife is pointless. What you're really saying is that it has a theatre and one or more nightclubs. One or more nightclubs that are exactly the same as each other inside, play the same music, have the same knobheads milling round out front and smell of the same sick. With names like 'Yeah!' or 'Badgers' or something that ends in 'bar'. In Manchester alone, within walking distance of each other we had Kro Bar, Scubar, Zumeba and Bar Bar.
Kinda makes me hate the word 'bar'.

And I hate all the words for paint that's not exactly white but not quite cream. Loads of made up words. Like these... these are actual names of colours (for women and gay men):
Ghost White.
Old Lace? O_O
Cosmic Latte...

Cosmic latte!! WTF! How can you take a word like cosmic and ruin it by mixing it with a stupid word like latte. Latte which is some weird bastardization of milky.
"I'll have a skinny latte"
"A what?"
"Coffee, white, no sugar"

Bah.

Cosmic fucking latte. Who even gets to name colours? Wasn't that Adam's job? Or did he just name the animals and fuck everything else?
God: So Adam, I made like 50 shades of white. Wanna name them?
Adam: Fuck off.

Or something. That might not have been the actual dialogue. In fact probably not because they wouldn't have spoke in English.

Sooooo...

Don't say Nightlife any more. Or I'll introduce you to its opposite...
Nightdeath!

  2. btw "a skinny latte" roughly translates to german to have a skinny boner/woody. ;)

    Latte, die (female) = latch, long bar made of wood.

    Now imagine a "Cosmic latte"! O.O

    okay that was pretty premature but funny :D
