This Phrase should be banned from saying out loud>
 
.
.
I cringe every time I hear it on TV from some fans in the Pro golf gallery.

"IN THE HOLE!!!"

I can think of many other phrases used in the USA that are overused and cringeworthy. This one tops my list - it's SO 2005...
.
.

alwann 07-03-2021 08:33 AM

Cringing
 
I hate it especially when it is yelled when a pro tees off on a long par 5.

However, I don't hear "you da man" as much these days. Maybe because they are "woke" people and believe the player is non-binary.:ohdear:

I love that saying.....;)

Bjeanj 07-03-2021 09:41 AM

I only say it when I’m making fun of the people on tv that are saying it.

Calisport 07-03-2021 09:53 AM

Ditto
 
I’ve said it also just making fun of pro tournament audiences when a guy makes a perfect drive.

karostay 07-03-2021 10:30 AM

Who realy cares

mikreb 07-03-2021 10:43 AM

I say it every time I hit the ball. The ball rarely has a positive response.

Bjeanj 07-03-2021 02:51 PM

Yep.

Chi-Town 07-03-2021 03:36 PM

Don't hear You da man! any more (thankfully.)

Boomer 07-03-2021 04:09 PM

Not a phrase but a word that has been misused for a long time. . .

“Awesome” — a word that should be reserved for spectacular sunsets, starry nights, the ocean, the Blue Angels flying over, and. . .fill in your own idea of awesome. BUT we all know that it is not for the silly, meaningless use of that word we hear constantly.

Lately though, “awesome” seems to be giving way to “perfect.”

I had to call in an order for shoes recently when my online connection was not working. You will be impressed to know my order was “perfect.” (I am so “awesome.”)

“Perfect” is for SAT scores (not mine) or for getting just the right haircut or for finally getting the balance of vinegar and sugar like it needs to be in my German potato salad. (Adding extra bacon goes without saying, of course.)

I am always polite to these people who do not know any better and are just trying to be nice when they throw around “awesome” and “perfect.” But they have no idea how close they come to an impromptu vocabulary/word choice lesson.

Teenagers and Millennials are the most likely to use those two words habitually. I expect that. But there comes a time to age out of the misuse of “awesome” and “perfect.”

PGA tour should have bouncers walking with the camera men because the only reason those morons say that is to be heard on television. They should rough them up a little, drag them close to an alligator (if possible) if not just hold their head under water for a few seconds, and then if they want to stay duck/duct tape their mouth shut!

Billy1 07-04-2021 05:59 AM

I yell "get in the hole" when playing cornhole.

OMG really? That’s what bothers you in life?

GOLFER54 07-04-2021 06:30 AM

I thought it was used in sex.

banjobob 07-04-2021 06:41 AM

I also wonder who the moron is that yells that stupid phrase and why he yells it .

nick demis 07-04-2021 06:54 AM

I would be happy if we ban the word "woke" and everything that relates to it.

Leadbone1 07-04-2021 07:01 AM

Banned by who? I think this is still the United States of America to most of us. Get some counseling!

I just substitute the word "accountability," which is usually more accurate and descriptive.

>>>>>>>>>

as usual here on ToTV, some folks take things so seriously, find fault, or simply MUST provide 2 cents.

It's an innocent observation folks, meant to be lighthearted. yikes.

Post was meant to instill others to vent re phrases they may dislike in life...

One of the 'bennies" of not watching or playing golf is that I have never heard that expression said anywhere.
Life is bliss.

Two Bills 07-04-2021 08:49 AM

"Whatever!"

Is that a Brit' thang?

beeneyra 07-04-2021 08:54 AM
