decimate used to mean “reduce by 1/10th” until everyone started using it to mean “basically killed everyone.”

being “petrified” didn’t have anything to do with being scared until people started using it that way at some point relatively recently.

I had a high school classmate who would often bring up similar word usage changes.

I wonder whatever happened to Bobby Queer?

This hits close to home, because my interest in this thread has been decimated and now I am petrified to even open it. I'm sure there are plenty of those who align with me. Our trauma bond is forged in a bizarre combination of masochism and disgust; but we stick together, as blood is thicker than water. 

Birds of a feather flock together, really.

Myles Garrett Speeding Tickets

Myles Garrett was cited for speeding at 100 mph in a 60 mph zone on I-71 near Strongsville, Ohio, just after 2 a.m. on August 11, 2025, hours after the Cleveland Browns' first preseason game. This incident marks his eighth speeding citation since joining the Browns in 2017, with the most recent prior ticket occurring in 2022. Garrett was issued a $250 ticket and is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday, August 28, 2025, though he can pay the fine to avoid attending.

  • The speeding citation was issued by Strongsville Police on I-71 south near Drake Road.

  • Garrett was driving a gray Ferrari at the time of the stop.

  • The incident occurred shortly after the Browns' preseason game against the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, North Carolina.

  • This is Garrett's first speeding ticket since a single-car crash in 2022 where he flipped his Porsche.

  • Garrett has a documented history of speeding violations, including multiple tickets for driving over 100 mph, with a notable instance in 2021 where he was cited twice within 24 hours for speeds of 120 mph and 105 mph.

i keep seeing this posted- the inevitably of quinn ewers becoming the starter for the dolphins.


What the fuck are you talking about?

For someone that flails around manically, bitching and moaning about hyperbole and mischaracterizations and others arguing against things that weren’t said… you know what, forget it Jake, it’s Derkatown.

You should get down on your knees every day and thank Charlie Strong for roughly buttfucking the realization into you that you can, in fact, be wrong on the internet. This personal rock bottom might have actually turned your life around in positive ways. I hope you send him a Christmas card every year. 

Wasn't even close to the first time I was wrong on the Internet, and not even the most egregious example.

Somewhere out there there's a post I've made, on the internet, where I decried the direction Id Software went with Wolfenstein 3D, making overblown "tech demos" instead of "good gameplay" games like Commander Keen.

It's hilariously bad in retrospect.

BUT... the Chuck Strong Experience broke my "trust the corches!" nonsense for good. I was that guy from Mackovic up through Strong. Even now, while I like Sark and think the program is in the right direction, I'm going to calibrate my enthusiasm.

you’re right, we all haven’t seen the 50 posts in this thread about how tua is going to get hurt, how zach wilson sucks, and how quinn is going to be the starter at some point this year. i did just make that up.

lol at hank hill trying to refute my point and instead making it for me. Texas fans trashed the likes of von miller and myles garrett as pro prospects because they went to a&m. those same people then turn around and predict pro success for quinn ewers. why hank hill keeps making these posts as if they don’t 100% bolster my argument i have no idea, but it’s funny nonetheless.

I wasn’t refuting your point. The point is just so blatantly obvious that even bringing it up is idiotic and weakens whatever else you’re trying to say.

Hey...I thought of another phrase that originally meant something different but evolved to mean something different due to usage. "Blood is thicker than water" originally meant that those who shed blood together, like in a war, have a bond greater than those who merely shared a bond of being born from the same mother (the "water" of the womb). But dumbasses, probably those who never experienced bloodshed, misconstrued "blood" to mean blood running through their veins, i.e. their genetics. So that's what it means today.

I'll give you a 2 for 1 that I frequently see idiots mistake for the other. 

Red herring which is to bring up a subject or item to distract folks from the primary subject and albatross which is an inescapable historical burden on someone, most commonly psychological. 

Examples always help.

AnotherLawyer is using this idiom discussion as a red herring to move thoughts away from the Surly albatross. While I applaud his efforts, he should bite the bullet, stop beating around the bush and quit crying over spilled milk.

Usenet itself, baby! In the days before the Eternal September. Command-line interfaces to discussion groups... I used rn at the time, later the superior trn.

And IRC of course.

One of my business connections at a well known university was a primary developer for Gopher. 

Oh, I also ran a single line, single node "bbs" at 300 baud.

Nerd gauntlet thrown! 

Also, I think Ewers will be starting at some point this season. I mean, he owns a car right? Gotta start it.

I really liked Ewers, Major, Simms, Colt and Sam. I absolutely loved Vince Young. Does that make me racist? Or is that the exception that proves the rule? 

How do you feel about James Brown & Tyrone Swoopes?

To make him less threatening to the targeted consumer.

What do they teach in the business school & communications school these days?

Ok Mr. Receipts. Go find the 50 posts saying it’s inevitable that Ewers starts this year.

OR, you can say “actually I was being hyperbolic and exaggerating shit to try and make a point even though I’ve whined a bunch about other people doing just that”

Anyone want to take a stab at the sunk cost fallacy and how it applies to Sark’s usage of Ewers at the back end of last season and the playoffs?

I don't know what he was thinking, but this seemed possibly to figure into it.

No but seriously, how many games do you think it will take Quinn to pass up Zack Wilson on the depth chart? It is only a matter of time.

You’d need a Tua multi game injury and then at least one game for Wilson to shit the bed. Could be week 3
