WHAT is it that pushes women towards very specific majors? You don't see that in men.

And fore more, and more mundane things

This is a phenomenal app

That was a phenomenal presentation

I just got this phenomenal pretzel

I don't know whether its just the people who I work with adopting a corporate buzzword or if its becoming a more common adjective. It bugs me a little because I think of phenomenal as being more apt to describe something truly awe inspiring, not just a really good smoothie.

I think I saw it first on soledad brother's 'handle'. Now its everywhere. It pisses me off- it makes me (unfairly) identify a musician as an insufferable hipster douchebag when he has a grainy rounded corner video of him with the colors all soft and stuff. On r/folk it seemed every third music video was shot on 8 mm film.

I noticed this after going to Chick-Fil-A for a while. They never say "you're welcome" but instead say "my pleasure".

I know it's small but it look months to convince my gf that they were actually told to say "my pleasure" instead of anything else.

AMAZING! A guy plays the flute! AMAZING! I notice it more in places where people post things. Like, on youtube.

Something weird I noticed years ago was the emergency hotline number for the police or firemen, etc., is 911. I just find it odd that the number used for emergencies, that's been used for decades, is the same as the day the twin towers collapsed, 9/11. Am I crazy?

I've noticed a lot lately that the words ending with ight (night, light, right, etc.) have been replaced with ite (nite, lite, rite). This usually just comes up in ads though. Is there any reason or is it just my fear that Americans' spelling is going to shit.

Everytime I jerk off, and I get the finishing product out of the whole exercise, I pick it up and throw it onto my tapestry. I call it my come tapestry and it hangs in my room above my window. Been doing this for a few months now, the first time being in a hurry to get rid of the evidence. So I flung a giant load onto the tapestry and forgot about it until it happened again. Now it's just a habit. IA that weird?

I first noticed it/heard it two or three years ago through friends. Then I watched 30 Rock and notice Liz used the phrase in one of the earlier seasons.

When did you notice being "a thing" is a thing?

I've heard that socks are not to go with flip flops, but I've been seeing them more and more lately.

Honestly, I am not sure why it can't be a thing. What someone puts on their feet isn't really much of a concern to me, but others will go out of their way to point it out.

Alternate: going back to my city apartment, I'll be fine until the elevator doors open on my floor. Then suddenly it's a desperate race against time to unlock the door and get to the toilet before pissing myself.

This is probably the most obscure thing that will be posted here, but I have long thought that there is something similar about the two smells. It's not that the entire smell is exactly the same, but there's some chemical in both that has the same sweet, earthy smell to it.

And I'm more specifically referring to canned refried beans, pre-heating.

I feel like it exists but when I try to google it only chokers come up and that’s not what I’m looking for. I am an anxious person who often feels calm when pressure is applied to my neck much like asphyxiation. I’m sure you can imagine similar situations where this can be applied. It’s not pain just pressure. I have a necklace I like to wear because I find comfort in it’s weight but I was wondering if anyone knows of a product that is a heavy ish kinda discrete necklace (not a choker but it can be short) that may ease anxiety/apply pressure. I wanna know if something like this exists and where I might look for it?

My friend started doing this over text messing and it's been slowly driving me mad. It brings to mind the kind of false laughter you see coming from someone who is deeply sad. A laughter that never even comes close to reaching the person's eyes. Has anyone else seen this recently?

Whether at the grocery store, at work, at a friend's place, walking on the street or anywhere it seems like whenever I bump into someone or someone accidentally bumps into me, the first thing that comes to mind for me to say is "ohp, sorry" and as soon as it leaves my lips I hear the other person saying it back at me in overlap. Looking down awkwardly is usually involved. Is this a thing, is "excuse me" or "pardon me" dead, or am I just letting awkwardness overtake politeness?

I feel insane. Am I the only one that heard kids saying "though" at the end if every ducking sentence?

"That ass though!"

"Yo I want some BK though!"

If someone gives a speech on a topic I love I can't stand it, unless I am there to purposely hear it. Whenever a youtuber I like uploads a video that is close to home about something I love, I can't watch it. For example, I pretty much can't watch a video where a youtuber I know comes to Ontario(where I live). I don't know why!

Another interest of mine is squirrels, so if someone is to start talking about their love of squirrels, it is frustrating to me.

But none of this applies when it comes to a one on one conversation. If someone wanted to talk about any of my interests in person, even if they have the same interests, that would be wonderful. It's just something about articles, youtube videos etc., that I just cannot stand watching when they are talking about something that hits close to home.

Any ideas why? Am I alone in this?

Prego, totes and jelly are just a few shortened words that drive me up the wall.

If so, is there a male equivalent to being "catty" that is non-general?

I've seen some people wearing 90's-type cloths recently. I hear the 90's are coming back

I swear barbecue used to be the default.

I do this with my dog, and I've noticed that all my friends and family do it to animals too. A good example of it would be at the end of the Katy Perry video for the song Roar, when she holds up her cat and says "KIIITTY! OHHH KIT!" in a creepy but cute voice, and then kisses it's head.

Maybe I just hang out with some weird people, but I'm pretty sure everybody gets a crazy "pet voice" around their animals..
