you must be a troll.

2) You're showing too much concern. You must be a concern troll.

[SoDesuKa]

38. Something Positive About the NRA

Sorry, I can't think of a single thing positive to say about the NRA. Except that it's an anagram for RAN, ARN, NAR, and ANR. Is that good?

[graywarrior]

8. Free the duck

[chknltl]

37. No No No! A thousand times NO!

There are far too many threads discussing where to eat, where not to eat, with whom to kiss while eating: CHICKEN!

Now far be it for me to be the sensitive type here but why chicken, why not duck! Ducks are bad,ducks are meaner, ducks will turn your pond green, ducks vote republican!

On the plus side, ducks taste better, they have better fat content and did I mention they taste better? ' (OK, well it bears repeating).

No, do not let that duck go,. There are a thousand duck recipes out there....pick one!

[dixiegrrrrl]

[taterguy]

15. Lighten up Francis

[EastTennesseeDem]

16. "I am a douchebag."

[Populist_Prole]

[JitterbugPerfume]

18. you owe me a key board

or

Ding ding ding we have a winnah!

[JitterbugPerfume]

19. Link?

[Amerigo Vespucci]

22. My favorite people on DU are the ones who ask for a link without actually posting "Link?"

They'll put something in the subject line that is a response to the post and then in the comments write "By the way, you need to add your link" and I always add it and thank them, because the people who simply post "Link?" almost suck as much as the people who post "Dupe" and then post a link to some other thread on DU.

Almost as much.

Link police and dupe police, the Eddie Haskells of DU.

[NYC_SKP]

20. Practically any tale about an encounter in a store.

The type that involves telling someone off...

[IndyJones]

23. Hahaha! I agree! Especially when it comes with extreme

moral indignation. "I taught that young whipper snapper a thing or three!"

[NYC_SKP]

26. There was one posted yesterday, had to do with a Lowe's sales person.

The OP even wrote:

Needless to say, I totally skewered the asshole salesperson.

The whole thread is a hoot:

[pipi_k]

31. #6 Copying someone else's idea

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018168363#post14

[pipi_k]

24. Yeah, definitely

#3...Kick this thread if you...

And the one that always made/makes me shake my head and think "douchebag" is...

"PLEASE DU THIS POLL!!!"


Ummmm....why?

"Because we have to show our support!!!"

Ummm...why?


For all the polls that have ever been "DU'd", has the world become a better, more peaceful and compassionate place?

Nothing but a time-waster, IMO.

[RZM]

44. LOL, I forgot the poll one

What's the point of swamping a poll? The point of a poll is to see what people think, not to see who can best organize a response to it.

[7wo7rees]

27. Douchay

[femmocrat]

28. 'Nice post, Hitler" -- I hate that one.

[Kaleva]

32. "Yawn!"

[ohiosmith]

33. Posting in Meta about douchebags calling other douchebags douchebags!

[LibDemAlways]

34. "Screw you." (I was on a DU jury the other day, asked to

rule on a post that included that remark.) The vote to hide it was 5-1.

[SnohoDem]

35. Robb is a dingbat!

I am not a douchebag, I'm a douchenozzle. I wanna be where the action is!

[MrMickeysMom]

36. "Not Playing"...

No, I don't mean that literally that I'm not going to (duh), but I find it a highly douche-baggable reaction to some hard questions I've wanted answers to at times.

[Shankapotomus]

39. "I gotta work out"

"My biceps are gettin' flat."

[HopeHoops]

40. "What's the going rate for hookers these days?"

[Jamaal510]

41. "Are there any Republicans on here?"

[LynneSin]

42. You don't like my 'ding ding ding..'

I didn't know I was a douchebag

[Bucky]

46. It was funny years ago, as a novelty.

But it's misused in GD to the point of being trite. Like "Dyn-0-mite!" as an interjection of exuberance, it's long since been co-opted by the legions of smugdom.

[RZM]

43. 'This [blank] says it all' and 'Turn on [MSNBC host] right now!'

Not that there's anything wrong with the people who say these things, just personal pet peeves I guess.

A picture rarely 'says it all' and I don't need to be told to watch a program. I know it's on and if I want to watch, I will

[mucifer]

45. Yeah that "turn on Rachel right fugging now" crap. I don't have cable.

and they don't describe why I should turn on Rachel's show.
