Dumbass Sayings “OD”

It's very easy to OD on bullets.

Kids on the street these days like using the term “OD” to mean “Overdoing” like “Yo, holmes. My mom is going OD on the fish stick casserole tonight!” This is all well and good except that “OD” is a medical term meaning “Overdose” and while that’s almost the same thing as “Overdoing” it’s clearly more dangerous. You never want to be in a situation where you find your girlfriend passed out in an empty room with a bottle of pills in her hand and run out of the room saying “My girlfriend is OD’ing right now!” Everyone at the party will say “Yeah we know, yo! That bitch is crazy!” This can be a very serious misunderstanding that eats away precious seconds when someone has overdosed on oxycodone. Because “OD” has been turned into a fun phrase that you might use to describe your biology teacher and his homework assignments, you lose the ability to use the word for its more serious meaning in a deadly emergency and that’s just stupid.

Dumbass Sayings: “Kicking Ass And Taking Names”

Always carry around a pen and
clipboard in case you need to
kick ass and take names.

Sometimes you’ll hear someone use the phrase “Kicking ass and taking names” to mean being tough or beating people up. The problem with this phrase is it only half makes sense. If you’re going around assaulting people that’s called “Kicking ass” but who really “Takes names”? When you finish pummelling someone’s buttocks with your foot do you stop and write their name down in a ledger? No! You run and get the hell out of there before the cops show up.

Taking names is a completely unnecessary step during the process of kicking asses. Odds are if you stop to take names eventually the police will arrive to not only take YOUR name, but take your ass to a holding cell. Plus, what are the odds the person you just beat up gives you their real name? Why would anyone do that? If someone kicks your ass, don’t give them your name. You’re only inviting future abuse into your life.

The only time this saying should actually be used is if you’re collecting signatures for a petition and influencing people to sign by physically assaulting them. Then and only then would this make a damn bit of sense.
