Dumbass Sayings: “Cutting Off Your Nose To Spite Your Face”

Got your nose!
Have you ever heard the  saying “Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face”? Do people think before they say this stuff? Who the hell cuts their nose off in the first place? Most people can’t relate to this scenario. Plus, if someone’s going to cut their own damn nose off then I doubt they’re going to listen to your nonsense warning about spiting their face. Usually they’ll just do it then probably start running after you with the knife next. Don’t even bother talking to these people, just run. Then there’s the second part of this saying to contend with. Who spites their face? Why would you ever have a vendetta against your own face? Even if you did somehow despise your own face and be in some sort of bizarre feud with it, cutting your nose off would be a huge win for you. Presuming you got to a hospital fast enough and they could stop the blood loss, that would be You: 1 - Face: 0. Your face would be devastated! If you were trying to get back at your face for giving you mean looks all the time in the mirror then you succeeded by cutting your nose off so you SHOULD cut your nose off to spite your face. The real saying should be “Don’t spite your face.” But of course most people don’t need to be told that.

Dumbass Sayings: "Crazy Good"

Since when is being crazy
considered good?
As many of you know.the current slogan for Pop Tarts is "Crazy good." What a horrible slogan that is. First off, Pop tarts are good, but that's about as far as I would go in describing them. I would not add the adjective crazy to describe a toaster pastry. If you're going to label anything "crazy good" why not cocaine or bath salts? If you've ever had either of those then you know at the time you actually feel "crazy good", maybe more crazy than good when it comes to bath salts. Who legitimately eats a Pop Tart then chooses to describe it as "crazy good"? Someone who's never had food before maybe.

The other reason this is a dumb saying is because children are eating Pop Tarts, reading the box and accepting the term "Crazy good" as a real phrase. The proper version of this saying is "Crazily good". Education in America is bad enough without kids running around saying "crazy good". We need children to properly recognize adverbs and Pop Tarts are not helping.
