May the 4th Be With You…*facepalm*

May the 4th be with you.

😐

Really, it sounds like it was coined by a 7th grader who thinks he’s way more creative and pithy than he really is. And I specify “he” because, while women use it, women generally aren’t this juvenile to actually make it up. You’re not cute or funny.

People who say this deserve a throat punch. It’s one of those phrases that was mildly cute and earned a chuckle… if not an outright eye roll… the first time you heard it, but grows stale and lame after that.

Of course, these same people will, whenever an annoyance is expressed, purposely do said annoyance… I’m looking at you, Jill… which just adds to the vexation factor. And they know this, of course. That’s precisely why they do it.  People are so special.

lame

2(of an explanation or excuse) unconvincingly feeble.

Look, it’s not original. Let it go. It’s been done to death. Let it die.

  1. Hmmm…I do not do this one anymore. It was cute, agreed. It got old, agreed. However, for some people they use it for their nerd day. Let them have their day! I am sure you have a phrase or two that others might do an eye roll at.
