"___ fan coming in peace."

Generally you shouldn't be in the team's thread except for reading, unless it's offering the tiniest, humblest crucial tidbit once in a long while. In which case the the aforementioned saying doesn't need to be said and it only comes across as trying too hard.

I'm a meanie, I know.

Strawman. By far. Heard it once in my life until this site and even here it seems like it became a thing to say only about a year or two ago. Makes me want to vomit how often people say that..

That and hyperbole are thrown around by posters on this site like candy. I would almost think that there are a few posters that dont even know what it means and that they just throw those two words out there every now and then to make their arguments appear more intelligent.

Consistency and all its variants. Generally coachspeak for a player that if he doesn't have it -- he sucks. I don't like the usage because what team out there doesn't have at least one player that's consistently useless?

Homer. Fanspeak for my opponents announcer/commentator.

Personal pet peeve of mine but I can't stand when people refer to players by their numbers.

"Great play by 87 there"

Awful
Worst part is when they list their entire lineups by player numbers in GDT's.

Seriously makes me want to punch my monitor.
