You're probably the right person to ask -- what the heck is "Maundy Thursday"? I know it's the Thursday before Easter, but what's a maundy?

It's the anglicization of mandatum novum or "new commandment" given by Jesus on the Thursday before the crucifixion. See John 13:34. It's come to mean the ceremonial foot-washing that occurs at high-church Christian commemorations of Holy Thursday (i.e., Episcopal, Anglo-Catholic, and Roman Catholic). You don't hear a lot of Baptists use the term.

You didn't ask, but "shrove" comes from "to shrive" or to release from one's sins.

ETA: Drat.

I advised against posting those here, but I'm not sure anyone is rushing to steal your picks, so I guess it's okay. I think I also advised to include info about ones I might not know (in this case all of them). I'll Google all of those names, but you haven't helped me out here much, man.

[Ps. if your wild card pick is not number 10 on your list, please PM me to tell me which one it is.]

I'm ashamed that such a promising thread bearing my moniker has disintegrated to this.

"Happy x-mas" is also annoying as shit, as is"how's it hanging" (a guy in my office actually uses that phrase).

Does he answer the same question (or the reflective, "Fine, and you?") with "A little to the left/right."? Because that's about the most annoying thing I can think of.

Oh, and here's your t-shirt.

No.

And I hate people who tell me to smile. I used to work with this woman who would say "Smile! I'll pay for the stitches!". She's dead now.

Worse yet: the canned response. Like, "Low and to the left."

I've moved on. Now, its "the judge fucked me up the butt and called it roses."

When this happens, do you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and think, "look at that girl with practically no hair and great big glorious tits"?

this reminds me of one: I worked with a guy once who said every single freaking day whenever somebody made a Dunkin Donuts run, "I like my coffee like I like my women. Dark, sweet and low."

So now you can't ask her what the fuck that means?

Doesn't the canned phrase deserve such a response? Asker can't really complain.

I would never tell you to smile. I hate that too. Now tell us about how your boobs grow when you're on all fours again. Almost anything you say or do will seem more interesting if you're on all fours.

Did you respond, "that's funny, because I like my men finely ground and boiled?"

Then call her and ask her out and tell us what happens.
Put your money where your mouth is and go for the gusto, big guy!
