I'm finding that i grind my teeth and shudder when I hear people say "bless". It's just such a wishywashy word. Especially when it's used like "i'm so blessed" "what a blessing our new baby is" or just "Bless."

What is that? Bless. It's just a verb! It's not a sentence!
"Have a nice day. Bless."
it's like saying "Have a nice day. Bake."

dumb dumb dumb

And I find that people using "i'm so blessed" are bragging without it sounding like they're bragging.
"my voice was blessed by god to sing" God had nothing to do with all of the practice in making someone a good singer, and they are essentially saying "My voice is so great, it's like a miracle"

It's used so overdramatically and pathetically and i want to slap everyone who uses it. And I want to slap the people who will hit reply to say "bless" just to make me angrier. You are going to suck!

God bless you my friend.:-)

Also, "God is great" - what does it mean?
Especially in the muslim world on TV, "Allah is great" really means hello guys
 
There's a lady at work who I love to death - she's a firecracker and Southern belle all rolled into one. She says, "God bless," in a way that clearly means "Goddammit (but it's unprofessional/unladylike of me to cuss on the job so I'll say something else instead... but you know what I mean)!"

Again, I love her to death.

But EVEN BETTER THAN THAT:

Anyone who grew up Lutheran (or similar denomination) knows the central importance of the Church Potluck. Except that there's one problem: some people say that if you believe that God is omnipotent, it's impious to believe in "luck" (whatev, but bear with me). They won't wish you "Good luck" on your upcoming job interview; they'll say, "Do well."

Soooo... I've actually seen announcements in church bulletins for something called a POTBLESS. I swear I'm not making this up. I saw it the first time and thought, "What the hell?" (or should I say, "God bless it?!") But then I figured it out ("Oh, like, cuz they can't say "luck")... and I was still like "Are you fucking serious?!"
 
OMG "POTBLESS"
I just went into convusions! that's one of the worst things that has ever happened ever! may a deity (if one exists) CURSE them with bad doings!

haha actually I like the expression "bless ya cotton socks!". It's funny and it isn't focused on the doucheness of the word "bless". same with the cotton pickin heart
 
Yup.....Tennessee Ernie Ford
Loved his song called "16 Tons"
actually
I liked Johnny Cash's version better
They are both on Youtube
 
hehe see, I see that as being a bit differant ^^^^ they arent saying some random word, its a word with a specific meaning in their language
 
My thoughts and prayers are with you (*8*) (*8*) (*8*) (*8*)


^^That is the pointless nicety that is spouted around here more often that not - it's almost as annoying as "bless".
 
I had a great-aunt who ended her sentences with "don't you know". Loved her to death, but, if I knew, why did you tell me??
 
ohhh that bless thing drives me insane!!

everytime i say something to a girl at work all she replies with is not much more than ....."awwwww bless"

its like nails down a chalk board haha

What would you have us say may I ask? I'm assuming that people put their sorrows/frustrations on the forum b/c they're looking for sympathy. It's not like I can respond w/, "well that sucks for you" or "you lost your job b/c you're a loser!" ;)

Why say anything at all then?

I expect something constructive would be useful.

Thoughts and prayers are neither useful nor constructive.

The statement from Terry Pratchett with regards to his newly diagnosed Alzheimer's sums it up quite nicely "I know it's a very human thing to say, 'Is there anything I can do?' but in this case I would only entertain offers from very high-end experts in brain chemistry."

But, if it makes you feel better, you can keep on offering your pointless platitudes and mawkish sentimentality...
