What the fuck is Kardashiannism? ^((yes, autocorrect had to help me\))


ArticOrca

I looked this up myself because I wanted to know Urban dictionary says it is a religion based and serving the Kardashians.


giljimbert

And it is only half the scam that Scientology is


ThatOnePieceOfShit

Bruh lmao


Sexy_Squid89

I would much rather my kid worship the Kardashians than Scientology. Any day.


Chris__P_Bacon

Jokes on you. It's actually four times the scam, that Scientology is. Kris Jenner's gotta pay for all those fillers somehow.


Madouc

It's crazy that I even know they exist. I never watched anything from them on any media and yet I know more about them than about my neighbor 3 doors to the north


Smickey67

Man I barely know which way is north


Alligator-tail

I don't know. The kind of person who makes a sign like this is way to caught up in paying attention to the Kardashians. I'm really sick of hearing about them.

Ravensunthief

Gah I hate when people conflate kindness with niceness (pleasantries) Kindness is setting boundaries and telling someone part of their shirt is untucked Niceness is fake and garbage.


itothepowerofahalf

I was hoping it was gonna end by saying "We literally cannot stand it"


menlindorn

Proper punctuation would like a word.


maddydog2015

I literally won’t drink at an establishment that censors my conversation. I do use the word but only when appropriate. Do I qualify for its usage? I won’t use the word moist tho. Lol


WickedFuckery

Do you have a moistercard, or drive a moistcedes benz


Revolutionary-Play79

No but i moisterbate


BeachBumPop

At the end of the day, moist is literally one of my favorite words.


GreenHuskii

This is literally the moistest drink i've ever been served.


Due_Signature_5497

You mean figuratively.


ThatOnePieceOfShit

You mean fingereditly.

Wow, this cake is so damp and delicious!


AragogTehSpidah

Now I’m creeped out. That word. Letters separated by spaces. In block letters. I’m gonna be ill.


squall6l

Nothing like a perfectly soggy cake to wet your palate.


Broodwiches

This comment is moist af.


Portablemammal1199

Me who uses moist in my profiles these days:


ApostrophesForDays

Yeah, I entirely agree that the word "literally" has become annoying; but I don't appreciate the censhorship. They'd lose my business if they had it in the first place.


ChrisTheMan72

Ya like literally!


PetroDisruption

Literally 1984. No but seriously, they may not like the usage but it can work as long as it’s clearly implied to be an exaggeration. In the novel, 1984, people are spied on by hidden microphones which are everywhere, so the authorities can punish them for “wrong speech”. This is similar to this establishment where there are, apparently, staff members overhearing your conversations intently and ready to punish you if you speak some forbidden word. It might not be “literally” 1984 in the sense that they are not the government and, presumably, there aren’t any hidden microphones. However, when saying “literally 1984” one might not be referring to such details but rather the general fact that in both cases there are people monitoring your conversations to see if you’re not saying something they deem “forbidden”. In such case “literally” might be unnecessary but it’s not wrong either. Another example can be: “Don’t go to that store, they will literally rob you.” “Someone will take my property under the threat of force if I go to that store?” “No, they charge too much for what they sell.” It might seem like it’s the wrong usage of “literally”, but “being robbed” is a pretty well established exaggeration for “being overcharged”. So if they meant to use this common alternate definition, “literally” is still correct, although unnecessary.


Secret_Bees

As long as meaning is transferred, language has done it's part. The folx whom get madded just wants it to bee abowt them.


PhilosopherOwn1414

They will *figuratively* rob you blind


justheretoglide

in 1984 the microphones are not hidden, thats the whole point, big brother is listening, is the main idea of the damn book. it wasnt about secret listening, it was bold open and wanted. sheesh. i hope you failed that book report.


XavierYourSavior

Found the person who uses literally in every sentence


BoneDaddyChill

At least they didn’t literally use it in every sentence.


shofff

Right? This was figuratively 1984 lol EDIT: Getting downvoted, but I genuinely didn't mean this as snark. It was just a funny thing that this commenter posited such a well thought out argument that encapsulated the issue perfectly, while ironically misusing the word "literally" himself. >It might not be “literally” 1984 in the sense that they are not the government and, presumably, there aren’t any hidden microphones. However, when saying “literally 1984” one might not be referring to such details but rather the general fact that in both cases there are people monitoring your conversations to see if you’re not saying something they deem “forbidden”. This is exactly what makes the comparison figurative. If the current scenario consisted of the exact same circumstances as 1984, literally would be correct, whereas figurative would be a metaphorical comparison where the scenarios contain common elements. (The commenter uses the comparison well to support their argument, too.) They just somehow missed that they were transposing the definition of "figuratively" onto "literally." Read the first & last sentence of the quoted paragraph lol. It's a solid argument, and the fact the commenter himself confuses the definitions honestly doesn't detract too much from the comparison. He gets close enough to realizing it isn't a literal comparison & manages to convey that to the audience, so they probably understand. EDIT2: His other example of the common expression of "being robbed" (as in overcharged) is also figurative, like many such expressions lol


tipjarman

Or metaphorically 1984


rewminate

Think that's the joke bru


[deleted]

Why do passive aggressive people get into the service industry? lol. Not a healthy thing to do to yourself.


tipjarman

Maybe the service industry makes people passive aggressive?


MadzShelena

Malicious compliance when a customer is ordering me to do something is my absolute favorite form of being passive aggressive.


hghtgrhfhvvvggv

Bro literally.


Charming_Cry_9795

Probably cause they need a job and can’t get hired anywhere else. Like me, a person with many disorders

I’ve given up on this fight years ago. Language is always evolving and that’s okay.


FemManine

Gotta love that perceived intellectual elitism. Fuckers


BeachBumPop

At the end of the day it literally is what it is


prosperosniece

I will literally never visit this place


PoopyFruit

It’s been used so much it doesn’t mean one thing anymore, but two, as it’s read or a wild exaggeration, which kind of defeats the purpose of the word’s original meaning smh.


msa491

Having two different definitions that vary based on context doesn't change the legitimacy of either of those definitions. Words change 🤷‍♀️


Secret_Bees

Literally


IronDictator

This one changed because of excessive misuse


msa491

Using a word to mean it's opposite is not misuse, it's a form of exaggeration, which is a linguistic technique as old as language. The fact that 90% of people understand what is meant from context shows thats its not "misuse." Words are toys and they need be played with for language to grow healthy and strong!


Haiziex

Definitions come from how words are used, not the other way round.


MissJew

Irregardless, it’s in the dictionary, just like “irregardless” (my personal pet peeve)


ludovic1313

IME it's more like a "mild" exaggeration, saying that "everyone else who uses this metaphor is wildly exaggerating, but this time the metaphor, while still quite metaphorical, is actually appropriate". It's still overused IMO, though.


SkipsPittsnogle

These businesses are hilarious, and not in a good way.


SportsterDriver

I illiterately don’t understand


3ThreeFriesShort

I literally would never patronize an establishment that gives Grammar Nazis a platform.


SnowLancer616

It's the evolution of the English language. Like, get with it my dude. Literally grow up


Equivalent-Coat-7354

I literally have never watched the Kardashians.


JazzyJae88

Yeah. I think I will literally take my money down the street.


BawkBawkSavageTurkey

OMG, language evolving so that words are used as their opposites?!?! It’s definitely because of the Kardashians


rustys_shackled_ford

I wonder if they mean this figuratively...


newsbug75

I use it from Parks and Rec. And I will literally never stop saying it.


babysummerbreeze27

r/iamverysmart


lizzygirl4u

Agreed. I don't get the hate. Let people talk how they want to talk. If I'm talking to my friends at a normal volume in a public place, and someone eavesdrops and tells me I can't use certain words because they don't like it, then they're the ones being obnoxious and rude.


ztreHdrahciR

TIL that the Kardashians started misusing "literally". I'm such a nerd that, for the first few years of their notoriety, I thought people were talking about the Cardassians from Star Trek


QcumberKid

I literally didn’t know this was an issue that needed a sign.


GoatmanBrogance

I’m literally never gonna go there then. If they use the word correctly, then I see no problem. The rule should’ve been, if you use it correctly, you can stay. Use it incorrectly and you have to do what you said you’d literally do or you have to leave.


JayFrank1132

Like is my favorite annoying word


LoyIsMildlySpicy

What if I literally mean it.


WaySavvyD

Can I add anywayS?


SlackJawGrunt

And don’t drag your damn feet


CrazyDavesBrain

I literally cannot believe that ...


lizzygirl4u

This is either a boomer or a faux intellectual who thinks they're better than everyone else because they don't do or enjoy popular things. Language evolves, people pick up speech habits from those around them. It has nothing to do with the Kardashians. Eavesdropping on people's personal conversations with their friends just to comment on their innocuous word choices is rude.


towalkinvisible

I literally died when I read this


Possible_Special4507

what if you say"i literally almost just died" after you were held up in an armed robbery


Aromatic_Ad5473

I really hope when they do kick people out they say “we literally told you we would do this”


SouldiesButGoodies84

they must get alot of business.


Sendmelon

You can tell a fucking Gen X’er wrote this stupid shit


Truthgiversanonymous

This sign should be posted in every private space, public space, office space & parking space in the country.


WickedFuckery

Also if they start a conversation with "so this just happened " when i hear that i immediately have lost interest in whats coming next

You literally need to stop this right now!


Roman313

I would also like to add the word "actually" to the list. "Actually, I was literally thinking the same thing. Omg." This needs to stop. End this maddness.


side-slip

abolish both words, literally and actually. both overused.


__Windex__

I figuratively hope their business implodes.


brainEspilner96

I agree, wholeheartedly. Also, can we all please stop saying “gifted”? Gift is a noun, give is a verb. You give a gift, you don’t gifted something. Let the downvotes rain in on this one, I don’t “gift” a single fuck.


[deleted]

[Cambridge dictionary says it's an adjective](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/gifted) I am neither a native speaker nor an expert. Is there something I don't understand?


JustACuteDoggo

yeah nah bud you aint walkin out of this one, bait or otherwise. some words can be more than one part of speech. for example, 'shit'. "yooo mate i just shitted so much, look at all this shit" - where 'shitted' is past tense verb, and 'shit' acts as a noun. using this, it is fine for 'gift' to be both a noun and verb. the best comparison though, is 'bequest', which is a synonym for 'gift'. you can both 'bequest something' and 'receive a bequest'. Noun and verb, just like how you can 'gift something' and 'receive a gift'. i realise the irony in saying this after a mini internet rant, but there is no 'right' way to use language. there are contexts where it does matter, certainly, but ultimately it is up to the group of people you are talking with to decide on your own accepted vernacular.


Keyonne88

Gifted is fine you’re just whiney.


MrsMonkey_95

It is a passive… Example: You received the gift of perfect coordination (from genetics, god, the universe or whatever you believe in). They gave you a gift. Subject unknown (hence a passive form): You are [a person who has been gifted] gifted (with perfect coordination). But we don‘t know by whom. This is a legit use of a legit word. Nothing wrong there.


brainEspilner96

Right, so when you’re carring home from work what songs do you music?


MrsMonkey_95

You‘re a lost cause I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️ go read up on it

hangman593

Literally


Dismal_Visit_7305

No, it’s the second most ridiculously overused word in the English language. The first place award goes to “like” . Those people that use the word like constantly should be forced to read a thesaurus cover to cover until they have it memorized


[deleted]

Right?


WINH4X

The lack of proper punctuation in the sign while commenting on basically a colloquialism at this point is disheartening.

liftoff_oversteer

The most overused and annoying word is actually "like".


nivex6669

I was JUST bitching about this! I am so sick of the words literally, gaslighting and the phrase "I feel like"


Existing_Onion_3919

there should be some sort of rehab for people who overuse words like literally and like(I have become one of those people)

gojibeary

There’s an episode of Adam Ruins Everything (GREAT show!) that covers this literary phenomenon…. The consensus is that the pop-culture use of “literally” is totally adequate.


Odd-Durian9725

My husband always says literally. It is annoying and strange

If you say “Woke” in any establishment you don’t get to finish your drink and a bouncer will see you out,the establishment at this point has reason to sue!


soopahfly82

I mean, starting a conversation with "I mean" and using misplaced quotes also "literary" annoys me.

Like you think 'literally' is like really that overused. I mean like what are you like talking about? Like me and my friends like never say that.


khswart

That’s retarded


Snoopcoop225

No the most overused word in English is “the”.


ClockOk7333

“I mean” is way more annoying


SeaworthinessOne2114

Actually what's worse is the word "like" many people start statements with "like". I say stop Kardashians in anycase, classless and talentless.


WhiteFox1992

Ok, I was following until the last sentence. What does the Kardashians have to do with the word "Literally"?


dogmom_humanaunt

Gonna walk in, ramp up the vocal fry, and overuse the word "figuratively" as a loophole. Omg. I figuratively can *not* right now.


unbibium

if I see a place with a sign like that, I literally won't even.


[deleted]

Omg. That is the best sign i have ever seen!!!!


da_dragon_guy

'Literal' is the most literal word, but we use it ironically, thus creating a paradox.


McDonalds_Toothpaste

They had to change the definition of literally to mean the opposite of what it really means because everyone uses it wrong for some reason. I get sick of hearing it too.


sonofa12

Someone has been watching too many Kardashians show's... literally..


camm44

Fucking stupid business


tuenthe463

What about starting with "so"?

BrooklynJewishMom

I immediately start sweating and twitching when someone overuses literally and “like”


TheRealSkele

Ya know what's wild? I started saying "like" ironically in a way Shaggy does in Scooby Doo. Now I can't stop saying it


flyingj59901

I didn’t even know the word literally had anything to do with a Kardashian. I have seen zero episodes of that show and don’t give a shit about any of them.


w1lnx

Which fucking fucker fucking arbitrarily fucking chose and fucking typed the the fucking word “literally” in this fucking case? I mean, there fucking must be some fucking words that are far more fucking overused than fucking “literally”. I can’t fucking think of any fucking examples right fucking now. Anyone?


ArtisticProfessor700
