Things that need to stop

The terms "Date night" and "chick flick" -these phrases was popular in the 2010. Sure, you should have dates with your spouse, but not every trip to the grocery store without your kid qualifies as "date night"-and not every move that appeals to the female gender is a "chick flick". 

Jump the shark-this phrase has jumped the shark. 

Gender stereotype jokes-Not all woman are bad drivers and not all men can't ask for directions, but all people who believe that they do are probably Trump voters and Adam Sandler fans. 

Women in their forties who dress like their eighteen year old daughters-you think you "still have it" and you might very well still have it, but your eighteen year old daughter has more of it. 

Using "gay" as an insult-you don't have to be radically pro gay marriage to not be a jerk. If you use "gay" or other nasty terms like that thinking they are an insult, it shows who the asshole is and it's you. 

Calling yourself tolerant-did anyone else notice that tolerant people are the quickest to hate others who don't vomit out what they believe? And if you really were "tolerant" you wouldn't call yourself that. 

Thinking that high school is the "best time of your life"-I feel sorry for you if it really was. You are in high school for a very brief time and let's be honest, it's a miserable time. As an adult you have the freedom to do what you want, hang out with friends who aren't from your small little town, and not listen to teachers who know less than you do. 

Getting poorly thought out tattoos-There is nothing wrong with getting Chinese letters tattooed on your body-but know what they really mean. You want the word for "strength" not the word for "Google" in Chinese. And do Chinese people have English words written on them? This goes double for getting 50$ tattoos from your buddy in his basement. Don't complain about how much tattoos cost-real artwork takes time and costs money. Your tattooist doesn't and shouldn't work for free. 

Posting about how much you hate the internet and how cool you are for the internet and how much you hate your kids using the internet...on Facebook.
