Beach Balls

Alright, they're fine at the beach.

But as soon as you start bringing those bouncy, inflatable spheres into concerts, it creates an entire stream of irritation.

There is nothing worse than being at a concert and standing in the front row, enjoying yourself, and then having a giant ball land on your head.

So many times, I've wanted to pop them. When they come my way, I don't throw them back. Or I do. But when I do, I just punch the beach ball to get it away from me. But then it always comes back.

I want to step right on those beach balls and pop them into a million pieces of plastic. Throwing a beach ball around at a concert is not fun.

It's not exciting.

It's annoying.

They're called beach balls for a reason. Please keep them there.

The saying, "That's Legit," or any derivation of it

"Legit" does not mean cool.

Yet, for some reason, I keep hearing it used for that. Everywhere I go.

Instead of "this band is really cool," it's, "this band is pretty legit!"

And I might just pull my hair out of my head.

"Legit" comes from the word "legitimate," which means "lawful," "genuine," "normal," or "born in wedlock."

None of these things, last time I checked, meant cool.

So I really wish people would stop using it for that.

I cannot explain how much I cringe and shudder when I hear someone say this. It honestly drives me up the moon. Which is much, much higher than being driven up a wall.

"This contest is pretty legit."

Is it? Is it really? Is it legal? Is it really, truly a contest?

Because I'm pretty sure that is not what you meant to say.

I wish people would know what they were saying before they said it. Using this word for slang is ridiculous, and I wish, oh I wish, it would stop.

And to the person who first began using "legit" to mean "cool," if I ever meet you, I will punch you in the face.

And that's a legitimate threat.
