"For all intensive purposes" and other annoying malapropisms
You see, the appropriate phrase is 'for all intents and purposes.' I surmise that dumb people try to appear educated, and only undermine their big word nolledge through the use of a malapropism. These are the same cats that blurt fucked up shit like "irregardless" and "supposably." When you call them on it, they will insist that "it's a word; it's in the dictionary." Yeah, whatever. Idiot.

These idiots may tell you about their 'Sig Sawyer' firearm. I ask them: what do you call that German fermented cabbage that goes on a Reuben Sandwich? No one has ever called it Sawyer Kraut, so how is the firearm called Sawyer? SAUER in both cases. Smith and Weston? Who the fuck is Weston? There is NO paint manufacturer called Sherman Williams, and even if there were, he sure as fuck did not manufacture MASONARY paint. It's masonry, goddamnit.

Just remember Yogi Berra's sage advice: When you come to a fork in the road, take it.

Re: "For all intensive purposes" and other annoying malapropisms
Here's another good one - dipshit comes in to the shop and asks for help finding a holster for his "40 mm." You ain't got a 40 mm shit, dumbass, unless you have a grenade launcher. We don't have grenade launcher holsters. Also, if you need help finding a holster, you should not be carrying a firearm at all anyway.

I hate these too. I do tend to use "irregardless from time to time, but I am aware that "irregardless" & "regardless" are different words with different meanings, & I use them both correctly. Although, I agree that "irregardless" is often used incorrectly by those who use it, so I can see why you mentioned it here. Just because they are real words in the dictionary doesn't mean people are using them correctly. Another one that annoys me is when people mix up "opposed" & "supposed" in a sentence.

Irregardless of what you say, I think your just going rouge over these supposively incorrect phrases. For all intensive purposes its a mute point anyway. You should of focused on more important things. Case and point, you could nip the problem in the butt by just not caring so much. Its not of the upmost importants.

Re: "For all intensive purposes" and other annoying malapropisms
If you come in to the shop and need help finding a holster, at least have a fucking half-assed clue as to what you intend to carry. "Yes, I can help you. What do you intend to carry?" "It's a 380." "Okay; what manufacturer?" "It's a 380." "Does it have a name?" "I call him shooty." "No, a model name." "It's a 380." "How many rounds does it carry?" "It's a 380." "Sorry, I can't help you."

Later that day: "Hey, manager, how's it going?" "Bitchcakes stopped by and said that you refused to help her find a holster." FTS.
