ARE YOU A HATER??

HATERS

This week my assault on over used or mis used slang terms continues with one of the by far most over used words ever...hater.

Old School Haters!!

"Man, I asked her out and she said she doesn't date losers...she's just a hater..."

No, she's not a hater...she doesn't want to date you because you're 27, you live with your mom, you work at Speedway, and your hobbies are play station, weed, and internet pornography. In summation, by definition, you're a loser. She just called you on it. The funniest part about when someone calls someone else a hater, the person being called a hater is usually telling the truth, and in turn get labeled as being a hater for doing so.





"My professor gave me another D. Damn that dude is such a hater..."





Wrong again Cheech. You got a D because you opted to go get drunk 6 nights out of the week, rather than just study for a few hours and get your head right. Your professor is not a hater. Even if he wanted to hate on you, trust me he doesn't have the time. It also doesn't help that your hobbies include play station, weed, and Internet pornography. Are we noticing a trend here?

umm....Really?? smh

Google doesn't have a definition for the word hater, and I don't count the Urban Dictionary as a credible source so the following is my definition of the word hater:

Hater - (hay-tur) noun.

Someone who dislikes something about someone else.

So by my definition we are all or we have all been haters at some point or another during our lives. Hell I've apparently been a hater since kindergarten when Tommy Flanagan managed to get the ghostbusters firehouse play set before me. My point is we can't deem everyone a hater because we don't like something they do or say.





The only thing worse then people who call others haters, are the people who claim to have haters. I won't say names, but I recently saw a friend of mine on Facebook use the following as her status: "I love my haters"

Really? You're a dental hygienist from central Ohio who works and lives in Pittsburgh...who is hating on you? Really?





Look I get that everyone has little quirks that bother us. Shit sometimes the quirks downright piss us off. But the term hater has become so over used and out of control that it's hard to define anyone as anything but.




apparently I was told this was my favorite drink...






I'll go ahead and say it...I'm hating on haters.
