Title: Things I did today
Post by: kmfkewm on March 22, 2012, 03:02 pm
I woke up and did clothes. Then I did some bacon and eggs. Then I did drugs.

All of these sentences sound equally retarded.

Just a public service announcement.

Quote
to perform (an act, duty, role, etc.): Do nothing until you hear the bell.
to execute (a piece or amount of work): to do a hauling job.
to accomplish; finish; complete: He has already done his homework.
to put forth; exert: Do your best.
to be the cause of (good, harm, credit, etc.); bring about; effect.

Pretty sure drugs are not an act duty or role, although USING drugs is an act that you can do
pretty sure that drugs are not an amount of work
pretty sure that drugs are not something you accomplish, finish or complete (anyway does "I did sex" sound like a good way to say "I had sex"? I mean, it is something you can accomplish finish and complete.....)
pretty sure that drugs are not something you put forth or exert

I smoke(d) marijuana - acceptable
I use(d) marijuana - acceptable
I did marijuana - fail
I do marijuana - fail

I did (smoke) marijuana - acceptable
I do (smoke) marijuana - acceptable

when I hear people say that they did/do or have done marijuana I picture them dry humping a marijuana plant

Think about it, would you say you have done bacon simply because you have eaten it before? have you done cigarettes? Do you do cigarettes?

I just thought I would try to help people sound a little bit less retarded

I have not [smoked / used / snorted / injected / eaten] any drugs today, although I have been up for quite a while and am probably suffering from "lack-of-sleep triggered asshole-syndrome"

how do you do cocaine? cocaine is not something that can be done. You sniffed cocaine. You used cocaine. You sure as hell did not do cocaine, anymore than I did bacon.

I am confused what you did to bacon? English is not my first language and I'm learning the past ten years but every day is confusing!

i used to do cocaine. i still do, but i used to as well :)
Title: Re: Things I did today

to be fair, I have done some unspeakable things to bacon

and by that I mean I fucked a cop pretty hard

What you people do with bacon? I am confused. Can you snort?
Title: Re: Things I did today
Post by: kmfkewm on March 22, 2012, 03:37 pm
The use of do with drugs is just an artifact of propaganda most likely. Doing drugs sounds scary and evil, using them or even smoking them sounds much less ominous. Drug users (note: not drug doers) should not use the language created by prohibitionists imo.

I still do (USE) cocaine is fine. I used to use cocaine sounds more correct to me than I used to do cocaine. What did you used to do with it ??!

ok, for the grammatically correct: i used to snort cocaine. i still do, but i used to as well.

gold star for me?
Title: Re: Things I did today
Post by: Raoul Duke on March 22, 2012, 03:41 pm
TBH i never thought of it that way, but now i think about it you are correct - DOING drugs does sound more sinister than USING drugs

Post by: Raoul Duke on March 22, 2012, 03:44 pm
i think you can only say 'do' for certain things though:

i've never said 'i do cannabis' because it sounds weird, but 'i do coke', 'i do heroin' and 'i do MDMA' sounds like it fits properly. perhaps that might be because coke, heroin and MDMA are more 'sinister' drugs than bud?

man this is getting too deep for my fragile little mind....

I know what you say. I used to snort cocaine and smoke crack while doing prostitutes. Is that right?

But, this applies to people as well.

"I'd like to do her/him".

yeah that can be taken a couple of ways as well -

"man i'd do her"

or

"i'll fucking do you you cunt"

both recipients of the above might be fucked, but in VERY different ways....

Ahhh, I see what you did there. I used the term 'do' inappropriately like the OP was complaining about and so the thread goes full circle. It goes around and ends up back here. Yes, I should have said, "Snort a line". Good catch.

Woke up, smoked a blunt while walking my dog, texted some girls Im into in hopes of a pre work fuck- no luck  :-\  went to work- back home ready to smoke a blunt and walk my dog possibly hit some golf balls at the beach and with luck run into some hunnies to partake in my blunt and then return to my house.  More than likely, just go on an excellent adventure with my pup, but you never know

penny I don't think OP's purpose for this thread was to actually list things you did today. I know it says that in the title, but please read first post. He was explaining an argument for correctly using the term 'do". But to tell you the truth, all that blunt smoking does sound nice ;D So on second thought I really don't mind I guess, heh.

no i've actually been drug free for 2 weeks tomorrow. well, by drug free i mean free from expensive drugs anyway.

i think i've just done, sorry TAKEN ;) , so much coke over the years it's left me with semi-permanent verbal diarrhea.

and i am rather excited about it being payday next week so i can get some orders in to sort out this severe lack of chemicals in my bloodstream - not good for you, you know, all this sobriety

Ok sorry thought you were on something, heh. Yes too much sobriety can make one think they are in rehab, and rehab is full of quitters as they say. lol.

Bacon.. the best drug to DO
Title: Re: Things I did today
Post by: cerealbox on March 23, 2012, 09:11 pm
I woke up and did clothes. Then I did some bacon and eggs. Then I did drugs.

All of these sentences sound equally retarded.

Just a public service announcement.

Quote
to perform (an act, duty, role, etc.): Do nothing until you hear the bell.
to execute (a piece or amount of work): to do a hauling job.
to accomplish; finish; complete: He has already done his homework.
to put forth; exert: Do your best.
to be the cause of (good, harm, credit, etc.); bring about; effect.

Pretty sure drugs are not an act duty or role, although USING drugs is an act that you can do
pretty sure that drugs are not an amount of work
pretty sure that drugs are not something you accomplish, finish or complete (anyway does "I did sex" sound like a good way to say "I had sex"? I mean, it is something you can accomplish finish and complete.....)
pretty sure that drugs are not something you put forth or exert

I smoke(d) marijuana - acceptable
I use(d) marijuana - acceptable
I did marijuana - fail
I do marijuana - fail

I did (smoke) marijuana - acceptable
I do (smoke) marijuana - acceptable

when I hear people say that they did/do or have done marijuana I picture them dry humping a marijuana plant

Think about it, would you say you have done bacon simply because you have eaten it before? have you done cigarettes? Do you do cigarettes?

***explodes***
You're a moron who can't grammar good.

I did my nails, I did the laundry, I did my chores, I did my girlfriend, I did the groceries, I did any number of things.

There is no conspiracy. Your brain is just full of fuck.

There is no conspiracy. Your brain is just full of fuck.

First, I have never heard anyone say that they did the groceries and if they did say that I would probably look at them like they just said one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. You did your girlfriend is a slang term, which could be said about doing drugs also, but in the case of your girlfriend you saying you did her is not the result of propaganda.

do as used for drugs is even listed in the fucking dictionary as a slang use of the word:
Slang To take (drugs) illegally: "If you do drugs you are going to be in continual trouble" (Jimmy Breslin).
Vulgar Slang To have sex with; bring to orgasm.

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/do

as far as laundry goes:

To prepare for further use especially by washing: did the dishes.

chores:

To carry out; commit: a crime that had been done on purpose.
To perform or execute: do one's assigned task; do a series of business deals.

nails:

to set or style (the hair).
To apply cosmetics to: did her face.

language policing? interesting. a bit like grammar school maybe. geometry and physics is what you should do. in organic language

you can do anything you want
you can't do anything you want
I can do it my way
you can do it your way

<i am on DXM> and i am smoking a bowl of ganja

"i am ON DXM" doesn't seem to make much sense, spatially. but metaphorically, with some imagination, it seems like a meaningful utterance.

"IN organic language", again not much literal sense, spatially.

Thank you so much for this post! if someone told me how the karma system worked i would +karma the fuck out of you. I have always found the question, "do you do drugs?" hard to answer. I wish we could abandon the concept of being in a constant state of drug use though. " do you use drugs?" is a bit vague.

Professor John McWhorter, Stanford University, has recorded two lecture series through The Teaching Company:
"Understanding Linguistics: The Science of Language" and
"The Story of Human Language"

Many interesting ideas are discussed, including (from TTC description):
Quote
- Comprehend that changes in language (including new words, constructions, or usages) are a normal and inevitable part of the language's evolution.
- How does a language change, and when it does, is that change indicative of decay or growth?

He doesn't distinguish between the map and the territory, indication and implication, denotation and connotation, etc. And he certainly does not go into interpretation of metaphor, hermeneutics, analysis and critique of poetry and art, etc. - all of which seem to be a fundamental part of human communication. He does however have interesting things to say about language prejudice and the common misconception that there is such a thing as "correct" grammar or "correct" pronunciation.
