"Angry much?" Where does that annoying phrase come from?

rantyface · 16-05-2010 7:09pm #1

I see a lot of people saying things like "angry much?" on facebook and here. There is another example of it on a thread where someone says "stepbrothers much?". It doesn't make sense and it's annoying. Is in nerdy internet speak or is it an American/British affectation?

Does anyone know the origin of it?

Thanks

Unnecessary linguistic complaint much?

Bobeagleburger · 16-05-2010 7:11pm

It means "Do you get angry much?"

I better not tell you about black holes.

i made it up a few years ago...

rantyface · 16-05-2010 7:16pm

I know what it means. I've never heard it said that way in real life, and I only noticed it being typed that way fairly recently. I don't like it at all. I read it with a snide, passive aggressive, narky tone though, maybe that's not what people mean.

It wrecks my head anyway, it sounds so pretentious and condescending.

Welcome to the internet, OP.

Thomas828 · 16-05-2010 7:29pm

Hearing those words could make me angry even if I wasn't before.

RonMexico · 16-05-2010 7:51pm

It deserves the following reaction.

Angry much?

Say 'angry much' again. Say 'angry much' again, I dare you, I double dare you mother****er, say 'angry much' one more Goddamn time!

"cool story bro" is worse. i think the people who type it are complete tools.

seanaor · 16-05-2010 8:35pm

I dont know where it came from, when it got here, or who started it. But get rid of it.

Yours sincerely,
Angry much.

Or alternatively let's hope he does so we can have a laugh. I don't think poor R.Rated ever got over that. :pac:

It's not as bad as someone saying..
"What are ya gettin thick for?Why are ya so pissed off?" over and over again when you're angry just to piss you off more:pac:

My frienemy is angry much

I think "(insert word) much?" comes from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Which makes it OK with me.

Where does the annoying phrase
"But don't let the facts get in the way of ...." come from?

Usually posted by some absolute tosser who had just spent an entire morning googling rubbish just to disprove some other anonymous person's assertation.

Agreed. People who use hashtag when not on Twitter. Very annoying.

westendgirlie · 28-11-2012 5:14pm

I was reading the first page of this thread but took no notice of date.

"Jeez" I said to myself. "Why are there loads of people closing their accounts at the same time?"

Ditzy moment much ?

It's a way of underscoring people's ignorance on a topic.

That's kinda been happening since the enlightenment in case you didn't notice. Evidence and proof trump baseless assertions each and every time.

But don't let the facts stand in the way of your dearly held prejudices.

(and I didn't even have to 'google' the above)

One can post facts, disprove assertions and win an argument without being a smug prick also.

iDave · 28-11-2012 5:26pm

I've seen the word 'much' get taken out of copntext a lot like 'rude much' and 'happy much'. I'm assuming its another west coast of USA abuse of the English language thats now infiltrating the vernacular over here

Yes and people don't have to act like a a chastised 4-year-old when they've been shown to be incorrect or lacking in knowledge on a subject.

TwoShedsJackson · 28-11-2012 5:39pm

You use it when you want to sound like a passive-aggressive twat.
