You can't say "your face," that's Jessica's thing!
Don't you absolutely HATE it when there's something you like to say a lot and people talk like you've trademarked it? Or worse, when people make you feel like a copycat when you say everyday things like "oh cool" just because they like to say it? This goes on a lot in my house.
I know just what you mean
Not really, no. Most things aren't all mine, so it's not my place to deny other's freedom of speech.
I don't get on well with people who are a lot like me though, if that helps. Like, I really hate them. I think it may be that I find them really annoying, which doesn't reflect well on me. xD
I don't talk to annoying people enough for this to happen.
Just don't say 'No. Just no.' or 'Thats a given'.

lovehurts said 'No. Just no.' long before you. In your face. And other people did before him as well. Not only that, but I've been saying 'That's a given' for quite some time, long before I joined here. It's a common phrase; you can't 'trademark' it.Originally Posted by Vivisteiner
I hate it when people say they 'trademark' things when other people were saying it ages before they were.
So, no. Just no.

I rest my case.Me included.lovehurts said 'No. Just no.' long before you. In your face. And other people did before him as well.
So, if one could 'trademark' words, I'd trademark all articles, pronouns, and prepositions. Have fun!
I don't have phrases that I say a lot that I think would need trademarked. I do say "I've been there," quite often, though, especially when someone mentions an awkward or difficult situation, regardless of whether or not I've actually been there.
No. Just no.
I make vulgar your mom jokes a lot. I don't have to worry about people doing the same because:
a) I don't care
b) No one can compete with my endless amounts of vulgarity.
My "things" are too weird to be copied, according to my friends, such as my Jewish mannerisms, my clumsiness, the scrunched up face I make when I'm mad, and my wishes to become Rihanna, Sarah Silverman, Japanese, and Norwegian simultaneously.
It's frustrating when you hang out with someone for enough time, they start picking up on your traits and mannerism(and you theirs, without noticing).
As far as sayings; who cares?
'No. Just no.' and 'That's a givin' are pretty widely accepted, albeit, generalized phrases that one could luckily go through a day without hearing. Unfortunately, luck is never on my side.
We all learned these words from the same language, kids. Let it go.
No. Just no.
I was the one who started 'No. Just no.' all those years ago. (I only trademarked it recently though)
I didnt invent 'That's a given' though, I invented 'Thats a given'. And trademarked that. I've been saying it for decades as well.

Ok. Fine. I'll give you get credit. You created that annoying saying. Good job.
Are you happy now?
