Quit using the phrase “Rock the DAT”

It is my humble opinion that this phrase is so stupid and annoying to the average high school graduate, by this I mean it makes absolutely no literal sense when used, that it could be included with other common phrases that infer stupidity and or ignorance. Such as…

I could care less!
So where does that leave you?

A penny saved is a penny earned!
No, actually it isn’t.

The pen is mightier than the sword!
If anyone has ever used this phrase in real life, and is willing to defend its validity, I will instantly challenge you!

If it’s not one thing it’s another.
Thank you, Captain Obvious.

Guesstimate
Look, I don’t speak idiot.

It’s always in the last place you look!
Captain obvious makes a repeat appearance.

What phrases really irritate other SDN members? Dental School related or otherwise?

"I have a 3.** GPA, have lots of ECs, good LORs, lots of shadowing experience, leadership qualites. So, if i get DAT scores >22 across the board then should i apply to these schools"

Please first take the DAT and go through that 28 Hours of torture (4 hours of test + 24 hours of pre-DAT tension) and then think furthur. Do not assume what can be achieved.

There is no point of thinking anything about list of schools and assuming of scoring above 22 unless you take the real test.....

Hey, guess what? I ROCKED the DAT, YEAH! I'm going to say it and so are a ton of other pre-dents. Have you rocked the DAT yet, Hansen, or are you just another self-knighted genius-prick descended upon the illiterate community of SDNers to share your opinions about popular English idioms? Do you even know what an idiom is, or is your shirt starched so stiff that you are only able to literally decipher English? Shakespeare must be fun reading! What do you have to say about these:

It's raining cats and dogs!
(Why, only the stupidest of idiots would presume that animals could precipitate from the sky. This IS the 21st century, isn't it?)

His eyes are bigger than his stomach.
(Such a mutation would obviously result in a miscarriage or stillbirth. Good riddance if they were to grow up to use phrases like this!)

I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place
(How redundant!)

Put your foot in your mouth
(Oh yes, and maybe that hookworm you picked up from doing yoga in your pig-pen barefoot will jump down your throat!)

I'm sorry you are such an average high school graduate, dental schools are usually looking for something more. Maybe your time would be better spent here.

Pretty uptight there - if you backed up into a brick wall, you might pluck out a brick with your buttocks. Relax - people get excited or express thoughts in an informal or colloquial manner because it's a message board.

will "stone the DAT" be fine?

How about "pelt the DAT"?

I tend to not use that expression since it is so overused here.

Couldn't get into a MD school with that GPA?

An "Am I a Jerk Test", real classy, maybe a little less time on internet dating websites would do you some good...By the way, I have seen your screen name somewhere before...that's right it was on the date line TV show 'To Catch a Predator'.
