Have you ever used or heard someone use the expression "killing time"?

It's always bothered me for some reason. Even more so than "wasting" time. Wasting implies something has a use and cannot be taken back, which I suppose Time qualifies for. But killing... killing has so many implications one has to wonder.

Then again, during my stay here I have ( Read more... )

Quite a long talk for someone who has not much to say.

[PERMATEXT] ...I giggled when I realized Hade's username. Go me! loves_humanity July 9 2011, 02:04:58 UTC

Much ado about nothing, perhaps?

[same here~] It had to be done! >) kill_some_time July 9 2011, 19:42:57 UTC

Is it?

It really did. loves_humanity July 10 2011, 18:03:36 UTC

Well, people are often prone to make much fuss about something very unimportant, myself included, of course.

Killing time sounds like a terrible thing to do. I suppose it would be quite hard for me to waste it. Well, would have been hard for me to waste it. But how could you kill time? I have heard of it being eaten, in a sense. But that isn't quite the same.

[PERMATEXT] loves_humanity July 9 2011, 03:47:39 UTC

Popular expressions can be quite weird when you think about them, mmm?

[PERMATEXT?] [YEAH WE'LL GO WITH THAT XD] iwantmythief July 11 2011, 02:32:47 UTC

I suppose I never gave very much thought to them before, but I guess they are! Some of them make quite a bit of sense though.

loves_humanity July 11 2011, 04:52:02 UTC

Oh, I think all of them do, or at least did, in the beginning. But then time passes and people forget the details.

Maybe the person who came up with it was really trying their best to do it.

[PERMATEXT] loves_humanity July 10 2011, 18:04:04 UTC

Trying their best to kill time?

sadoslash July 10 2011, 21:27:29 UTC

[ He nods once. ]

It must have been frustrating, putting all that effort in to kill something that keeps evading. I can empathize with them.

loves_humanity July 11 2011, 00:17:56 UTC

...unless you were chasing after the anthropomorphic avatar of Time, one has to wonder why you'd be so intent on killing time.

[Yeah, Mello's bored.]

Wasting time is a passive activity. Killing it isn't.

[PERMATEXT] loves_humanity July 10 2011, 18:05:26 UTC

And yet both are irrevocable, aren't they.

[voice] want_the_world July 11 2011, 01:37:38 UTC

Of course, and I'd rather do neither, but if I'm stuck with time I can't do anything else with, killing it is preferable.

loves_humanity July 11 2011, 05:02:24 UTC

Have you consider your lack of imagination as the main flaw?

What else would we call it, if not either of those?

[PERMATEXT] loves_humanity July 10 2011, 18:07:37 UTC

Why not simply passing time? Why must there be an action and intent behind such a natural thing?

permavoice!! dofaye July 11 2011, 06:16:23 UTC

Ah, but "passing" has its own set of implications and other meanings.

loves_humanity July 11 2011, 23:13:25 UTC

It does. But then any verb attributed to time will in itself imply action. And you can't have action without time, mmm?
