The Five: Ways we've misused The Unit

by Jonathan Toomey, posted Apr 18th 2006 8:32AM

The
Unit; CBS; Dennis HaysbertUnit: (N) [ynt] -- An individual, group, structure, or other entity regarded as an elementary structural or functional constituent of a whole.

It also happens to be one of the few English nouns, that when used in the proper context, has the ability to make small children and immature adults giggle. Now I stopped covering the show a few weeks ago. I wasn't a fan. First off though, let me preface this by saying that Keith and his twisted mind came up with this as a post idea. Although, I suppose it's partly my fault since two or three of the following misused Units came from my mouth. Oh God, I did it again. I'm going to shut up now.

  1. "I'll grab The Unit!"
  2. "I dropped The Unit." (To which Bob replied, "I bet that hurt." Would have hurt more had I dropped something on The Unit.)
  3. "I'm watching The Unit tonight!"
  4. "I'll cover The Unit" is in a three way tie with, "I'm all over The Unit," and "I love The Unit."
  5. "Man, The Unit sucks! It's so hard to watch."

I feel like I need to go take a shower now.

Be calm. Everything will be good. I'm get annoyed too often. We need to fight with this weaknesses
