in a PM tonight, ~FloweryFriend~ said she had never heard my despised phrase "Lookie-Loo" as in, "No Lookie-Loos" which I've seen on windows at 'private events'
any other phrases that make you want to projectile vomit?

Earlier today, someone used the phrase "playing it by year". I sent a PM saying that it was "playing it by ear", but the person says I'm wrong.
I don't think I'm wrong.
Grrr...

wait, I just thought of my most profoundly hated one
"don't take it personally"
um, when does this statement ever apply???
I guess if you're fired cause a company is downsiding and eliminating your job, it could apply
but usually, it is said at times I take it most personally
ok, shutting up now

Well, usually 'Don't take it personally' means 'Everything I just said and everything I'm about to do you should be taken personally'
Kinda like "It's not you, it's me"......yeah right
I also hate: "A little ______ never hurt anybody"

"y'all" which isn't really a full phrase.
Oh, and anything which involves a sentence ended with the word "at." As in, "It was where the food was at."
And hang on, when did you win the discus?

Just kidding. I hate that too.

Actually I wish that were the case.
It's just annoying because I want to say "At what!?" or "at where?!" Otherwise I don't usually pick up on that kind of thing.
By the way, I adore your signature. Very nice.

It's not that ending a sentence with a preposition drives me nuts...
It's when the preposition is unnecessary.
i.e. "Where's the paper at?"
or "Can I come with?"
(I say y'all though... heh)

Posted: 8/5/04 at 2:21am"No offense" bothers me sometimes. If you don't mean to affend anyone, then why say it? If you dont have anything nice to say, dont say it at all. Wise words from Thumper! =D

I've never said y'all but I think that's because it just isn't a popular thing to say in New York. Maybe that's why it drives me nuts.
FF, please never say Where's the paper at? again, even in jest. I think the hairs on the back of my neck just stood up from reading it. :-p

I can forgive you one or the other just don't start it with y'all and end it with "at" like:
Y'all, where the paper at?

Ebonics.
One word: Ugh.
This is going to make me sound a lot older than 19 (I'm milking 19 until Sunday people.) I swear though, when I hear kids in 7th/8th/9th grades now talking like they do...I want to scream "You live on LONG ISLAND, we have no GHETTO here." Actually, I did tell a kid at this after school program I work for that he needed to not talk like he was in the ghetto, he was only in 3rd grade too. It's sad.
