re: phrases you hate

I hate it when someone says "you're all set" when most of the time you are not!
#53

re: phrases you hate

Ugh, I hate it when people say "pop" too. The only place I've been where they called it that was in Cleveland and I would cringe everytime my friends there would say it.

I hear a lot of "yous" here in PA too. I hate it so much.

The thing I hate most is when people say the same phrase twice in a sentence. As in "That may be, my friend, that may be". I mean, I heard it the first time, saying it a second time is just insulting my intelligence.

Phrases that I don't care for:

"In actuality..." makes me cringe. (It's "in reality...")

"You're disrespecting me..." (instead of "you're being disrespectful to me".)

"Let me be totally honest with you". ( What, do you usually lie?)

"Irregardless..." (the word is "regardless" people).

Junglered...I'm gonna try to use them all in one sentence..."Let me be totally honest with you,irrgardless of what you think,in actuality, you're disrespecting me."

"Can I ask you a question?" Hummmm... You JUST did and have reached your limit for the day.

I also am dismayed by "Can i axe you a question?" - um, no, I would prefer that you didn't!

re: phrases you hate

There are several things I hate.

I loathe when people refer to Instant Messenger as Aim. I can't stand it. A-I-M is okay, but if you say Aim, I might just have to hurt you.

I also hate it when people use internet slang in conversation.

"LOL, that is too funny."

"One second, I'll BRB."

Shoot me now.

I as well, as much as I love Flowery, do hate the misreferencing of soda as pop.

One other thing that annoys me is when people put the emphAsis on the wrong syllAble. I do it as well, so I have to let it slide. I made the mistake yesterday of saying philOSophical. My friend Nicole willingly corrected me. I felt rather foolish.

re: phrases you hate

I've lived in New York my entire life and I've never heard someone say "pop" until I left the state. It really drives me insane, I always want to say "Come on, it's SODA." I really can't stand that "pop" thing at all.

I also can't stand when you go out of state and you get mustard put on your burger at McDonald's but that's a different story...

Pop must go. Soda is correct. End of story.
And hang on, when did you win the discus?

"We appologize for any inconvience"
#66

re: phrases you hate

This isn't really a phrase........it is a statement but it makes me want to slash throats.

"Do you want to come with?"

With whom? You, your dog, Santa Clause, Jesus, Your hooker friend...........WHO?

FINISH THE DAMN SENTENCE.

re: phrases you hate

"Yo, sup dawg."

I also hate it when Simon Cowell always starts his bitter (but sometimes funny) remarks off with:
"I don't mean to be rude, but..."
"I'm going to be honest here, and..."
"I'm sorry to say this, but..."

I forget exactly how he says some of those.

Oh, Millie just reminded me of "Baby Mama" and that which goes with it, "Baby Mama Drama."
And hang on, when did you win the discus?
#69

re: phrases you hate

Junglered, I hate it when irr- is placed in front of any word...most of the time, people put it there not realizing the meaning they're striving for is the very meaning of the word! irregardless, irrespective...there are more, but it's late and my brain tries to think of more positive things.

PHRASES THAT BUG:

#71

re: phrases you hate

Emcees that open with "How's everybody doing tonight?"

No one ever screams, "My allergies are acting up!!" or "Awful! My mother's in surgery!!" or "Pissed off because my boyfriend was 35 minutes late picking me up!!" They all just scream, "Whooooo!!" or "Yeah!!" which isn't really answering the question.

re: phrases you hate

my new "fav" is, "No Can Do"...
#73

re: phrases you hate

Hate when people say:

- "I could care less", when what they MEAN to say is "I couldn't care less". Hopefully I don't have to explain the difference.

- "supposably" instead of "supposedly".

- Although I don't hate this one, its origin confounds me. The word "another" being split, and the word "whole" inserted, such as "that's a whole nother story" instead of "that's another whole story"

I hate when people write:

- "of" instead of "have", for example: "I should of gotten tickets for Assassins"
"Singing is the lowest form of communication" - Homer

re: phrases you hate

Actually, I call my godson's parents "my babydaddy" and "my babymama" (and we're all in our 40's) because I think it's funny. :)

re: phrases you hate

When people follow every statement with "Ya know what I'm sayin'?" as if whatever they were talking about was so profound that you didn't grasp it.
