I love when one of the young white people on the board explains that they "are not feeling" a given performer. Lucky performer.

A sense of urgency! It is a common saying by a very WICKED WITCH.

I can't say it enough:

The word BADLY -- an ADVERB to describe an ACTION is consistently used to mean BAD. Even Phd.'s say "I feel ... badly ... about it." Meaningly, they are running their hand across something roughly, poorly, inappropriately. In truth, to state a "state: ... one can only feel "bad," if one is describing a mood, or physical condition. I said "I feel bad about it" the other day, and an assh--e said "you mean ... you feel BADLY?" That's how bad it is! I feel bad for all those who badly misuse a bad cliche, but do not dare to correct me with your badly executed appraisal of my bad English. Please.

I also hate the universal use of the word "momento" to mean "MEMento". "Oooooh, now I have a souvenir MOMENTO!!!" Ugh.

Isn't saying souvenir memento a tautology?

Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

It is tautological and rendundant.

I hate people who think 'conversate' is a real word. You have a conversation, you converse, but you DO NOT CONVERSATE!

Sorry, that's one that reeeeeeally drives me nuts!

That, and my mom is convinced there's a 'T' on the end of the word 'cousin' -- whenever she says it, it comes out 'cousinT'

ANWAYS.
That is not a real word. Anyway does not have an s at the end.
An old boss would always say it and it would make me cringe.

Actually, Auggie, 'badly' is an adjective...not an adverb

Do people outside Ohio say 'flustrated?' It drives me nuts: you are FLUSTERED or you are FRUSTRATED, you can't just blend the two words into one!

RE: Phrases you hate

Posted: 8/24/04 at 4:30pm

When people say 'supposably" instead of supposedly.

The misuse of 'me' and 'I'....

There, their or they're...

Grammatical errors, in general.

Finally, "Think outside of the box"...Such an overused phrase!

NYadgal - I hate that "outside of the box" too - for some reason it always makes me think of a litterbox...

SamIAm, I love you dearly, we're bonding over Gov McGreevey's sorry plight ... but BADLY IS AN ADVERB, babe. What dictionary are you using ... albeit, badly?

Try my handy Merriam Webster Collegiate: "Badly ADV 1: in a bad manner (played---) 2: to a great or intense degree (want something --).

I hate it when someone makes a funny noise or face to describe something and then some idiot goes "What was that again?" I shudder at the thought.

"With all due respect". Usually said when disrespect is exactly what's intended. So disengenous.

The use of "who" instead of "what".

I was at McDonald's and asked for a number four. The guy at the register wasn't paying attention (quell suprise) and said, "A number who?"

Do people enjoy sounding like idiots?
