What's your least favourite line, spoken or sung, from any Broadway show? (Current, past, or... heck, throw 'future' in there as well.)
From Les Miserables, I'd have to say: "There is a room that's full of toys/There are a hundred boys and girls." This line always annoys me to no end; I always feel they should switch the order and make it rhyme, dangnabit.
From Little Mermaid: "It's more than simply sentimental, it's an aphrodisiac!" (Um... kids' show, and I fail to see how this line even makes sense in context.)
From Scarlet Pimpernel: After being told that Percy is the Scarlet Pimpernel, Marguerite screams "OH MY GOD!" For a moment, the Cleverest Woman In Europe has transformed into Elle Woods.
More to come, I'm-a guessing...

Listen I am alone at a crossroad I'M NOT AT HOME IN MY OWN HOME
It was so easy to rhyme that! and they didn't! (they could've done, I'm not ALONE in my own home)
Schmerg-You're just like me in the way that we both do British spellings, but we weren't raised that way. I've even challenged myself into doing British dates (December 8 would be 08/12/200 and even putting the dates before written months! I love it!

MTF3-- Holy smokes, I didn't even notice that I was doing that! Ha... I belong to (now my dirty secret comes out) a Harry Potter fanfiction site that requires British spelling. I've gotten so used to modifying my spelling for that site that I guess I accidentally used it here, too. I remember I got downgraded for doing that on an essay awhile ago (I think I spelled 'judgment' as 'judgement,' which is the British way.)
Bwayfan9-- Eurgh, never been a big fan of that line, either.

They shouldn't take off points for that. You could've been from a country that spells it like that. That's horrible. I'd write that teacher up. Has she ever heard of ALTERNATIVE SPELLINGS?
Those lyrics from the song Listen, are very powerful and drive the point home very well.
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

When Nina says "Yeah, you want fries with that?" in In The Heights. It makes me cringe! There isn't any better lingo from home you could have taught those kids at Stanford?
I actually like the "bridges" line in "Thank Goodness," but maybe I just like the way Kristen sings it on the OBCR. *shrug*
But "I'd sooner buy defying gravity" should probably have never happened, and "Oh here it... it's a candy bar wrapper" from Light my Candle - Rent kind of bothers me.
