Words/Phrases That Annoy You
Oct 11^th, 2007 at 9:08am

I'm in a fickle mood this morning, so I thought I'd share some of the most annoying phrases I hear on a daily basis. Whenever I hear these things, I just want to bit the heads off of everyone in a 25' radius. God forbid I should hear them while standing in a nursery...

Baby Bump - It's not a bump, you fat bastard.
Fashionista - I believe the proper term is "gay."
Illegal War - The president asked for it and congress voted on it. You might not like it, but it isn't illegal. Get over it.
Guru - This one is especially annoying when applied to IT people. I'm not Buddhist. Why don't you just call me a "Computer Zealot" instead?
Whatevva - If you can't pronounce "er," consider retaking Remedial Speech.
Undocumented Immigrant - Yeah, and when I rob the bank, I'm going to call it an "undocumented paycheck."
At the End of the Day - At the end of the day, I'm going to bed, and I'll probably fall asleep right now if I hear that phrase one more time in the same conversation.
Blood for Oil - My Jeep loves Iraqi oil. Considering how expensive gas is these days, I'm thinking blood might be a cheaper alternative.
Raise Awareness - Screw awareness. Raise livestock instead, there's more money in it.
Baby's Daddy - Yeah, you're a whore, but you don't need to advertise it by using that idiotic phrase.
Shotty - It's not a shotty, it's a shotgun. Call it a shotty again and I'll break your kneecaps.
Extreeeeeme - Listen, there is nothing "extreme" about extreme cheerleading, extreme energy drinks, or extreme off-roading. The only extreme thing I can think of is the length your mother will go to in the pursuit of another line of coke.
All New - Why is it that every new episode of a TV show is "all new"? Why not just new? Is "all new" newer than just plan new?
Are You Serious? - Yes, I'm serious. If you ask me one more time, I'm going to choke you just to show how serious I am.

Alright guys, do your worst. What phrases annoy you?

ok, phrases I hate:

The weights aren't in Mattec - Are you sure? Did you check before you came to me or are you guessing?
Anything Vern says - I hate him.
Anything to do with rimses on a POS car - retarded.
Anything to do with rimses on a Cadillac - Worst car company in the US.
Caddy - Don't be shamed on the money you wasted, say the whole name.
Wii - Console fun, name retarded.
Want some cheese? - No I don't want your damn cheese!

Me: How did you like that movie?
Person A: It was awesome!
Me: On a scale of 1 to 10 how was it?
Person A: An 11!
Me: *Kicks Person A in the crotch*

Me: How's your team doing coach?
Person B: They're giving 110%!
Me: How can they give more then everything they could possibly give? What are they? Two people in one?
Person B: *Stares blankly*
Me: Not to mention, if they gave 100% wouldn't they be dead soon?
Person B: *Stares blankly*
Me: *Shakes head and walks away*

I go to a women's college (bad choice, don't judge me--I learn the hard way that girls suck ass) and here are some of the things I hear on a daily basis that make me cringe:

1: OMG, really?! (and they dont say oh my god--they actually say OMG.).
2: i dunno
3: lol
4: Sup?
5: Hey Boo
6: you shut up. (no, you shut up!). ok. just get off the phone with your lametard boyfriend, K? thanks.
7: they only treated me that way because i'm (take your pick): a woman/lesbian/feminist/different race or culture, etc. seriously. stfu. i'm tired of your bitching. yeah yeah yeah, burn your effing bras and see where it takes you.
8: jk
9: bitch is crazy. (and your grammar sucks ass. how'd you get into college, again?)
10: people who say "how are you?" and walk away before you answer.
11: thats what she said. funny at first, now its just annoying
12: your mom.

That is a small sample of words/phrases make me twitch. I hate girls. Angry

I thought of another phrase that annoys me:

"Ya know what I'm saying?" more to the point...when it's used like this:

"It's like when I was a kid, ya know what I'm sayin', and, ya know what I'm sayin', I was, like, walking, ya know what I'm sayin', towards the stores and, ya know what I'm sayin', I saw like a car, ya know what I'm sayin', that was, like, this weird lookin car, ya know what I'm sayin'?"

NO! NO I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYIN'! IT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T SAID ANYTHING YET! SO STOP ASKING!

My turn to play. =)

I COULD CARE LESS: By all means, go right on ahead. Don't let me stop you.

SOMETHING "FELL THROUGH": In my opinion it would make much more sense for it not to fall through. If something didn't work out, it seems to me that something else would be blocking the hypothetical falling.

ANYONE PLURALIZING STORES WITH SINGULAR NAMES: There is no 's on Meijer, Kroger, Barnes & Noble or KMart. Quit pretending there is because you sound like an idiot.

ANYONE QUOTING OVERQUOTED MOVIES: Yes, we've all seen Monty Python, Office Space, etc., but try working your right brain some time and make me laugh by actually making up a joke or funny quote of your own. (This could be a thread it itself.)

ANYONE USING WORDS THAT AREN'T REALLY WORDS: Can't think of any examples other than "irregardless" right now. Need to get back to studying for midterms.

I agree with all of your contributions, but those two are particularly irksome. Good catch!

I hate when the airport lady says "We are now preboarding the airplane." - What is that? Get in the plane before you get in!?

That's another thing, the lady says "Get on the plane, cmon, get on." - I say F you! I'm getting IN the plane. I'll let Evil Knievel get ON the plane.

"The captain has recommended we put our seatbelts on for the landing" - Who made this guy a captain? He's the F'n pilot.

How about these gems...

WHAT WAS YOUR NAME AGAIN? It's Marie, and it still is. I haven't changed it in the last 30 seconds.

WE'LL SEE YOU LATER! Who is this "we" you keep referring to? I only see one of you.

WHAT ARE YOU? I'm a human being.
NO, I MEAN WHAT'S YOUR NATIONALITY? I'm American.
NO YOU'RE NOT. WHERE ARE YOU REALLY FROM?. Nationality refers to the country in which you were born. I think you're referring to ethnicity. Moron.
