Phrases that revolt you just by the reading...

Sorry, that amused me pre-coffee. Now it just seems mean. :o

“been there, done that” … has always gotten on my nerves.

“Net net…”
A couple of salesy types I used to work with used this. Means: The distilled essense of this discussion is…

“Honor and dignity”
Heavily invoked by assorted Pakistani generals in public. Revolting because those mouthing this neither have nor deserve any.

“Secularists”
The Indian media’s reference to “liberals” with pronounced pro-Islamic political views. A term of deification, “secularists” are apparently a new breed of humans with shining virtues living bravely amongst a sea of barbarians - us.

“Metrosexual”
Hate it. What does it even mean?

Men’s Rights
Social Justice Warrior
Feminazi

Brother from another mother

I’ll touch base with you

Awesome sauce

Boo-ya!
ETA: BFF, or even worse, bestie

mmm

Tá sé ann san Stát-sheirbhís. :frowning:

“F Bomb”. Fuck you if you can’t come right out and say it.

“Everything happens for a reason.”

Forgot to include “I’ve got your six”. OK if you’re a fighter pilot, stupid if you’re not.

“It’s the principle of the thing” — a phony reason to explain why I am justly so riled up over something quite petty.

“Selfie”

“Driving is a privilege, not a right” Whenever I see that old chestnut dragged out, it’s always part of some obnoxious declaration.

I have to deal with somebody that uses “exposably” instead of “supposedly”. And he uses it a LOT. It’s like fingernails on the chalkboard of my soul.

I PAY TAXES, therefore I get to be an entitled dick.

“Bubby” or “sissy” when used to reference one of their children, especially as it relates to another of their kids. For example, “go ask Bubby if he wants to play.”

Two recent constructions commonly used to satirize others’ views:

“the <adjective used as an abstract noun>,” as in “the crazy,” “the stupid,” “the gay,” etc.

Also, closely related, “because <noun>” without an “of.” Here’s a post from another thread as an example.

Yep, and throw in “the N word”, or any other word that you say without saying. If you don’t want to say nigger, don’t say nigger. Anyone who uses “the N word” should be forced to watch Louis CK’s rant over and over, Clockwork Orange style.

How about people who deliberately mispronounce words, because they think it’s cute? It isn’t, and it only makes you harder to understand.

“Tyler Perry presents…”

“Hacks”, life hacks, food hacks, seppeku hacks (ok, maybe not that one, cuz if you use hack in this sense, I encourage you to try it out)… These are not hacks, these are tips, shortcuts or urban legends that are almost invariably complete horse shit.
