You bet Veb, mama taught me to always share. 
The phrase “I could care less” really irritates me too.
Now it’s my turn to be a wordy, pompus twit. The original correct phrase that actually means something is “I couldn’t care less”
When you say “I could care less” it means you care and it is possible to care less. When you say “I couldn’t care less” it means that there is zero caring and it is impossible to care less.
The phrase “same difference” bugs me too.
Please step away from the vehicle.
Ok Lauren, you say one more “I need to lose weight/ I’ll give in and heifer this miniscule piece of food” comment and I just might smack you into next Tuesday. And adding to the fact that you tease me b/c of my “jock” stuff, I can and will get upset when I hear the heifering stuff when I know perfectly well that you aren’t fat. In fact, you’re borderline underweight.
Hey, Tig, plop onto the futon and let’s bond, m’kay?
Our host, aha, is a hip-swivelling, genuine rock icon who’s sensibly prowling the boards with high intent, low cunning, life experience and a taste for naturally carbonated wine.
The pissant, attitude-drenched phrase was, “don’t know and could care less.”
Shall we discuss points off and penalties for misuse?

Talk to the hand…
Thank you. I have to step in and agree here. There was even a pit thread about this where some newbie got their ass handed to them via some flames from a lot of fed-up people (myself included, I think). If you’re not happy and you smile, it can make you even MORE unhappy. Putting on a happy face, contrary to popular belief and some pop culture songs, does not make you happy par definition.
Smiling used to hurt my mouth a helluva lot more than it does now. Right now I have a few cankersores, among other things (terminally chapped lips).
As for being overweight . . . glory. High school is the kind of place where if you have one ounce in the “wrong” place (or not enough in the “right” place) you’re either a cow or a rail. My guess is you, like Tasha and Jess, aren’t close to overweight. Both of them could (probably should) gain ten pounds or so and look incredible. However, without a picture I’ll have to go with skugs and hyprgrl and suggest you think about things more important than your weight. Your grades, for example. Or the paint job in your room:)
BTW, just a suggestion, but saying “you’re not fat” isn’t nearly as effective as saying “you look beautiful”. In my experience.
I’m full of these damn things. Every ignorant fuck around me who says “I could care less” also says “Irregardless” which is not even a word. I also really hate “I’m outie” snd its new popular response, “Late!”. Where the hell are you People from??? Damn them all!!!
“Ain’t no thang but a chicken wang” may stay, however, as can “Buck up, buckaroo!”. I mean, that’s just cuuuuute!
So how many forms has “cool” taken during your (cognizant) lifespan?
iampunha: You look beautiful.

“Perception is reality” - my ex-bosses favorite - drive me nuts. The hell it is.
Much like the intent of (cue drumroll for annoying saying) “Fake it 'til you make it.”
It even works, despite rhyming.
“Know what I’m sayin’?” after every third word.
AARGH! When someone pulls this one on me, I just want to punch him (invariably a him) in the face, and I’m a nonviolent person. No other phrase pisses me off quite as much as this one. It translates roughly to “What a goddamned stupied idea that is.”
Oh please, if smiling hurt your mouth so much, you wouldn’t laugh quite as much at my little random odd things I say. But I’ll agree with you on the fake smiles. They suck.
“happy camper”
“big time”
“You’re talking outta your face.”
This is popular with my co-workers. When they say it to me I answer “I always talk out of my face, that’s were my mouth is. You, on the other hand, are talking out of your ass.”
They never say this particular phrase to me any more.

Dude…Dude? DUUUUUUDE!!!

Is that your final answer? (Grrrr…)
-
The tribe has spoken :rolleyes:
-
Do you know why I pulled you over? (Not exactly a pop culture phrase, but I still hate it…)
-
Your shit don’t stink!
“Let’s do lunch!”
(No thanks, I’d rather do my wife.)
“Touch Base”
(Unless we’re playing baseball, I don’t want to hear it.)
“You go, girl!”
( You go. Go fuck yourself! )
And one of the worse, is like when, you know, they were all like Yeah I Know!, and he was all like No Way!, so like I was all like, you know, Get Outta Town!, ya know?, and like…
and so he goes “you better not repeat that” and then I go" oh, ok" and then she * goes *…
Really stupid.
