"TMI"and “too much information.”
Both just irritate me, more so than someone who actually gives me too much information.
Took me just a minute, but damn that was funny!
Anyone else notice how people get the concept of ‘the bottom line’ stuck in their heads so completely that they end up peppering their conversation with it ad nauseam? Ehh, yep it’s just me.
‘The bottom line’ is a perfectly apt metaphor sometimes, but sweet bearded Jesus, both my boss and my roommate got addicted to this phrase at the same time, and a fter a month or so, it began to lose its meaning to me. Instead of following what they were saying I would just indulge some murderous fantasies.
DIVA
For god’s sake, let it die.
“That was sooo funny, I was laughing hysterical.”
Well, were you laughing AND you were hysterical?
Or, were you laughing hysterically?
P.S. - The word “Like” should be surgicaly removed from everyone’s vocabulary. It’s, like, so annoying!!!
Like, Whatever.
brain aneurism
That single phrase is enough to give me a headache.
“I’ll take a cup of expresso please”.
There is no “X” in the word. It’s espresso.
ANY phrase that is Politicaly Correct.
As a matter of fact, “Politically Correct” is annoying all by itself!
“You go girl”
Ugghhhhhhhhhhhhh
“Having said THAT…”
I think that was John Madden at the Wimbledon Finals. 
I heard THAT!
You got THAT right!
I hear you.
:rolleyes:
Even better than “I hear you” is “I feel you”. Get your damn hands offa me!
And then there’s “think outside the box”. Anyone caught uttering these words will be boxed about the ears.
Irregardless
People, regardless already means without regard, it is already negative! What are you putting that extra syllable in there for!? It’s not going to get more negative if you keep adding prefixes to it! Grrr.
How about the phrase,“I didn’t know whether to shit or go blind.”
Old and tired on its own, it acquires vibrant new life with the addition of its seldom-used trailer, “…so I just closed one eye and farted.”
How about “Back in the day?”
I can’t seem to find the thread I opened asking about the origin of this very thread, but from the replies it appears that it came out of the gang culture. Why would anyone want to identify with that, unless they do belong to it? Yet I hear the phrase being used more and more.
Nobody has mentioned “redouble” yet. A common example is, “we need to redouble our efforts to eliminate using stupid words.” Dictionary.com simply says it means “to double”, so I don’t see why the damn re is even there! As I see it, this word should mean to increase something fourfold. You double it, and then you double it again, in other words redouble it. I hear this one on the news a lot, which makes it even more annoying.
Featherlou
you are my newest hero and I’m stealing that line for my new sig. I am now working on throwing that
into my conversations on a regular basis.
So much so, that perhaphs it will show up in this thread in about a year
I’m personally sick of people rearranging restaurant names. Taco Hell, Jack in the Crack, Crappleby’s, whatever the hell fuck people call McDonald’s-these were only mildly amusing when they debuted years ago. Now they’re just annoying.
Today in the library, I inadvertantly overheard three of my fellow college students discuss whether Taco Smell and Feela-Chik were still open in the student union. I managed to stifle my urge to scream “For fuck’s sake, are you people 12 years old? Couldn’t the brain power used to generate these inanities be better spent elsewhere?”
My bad !
Huh?? You’re bad …what?? Complete the sentence!!!
