Yeah, a lot of us think they’re cute to say but when someone Else says them it can be so irritating! For me, “it’s all good” is like the fingernail on the blackboard. How about you?

“Whatever” !!! this word denotes arrogance in the person saying it. yes, i have said it myself. but, now that your question has brought this to my attention, i will reframe from using this word again. thanks for the reminder.
To each his own. Science has the answers. You think you know something but you don’t. You believe you experienced that but you are wrong. And Last You have your right to be wrong.
“6 of one, half dozen of the other.” That how it goes?
I’m sick of “dude, it’s chill”. One because it’s said a lot and anything said enough can become annoying. Two because it’s just a way of saying “pretend everything’s okay even though what I’m doing is angering/annoying you.”
I’m also so sick of “I don’t hate gay people, BUT…” or “I’m not homophobic, BUT…”
When people say they “love, love, LOVE!” something. Why do they need to say it three times?
“Ya see what I’m sayin?” ughhh
Anything from the Jersey Shore.
“A perfect storm of…” How long ago did that book and movie come out?
“My bad.” How about “I’m sorry”?
“She walked back her comments…” This is a current favorite with reporters who apparently are tired of writing, “She backtracked” or “She disavowed” or “She waffled”.
I have a million from my reporting days – these are just the most current.
@JustmeAman I love “to each his own!” LOL ! I definitely say that one.
“Its a free country”
“You just dont understand!” ughhhhh
“I’m sorry” – my inclination is to not do anything to be aorry about. Unlikely reality, but I like to be ambitious!
‘trust me’ and ‘you’d be surprised’ gah
“You have a question that needs editing”.
JK
Perhaps that’s a quip for the meta section. ;-)
I never cared much for “Blow me.” XD
“F” YOU!! Not the 4 letter version…..the single letter F and YOU but now people seem to need to emphasize the “you” so it sounds like “F” “YOUUUUUUUuuuuu”
If you are gonna swear someone off, do it right already!!!
@Cruiser Lol…Yeah, and the phrase ‘D bag’. Douche isn’t that bad of a word.
”‘Refudiate,’ ‘misunderestimate,’ ‘wee-wee’d up.’ English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!’”—a Tweet sent by Sarah Palin in response to being ridicule for inventing the word “refudiate,” proudly mistaking her illiteracy for literary genius, July 18, 2010
And I also hate hearing,“I’m a Maverick”
The one that comes to mind right now “brah” or “breh” ..I notice a lot of young guys use this term. I believe it means bro (friend, brother, pal, etc). I don’t know why it annoys me but it does, lol.
@PluckydoDog Lol…...Yes, like ‘Sup Brrraaaahhhhh!’.
Oh, just thought of another. I’ve only seen this online but have never heard it.
When people use phrases like hai, bai and mai instead of hi, bye and my. It makes my skin crawl, lol.
@Adirondackwannabe You must watch Jersey Shore to know what is from there. :-)
Whatever annoys the living daylights out of me. I just want to slap someone when they say it.
“I could [sic] care less”
“The Land of the Free” (actually that one’s pretty funny)
“Tea Party Movement” (maybe it’s because I’m British, or maybe it’s because their ideas, goals and ‘principles’ have no relation whatsoever to the Boston Tea Party)
“The Holiday Season” (ridiculous Americanism. what, you mean Christmas?)
When people call ganja “cheese”
“Scuse bruv, ya got a spare twenny p?”
“Gissa poun’ mate.”
“Ello darkling, you wan see ping-pong show, ehhhh?”
“Whatever” and “I don’t care” are just my least favourite expressions in general. I tend to say “never mind” a lot in the middle of a sentence and then drop the subject I’m talking about. I hate when other people say it, and when I say it it just drives my friends crazy.
I’m not too thrilled when faced with a serious or difficult situation, and somebody chimes in with, “No worries.”
And I know a lot of people, myself included, that really hate when young waiters and waitresses say, “No problem” when someone asks for something (like ketchup or cream or their change, that should have been there in the first place). It should never have been considered a problem by the waitstaff at all. The better answer that the waitstaff should give is, “Yes, sir/ma’am, I’ll get that for you right away, is there anything else I can get for you?” Said in a polite and sincere manner.
Seeing text-speak in e-mails, blogs and just about anywhere else. It makes me think that everyone is either lazy or illiterate.
Effen this and effen that said around little kids. I don’t like hearing it either, but saying stuff like that around kids is just disgraceful.
Politicians and bosses using the term “transparency” to describe how they will disseminate information to us, knowing full well that they are either lying outright, or keeping pertinent and important information away from us.
Hearing that an abusive or law-breaking actor or actress is going into “rehab” to heal and and rest and deal with their emotional issues. When in reality, it means they’re going into rehab because they’re drunks and druggies and law-breakers and they don’t want to go to jail or prison like the rest of the us would have to for doing the same thing. Mel and Lindsey, you know who you are.
