Does it sound odd to you when people use phrases like "hate on" instead of "hate?"?

Asked by jca (36062points) November 20th, 2013

Sometimes I hear people say things like “why does he hate on me” instead of “why does he hate me?” Someone wrote a question on here, recently, using the same language.

I also hear people sometimes saying things like “yell on” instead of “yell at.” To me, this sounds weird. Why not just say “hate me” instead of “hate on?” Please help me see the light or correct me if I am wrong.
