"not tonight dear, I've got a headache"

[STD]

"...not so much."

[silks]

The word "party" when used as a verb.

"Let's party!"
"We partied all night!"

Makes me think of a bunch of people sitting around with silly hats and noisemakers.


Also, whenever anybody uses the word "proactive" I want to break their kneecaps.

[helterskeletor]

"...not so much."

that's the worst, and it's always said in the exact same irritating tone of voice.

No. I'm the one who says things.

[Leticia]

"drinky mcdrinkerson" or any variation.

For some reason I love these. I never say them, but I still think they're funny.

It's definitely because none of my friends ever used it that much if at all.

There's a spanish phrase i always hated and it was "Come Boca". Which literally translates into mouth eater, but it's meant to refer to someone who hangs around other people to hear gossip.
It was overused when I was a kid. I couldn't eat in the same room with someone without the teen girls calling me that. Just go to another room if you think I'm listening to you!

"Katie barred the door" Thats some kinda down south redneck shit.
My mom would always say if you mess up or come in drunk again its gonna be "katie barred the door". I hated it/
I also have no idea what it even means.


AT:drunk:

[skyscraper]

how about "best foot forward"?
even just on a grammatical level, it should be "better foot forward" unless you have more than two feet.
but at some point, if I understand the mechanics of walking, eventually your other foot has to come forward also.

also, my boss says "okey dokey" all the fucking time, even to clients. that is more than just annoying, it is reason enough to drop us as their architects, frankly. if my architect, lawyer, doctor, or any other professional said that, I might just fire them. I don't need ned flanders as my professional.

[SouthSideJohnny]

Long story short

The worst thing about this is that they don't say it until AFTER they already spent five minutes boring the hell out of you with a boring, pointless story.

My own addition is anything involving "synergy" or "leveraging" or both in the same sentence.

[ANC]

Just had someone say this to me today "See ya next year"

Huh? Oh I get it because I won't see you until after December 31st right? HAHAHAHAAAA you're a card you! :furious:

I'll bump this thread with another annoying expression:
"It's all well and good."
well, which is it?
my source for a lot of these annoyances is my boss. no coincidence, he is annoying.

[at least pretend]

Yes, corporate speak! Simply the worst. There is a never-ending buffet of acronyms and phrases.

I hear all the time:

"Get the low hanging fruit."
"That's the sizzle."
My boss always uses the word "pertinent" I hate it!
"to piggyback off of what he said..."
"I'll quarterback it from here."
When boss referred to the group I'm in as "folks"
"we're the best in the business!"
"good stuff"

Just heard a hayseed caller from Wednesday's show say "long story short", and you can pretty much be sure that when someone says that the story is not going to be short.

And it's also going to be the most jumbled ass backward boring piece of shit you could ever imagine.

If you use the phrase "long story short", you're a shitty story teller and should never tell another story again.

[Philip]

same difference

That is by far the worst phrase ever.

Also not as popular, but when someone's like "yeah a million buck shy of being a millionaire".

Just shut the fuck up.

[fezident]

Somebody prob already mentioned this one but:

"If you looked up ______ in the dictionary, you'd see his picture."

(insert "lazy" or "blowhard" or whatever.)



Another one that bugs me is; "ya can't judge a book by it's cover". Yes you can, and you should. The PURPOSE of the cover is to tell you a bit about the book. Unless their referring to just the plain cardboardy cover. Then... yeah... ya can't judge the book by it. Shutting up now.

[Melk]

I especially dislike "shit the Bed." Like, "The Detroit Lions really shit the bed this season." I understand the meaning of the line, I just hear people using it far to often. I suppose it will be ingrained in the public psyche when the hippopotamus in Madagascar or some other sassy cartoon character voiced by a black actress says it in a movie trailer.

I also hate when a person native English speaker misuses a word, phrase or verbal crutch is corrected, then proceeds to continue using the bastardized phrase. These people are usually white and are usually the first to complain about how ethnic minorities butcher the English language. They say things like:

"supposibly" instead of "supposedly"
"probally" instead of "probably"
"lai-berry" instead of "library"

I used to work in an office that had to take meetings with important clients all the time and my superiors would spout numerous mistakes like these, then get worried when the clients considered the company to be untrustworthy and low-rent.

I also hate when someone says "Poor man's X" more than once a day. (ESD)

[fezident]

"It's like _______ on steroids!"

[evboat]

thought process. As in "here is my thought process" Instead of just saying, " I think.."

[Misteriosa]

i HATE when someone adds, "you know what im saying?" to the end of EVERY statement. i get this a lot with those street types who are trying to sound like they are intelligent. for example:
im trying to go back to school, you know what im saying? cuz im trying to get my GED, you know what im saying? cuz, you know, im trying to take care of mine, you know what im saying? then im'a get my record deal, you know what im saying? and im gonna be big timin' for realz, you know what im saying?

:wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash:

and another one thats starting to annoy me is " _______ is the poor man's _______"

sorry dave, but youre gonna have to find another means of comparison :o

[robot artist]

A catch phrase I particularly loathe is "it's all good" - usually said after something goes wrong, something bad happens, or someone fucks something up.

I've been around the block. I know a thing or two about a thing or two... and guess what? It isn't all good. In fact, most of it sucks, and it's going to get worse before it gets better. Just sayin'.

[CofyCrakCocaine]

I hate the catchphrase "I hate X/Y/Z"- shut the fuck up. You likely don't actually Hate it. Hate's a strong emotion and you likely just dislike it. This applies to everyone who uses the phrase, me included, because it's just another example of how people try to act like they're making pithy commentary on the unenlightened masses, like anybody can possibly know that something 99% of the population does doesn't quite tickle your motherfucking finicky fancy.

If you hated it, you'd be doing all you can not to beat someone to death for committing these things you hate.

Get over yourselves. Me too!

[robot artist]

i HATE when someone adds, "you know what im saying?" to the end of EVERY statement.

Man-oh-Manishevitz, I totally agree with you. This is the one time I can honestly say - "...yes, I do know what you're sayin!"

It usually follows a statement that was so garbled and poorly worded that you didn't really understand it at all - or one so obvious that a five year old could decipher the intent.

What a horrible verbal crutch; and one that seems to have infected at least two generations of dim-witted miscreants... you know what I'm sayin?

[CofyCrakCocaine]

All of these phrases are better than "UHHHHH... " and "UMMMM...", you gotta give 'em that much!

[robot artist]

"Katie barred the door" Thats some kinda down south redneck shit.
My mom would always say if you mess up or come in drunk again its gonna be "katie barred the door". I hated it/
I also have no idea what it even means.

This dates back to ye olden times, when people actually had a big ol' wooden or metal bar that went across the inside of their doors to keep them locked.

The phrase isn't "Katie barred the door" - that would be the past tense; and as you indicated, doesn't make sense when applied to your imbibing of libations.

It's "Katie bar the door" - meant to act as a precautionary measure - in this case, either bar the door to keep you out because you're drunk, or bar the door to keep your mother inside and prevent her from getting her hands on you.

You know what I'm sayin?

[Philip]

the adjective -- hella. Mostly used by west coaster, "these waves are hella sweet."

In fact, people who use the word sweet to describe something cool really bother me.

[Philip]

I hate when people say, "Well first of all..........." When they don't have a second of all.

Haha, that's a good one, I've probably done this without even realizing it.
