    I like to ask them, “so exactly how much less could you care?”

    when anyone says "I love Big Bang Theory"

    my GF said she liked that show. We almost broke up. We're working through it, but it's not easy.

    DTMF

    Dual Tone – Multi Frequency?

    Must be a Big Bang Theory joke I don't remember. I know @MeeseeksAndDestroy would because of her weekly Big Bang Theory puppet show on YouTube where she acts out the previous episode with puppets.

    I agree that "YOLO" is cringe worthy, but the theory behind it isn't. Something I'm trying to grasp right now...

    No, the notion behind it and/or saying "you only live once" is fine.. I just see no reason to abbreviate it when you're talking to someone or use it as an excuse to be an *kitten* to everyone you meet.

    Though every time I hear someone say it (either way), I think of the James Bond film "You Only Live Twice" and the subsequent song. :D

    "Chester drawers" (????) You mean, "chest of drawers"?

    "I could care less." No, no, no!

    ANYTHING with the word "Bae" in it.

    OMG, how did I forget about "I could care less"?!

    For those that don't understand why this is cringe-worthy (I'm SURE there must be some of you out there who are wondering "what's wrong with that?")

    When people say this they almost always mean the exact opposite! This phrase is used to imply "I don't care at all"
    When I talk to other grammar nerds I like to say "I could care more... a LOT more"

    @juliemouse83 - I love that post and I could care less about reading more of your cringe worthy sayings.
    Exactly! If you could care less, whatever it is matters to you at least a tiny bit. If you couldn’t care less, then the subject doesn’t matter at all to you.

    When someone says, "I didn't hear a word you said!"

    Really? How do you know I said something then?

    It's possible to hear sound without making sense of it.

    Sometimes I can hear that someone is speaking but I am absolutely not paying attention to them so I have no idea what they've just said

    There have been times where I suddenly realize my office mate has been talking to me the whole time when I thought he was on the phone or something so I tuned him out.

    I understand both of these situations and that is acceptable, but what really makes me angry is when they say that and then just walk off, because evidently they really didn't care what I was saying. My husband does all that the time and I just want to slap him!

    I get that all the time, and I understand. I am extremely soft-spoken, so, especially if I was in a hurry to get my point across, I sound like one of the adults in Charlie Brown’s life (wa-wa, wa-wa-wa-waa, etc). It’s clear that my lips were moving, but the other person isn’t sure what came out.

    My bad

    Agreed-I hate this. Bad is an adjective, not a noun. I look at my kid & say, "My bad what?"

    Language evolves, so it might be only a matter of time before it's recognized as a noun.

    Your kids could very well be linguistic pioneers.

    Precisely what my child does to me.
