    unthaw

    supposably (OMG! I want to freaking scream when I hear this. My SIL says it. She's supposed to be an educated and intelligent person… but I have a hard time believing it whenever I hear her say this!)

    I suppose there is a possibility your SIL is simply being clever and instead of saying she is going to freeze something, she says "unthaw"?

    To be honest, I don't care how they are doing. It is just a greeting. I don't believe that most people who ask that question actually care about the truthful answer.

    If they are truly doing good, I want to hear about it. In that case, though, I would want to know specifics. They could say, "I've been rescuing kittens in my spare time." I would love to hear about that!

    So you're put off by the way someone responds to a question when you don't care about the answer? Irregardless, I have an easy solution, don't ask the question. Just say 'hello', 'good morning', etc.... 10 of one, half dozen of the other. :wink:

    I'm annoyed when someone uses "good" as an adverb regardless of the circumstances.

    Not that you're wrong, but I used to work with a guy that used 'irregardless' at least 5 times a day... it used to set my teeth on edge. Then I realized that life (mine anyway) is too short to sweat such minor details.

    Thank you for coming up with the answer to all of life's challenges! I had no idea that I could just ignore these things that annoy me! *sarcasm*

    Please consider that it may not be easy for some people to just forget the small things. People who have anxiety issues cannot do that as easily. I realize you may not have known that about me; but it is universally true that if someone wanted to just ignore something, then s/he would just do so without suggestion.

    I'm just trying to help you understand my perspective.

    And I was just sharing my perspective... we good bro?

    Fair enough.

    Hearing "He did it off his own back" drives me crazy - it's "BAT", FGS!

    Then there's "Talking ten to the dozen" to mean someone is speaking quickly - errrr, 10 is less than a dozen - or it was last time I checked

    And "I could of...", instead of "I could have..."

    Sorry to be such a pedant!

    Could of instead of could have does my bleedin' head in - do you reckon its a Stokey thing?

    I don't know this phrase. Do you mean "right off the bat?"

    Not a saying but a new word.........maybe. So my coworker is getting ready to do an injection on a patient and is explaining something to him, when she uses the word "manipulize" and in my head I'm thinking "that isn't a word...... is it? No definitely not, hmm sounds like a real word though, umm maybe I just haven't heard it before, no, no, definitely not a word." So I asked later, nope not a word, but it would be a lovely way to marry Manipulate and monopolize. Word combining can be fun.
