    "He's such a Nimrod" being meant as a negative slur. If you look up the name "Nimrod" you will find that he was in the Old Testament of the Bible and listed as "A great and mighty hunter".

    People down east (in North America) use some in an annoying way! They say things like "Your daughter is some pretty" or "that was some annoying"... seriously? I feel like they are saying partially and it drives me nuts! lol It just isn't in my non east vocabulary

    Where on earth is "down east" ??

    Well actually saying you "could care less" says you actually care as you could actually care less than you are already.

    However

    If you "couldn't care less" then you well and truly could not give two s**** about it... you honestly don't care...

    Quite different the two phrases, and is annoying when people mix them up...

    I have never heard/seen anyone say "I could care less" as anything other than a way of trying to convey that they don't care...and it's wronnnnng

    I'm not from the South, and people here say "or either" ALL the time and it makes my ears bleed. "You could go that way, or either you could go this way." GAHHH!

    "Also too." Why? Just.. why????

    I also hate it when people repeat something they find amusing, after the phrase "you said". Ex:

    me: I want to high-five him. In the face.
    her: haha you said you want to high-five him in the face!
    Uh, I know. I just said it! ?!?!??!?!

    I just recently moved to California from Chicago and I hear the word "hella" all the time here.

    "that shirt is hella cute" or "he is hella sexy". It makes me want to high five them in the face with a chair

    :laugh: I'm from northern California. Live here long enough and you'll be using it too :happy:

    I think because it irritates the piss out of me- it will be very unlikely that I will ever say it. It doesn't even make sense to me, check with me in six months from now :wink: I might owe you a drink

    LOL Hella is used in place of words like really, very, extremely and so on. One phrase commonly used is "that's hella tight" lol meaning that's really cool.

    I hate when people say, "that's funny", but they don't laugh. I want to punch them in the throat. Or, maybe even cut them.

    Reading through all of these made me think of another.. My fiance always says "Ya know?" or "Ya know what I mean." Then he keeps talking! More often than not, I DON'T know or I DON'T know what he means!! :grumble:

    Okay so this is an offshoot of the "one word that makes you cringe" topic.

    Mine is "It is what it is..." I can't stand it when someone says that. It is totally over used, and makes no sense whatsoever.
    '

    Done in one.

    With 'Do what now?' as a follow up.

    When people tell me to pray for something that requires actual effort. I get praying when you're grieving or stressed or something in a calming or meditative way. I get it, I do. But....

    When I was unemployed and needed a job, people would say "oh honey just go home and pray and god will work it out for you." "don't worry about paying your bills, God will take care of it if you pray hard enough"
    Um no. I need to go fill out applications and keep Trying to get a job, because God isn't hiring nor is he sending magical cash advances through the heavens into my bank account."
