    this one was probably said already but "muscle weighs more than fat" NO it doesnt. a pound is a pound.
    Muscle does weigh more than fat by volume, and that's exactly what people mean when they say that.

    THANK YOU!

    "For all intensive purposes." NO. Intents AND purposes. Don't use it if you don't understand it!

    "Could care less" is a huge one for me, too. You're saying the exact opposite of what you mean!

    "My bad" ughhh...

    I had a boss who used to use the phrase "in leiu of" CONSTANTLY... and never correctly. ex: "In leiu of St. Patrick's Day, you will be permitted to wear jeans tomorrow!" Um, regardless of my attire, it will still be St. Patrick's Day. :grumble:

    "I'll be honest..."

    "Honestly...."

    "To be quite honest..."

    I guess if you don't pre-qualify your statements with one of those, it's safe to say you're lying? Most annoying statements ever.

    Anything involving the phrase "my wonderful husband".......totally makes me want to kick something. Maybe it's because I don't have one. But even when I was married it drove me bonkers!

    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.

    Yes! I hate that! NO! It is what someone made it dang it!

    "To where"...e.g. When this process is implemented it's going to be to where we won't have to use manual reporting any more.

    WTF is "to where"???

    Anything followed by the words "just say'n"!!!!

    YES!!! I cannot stand it when people say "just sayin'".

    I also cannot stand "I know, right?"

    Oh, and when people use the word "is" twice. As in, "The thing is is that..." My bf does this, and it grates.

    Muscle does weigh more than fat by volume, and that's exactly what people mean when they say that.

    THANK YOU!

    not to mention that if said person DOES know what they are talking about, how hard is it to add "BY VOLUME" to the end of a sentence?

    i say, say what you mean, and mean what you say. muscle does not weigh more. period.

    It seems you are the one not saying what you mean. If you mean a pound doesn't weigh more than a pound, then say that. If someone else talks about fat and muscle why assume they have a pound of each or that they even use pounds as a unit of measurement? You do know what happens when you assume, right?

    "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."

    I believe it was Kate Moss who is credited with that phrase. Yeah, I know!

    "well basically, what it is, is basically..."

    or

    "well actually, what I'm actually trying to basically do is..."

    No need to over-use basically or actually!! (There is a man who I work with who does this all the time!)

    " ... really, kinda ... " has always been annoying to me, and it seems to be growing in popularity. i get why it's used, but it makes me think they don't really know how they feel about the topic. i always think to myself that i wish the speaker would think it through first.

    Irregardless.

    6 and 1/2 dozen of the other. God I want to hit someone in the eye sockets when they say that.

    Murse, moobs, or any other variation of the womenly words turned manly by putting an "M" in front of the word. Here's a clue, it's not funny anymore.

    Irregardless :explode: and when typing, people use the word "then" in opposed to "than". :grumble:

    I cringe when I hear "My/your/his/her BAD",
    "Y'all",
    and when people are referred to as "folks", in order of which makes me cringe the most to the least.

    As well, any kind of bad grammer...the worst offender being, "I seen..." when it should be "I saw..." Ugh!

    And I also hate the "You should have..." My mother uses that all the time and it drives me CRAZY!!

    I use y'all all the time! lol... But that goes along with being in the South.

    I hate "my bad"

    But I am from Georgia and Ya'll is just what we say and I never plan to give it up. I also like folks.

    Maybe density "by volume" has 4 different units.

    i meant a pound is a pound. and thats what i said. and it doesnt matter really what they use as a unit of measurement. any "unit" of muscle weighs the same, as that same "unit" of fat. they just take up different amounts of space. the phrase is flawed in that it does not clarify. and it drives me crazy.

    This isn't really a "phrase" but I hate it when people tell me to "Smile". Unless you are taking a picture of me, do not tell me to smile. I am not some monkey in a cage that does tricks like smile on command. Maybe I'm having a really bad day and don't feel like smiling!

    I also hate it when people say "Winning!" as a way of saying how awesome they are. Like "Just arrived at the beach. WINNING!"

    okay, this one isn't a phrase but it drives me crazy when people give me the hand (stop/halt or even "talk to the hand")

    Lately it's been bothering me to hear pregnant women/people telling pregnant women, "as long as it's healthy!" My cousin posted an article on FB about special needs parents, which she is, and this was included. It's great to hope your baby is healthy, but if there is something abnormal (I hate using the phrase "wrong with them," because there is nothing wrong with my cousin. He is perfect, he just has a disorder.) you're still going to love your child and do everything you can for them. At least, I hope so.

    I get that, but that's normally in response to someone asking if you're hoping for a boy/girl isn't it? And the response is, I don't care as long as it's healthy.

    It doesn't mean you won't love an unhealthy child, but of course everybody hopes for a healthy child? What kinda parent would hope for an unhealthy child? :L

    Doesn't mean you won't love your child no matter what, just means you want the best for them in life!

    OOOOHHHHH! I hate that one too! Most of my work is through phones and when someone says "You people" I want to reach through the phone and choke someone. Oops, I mean "us people" wanna reach through the phone and choke someone.
