One phrase that people say that make you CRAZY!

10acity

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. I could be having a really bad day and don't feel like smiling!

OMG you people! Like, I could care less, ya know. This thread is so retarded, it weighs more than fat. It's totally Jewish. LOL. My bad. Fail.

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 agree irreguardless :explode: :mad: :explode:

I do say "6 of one a 1/2 dozen of the other" when used correctly it is an effective way of saying two things are the same or that you have no prefercen b/c either of teh choice you are presented with are ok choices.

haha... i hate it when people say Swagger or Swag

people with tee shirts that say "i got swagga" or "i have 99 problems but my swag ain't one of them"

oh that reminds me... i hate "ain't" as well...

sundancer1966

I have a couple of them.

My father and his woman (they have been engaged for 10yrs) always say "Like you would not believe" almost every sentence ends like that. For example, "the cookie was good like you would not believe" No, I don't believe it, and I don't want to find out. Oh and my favorite when they meet some one new "they treated us like family like you would not believe" That does not even make sense.

Also another one from them " it is truly gourmet" that is the description of everyplace they go to eat. she would not recognize gourmet cooking if it hit her over the head. Well, to be fair, she uses both spices, salt and pepper.

I've heard way to many people IRL and on TV say "you a lie" usually to men. What the heck does that mean "you a lie?" how about you are a LIAR!

monicamk1975

"I can't count calories, its too hard"

LOL

Really?

Counting is hard? Then you are too lazy to get into better shape. Stay fat.

And stop asking me how to lose weight if you have no real interest in doing it. It drives me nuts to have the same people ask me over and over again.

I hate when people type "end rant" or "rant over". What is the point of that? I can tell it's over because there are no more words after it.

"why you mad, bro?"

A. I am not mad just because I am not afraid to debate. I can enjoy a debate even when I vehemently disagree with my "opponent" and stay rather calm.
B. I am not your brother.
C. Therefore, please don't quote my post and add beneath it "why you mad, bro?"

Thanks!

[ ***awaits numerous future quotations of this post with the phrase "why you mad, bro?" and other disparaging remarks - you guys are so funny! ;-)*** ]

It doesn't really bother me exactly, but I always notice when people say they "feel nauseous." The correct way to say it is "feel nauseated." Nauseous means that it causes nausea.

"No offense, but"....

Basically means i'm about to say something that's going to piss you off but you can't get mad since I said that.

Cnsa143

I soooooo hate when someone says "You feel me?" NO I dont feel you shut up!

Or "WOW I didnt know she get down like that!" WOW AGAIN people just stop tallking you're hurting my ears!

Or even "To cut a long story short" Come on stupid your story was already LONG, saying that stupid phrase is making it longer

AND "My people will call your people" ALL IM SAYING IS IT IS ANNOYING!!!!

Also "It's not rocket science"

and "With all due respect" means you're about to piss me off, but you're going to soften the blow

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.

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?

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.

I can guarentee a cup of fat and a cup of muscle do not weigh the same. That's like saying a cup of water and a cup of styrofoam weigh the same. In terms of the phrase, when you say "muscle weighs more than fat" the person is refering to volume and people get butt hurt but essentially it's true. Of course everyone knows that a pound of A is going to equal a pound of B.

"same difference"

i HATE that.. doesnt make any sense!

Well, actually...

4-2=2
5-3=2

So, 2 is actually the same difference.

Forgive me, I'm an accountant. :flowerforyou:

I HATE irregadless. :explode:

And when people want to take something out of the freezer to de-thaw. You either thaw it, or defrost it. If you de-thaw something are you re-freezing it?

"It's God's plan. Remember that God is in control..." Etc, etc, etc.

Yes, I fully believe that God is in control. I know that it's His plan. But sometimes I DON'T need a sermon. Sometimes I just need a friend who will let me just be upset. Just for a moment would you let me be human and cry and not throw religion in my face??

Amen! :laugh:

it's always offensive when they say that...

Fitnin6280

How about "If I can do it, anyone can".

XXXMinnieXXX

"I'm sorry you feel that way"

Because it basically translates to "I'm not sorry I did what I did, only that you responded so poorly". You might as well just keep that to yourself.

Ohhhh I gotta add this one to my list/tyrade.

Hate this too x

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

UGH... my mom used to tell me to smile all the time... I don't want to smile all the time! I'm introverted! I just started telling people I'm not mad... I just have a natural frown.

"at the end of the day"... had to listen to my coworker use that one about 100 times a day until he moved on to "right on"... also annoying.

People that say "sick" or "ill" for something really awesome. Maybe I'm getting old but being either of those things is not awesome... except for Beastie Boys.. they can do no wrong... and they be illin'.

i agree that a cup is a unit of measurement, but in terms of weight, it is not. it is NOT essentially true. the phrase, in and of itself, it NOT true. and i agree, that alot of people understand what this means, however, when posting on forums to newbs about muscle weighing more then fat, and thats why their scale numbers are up, not down, it is simply not resposible usage.

Please use density muscle is 10% more dense than the majority of fats/lipids in your body...

I hate it when people say "Even-no" instead of "Even though".

I also hate when people add an "s" the the end of a word for no reason. example- "I am going to Walmarts"... so does that mean you are going to multiple walmart stores? Or I hear a lot of the kids around here say "thats mines". Drives me crazy.

I agree. Same difference makes sense and I get really mad when people say it doesn't make any sense. I think they don't understand that things can be different but end up the same in the end, like in your example.

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!!

Y'all, did you know that grammar is spelled with an 'a'?

DiannaMoorer

It's a pet peeve of mine when people order the bread for their sandwich in a restaurant. And they are asked would you like white or wheat bread? What do they think the white bread is made out of,rice!!! They are both wheat!! Oh, I remember a girl saying to me that she was trying to get healthier and bought some "wheat rice." !!!! ? Well! I never hears of wheat rice!
