My 10 year old's new phrase is "I know..right?" I get it, but it drives me nuts0
-
I really hate it when people say "literally" and follow with something that is not literal.
I also hate, "That's so random."
Or "I did a 360" when they mean a 180.0 -
I'm mildly irritated by people who misuse "beg the question" or "split the baby," but I've mostly given up.
I'm strongly irritated by using "like" in place of "um" or "says." That was a Valley Girl thing 30 years ago, and the pre-teens are STILL FRICKIN SAYING IT!!! DO YOU SERIOUSLY MEAN "LIKE" IS GOING TO, LIKE, OUTLIVE ME?0 -
I hate when people say "funnier" that's not a word... it's "more fun"! :noway:
But, "funnier" is a word, i.e. "his joke was funnier than mine." Now, if you meant "funner," then, I agree because that's not a word.:flowerforyou:
Correct!! Funnier is the comparitive form of the adjective funny!!! Sorry OP!!0 -
Or "I did a 360" when they mean a 180.
Oh my goodness, completely forgot about this one! My kids were taught at a young age if you do a 360, you'll just be right back where you started! That one litterally drives me crazy! But I could care less. (sorry, couldn't help myself, but I really do hate the 360 thing)0 -
Irregardless, it is what it is, because you can have your cake and eat it to. Surely you can't be serious? I am serious but I could care less.

“.................... is so ADDICTING!”
Whether it be ice-cream, chocolate, this video game, whatever. It’s ****ing annoying. Use “addictive” people!
I also find it irritating when people rather emphatically exclaim “That’s what I’m talking about!” after someone else’s comment.
Ummmm, no buddy, you weren’t talking at all. If anything that’s what you’re “listening about”.0 -
My wife always says " Not tonight, I have a headache"..
Every freaking night? I just don't get it or get "It".
You gotta take George Burn's advice. He waited till supper was over, the dishes were done- till the little wifey was ready to sit down and relax- walk over and had her a glass of water and 2 pain relievers (whatever she normally takes)....
and when she asks, "What's *this* for?"
You reply, "For your headache."
When she looks @ you dumbfounded and replies, " But I don't have a headache....."
Welllllllll, there ya go.......
BUT it'll only work ONCE.
The next night she'll be on to you.0 -
I get irritated @ the
"Ya know what I'm sayin'?"
it is such an arrogant remark
I gotta bite my tongue, cuz the whole time I'm thinkin'
Noooooooooooo.....I'm a complete moron...........can you please draw pictures????????0 -
A friend at work is constantly interjecting the words, "You know what I'm saying?" throughout every conversation we have. I have even tried saying back each time, "Yes. I know what you're saying." But she never blinks. Just keeps on talking and talking and saying that phrase! I start smiling as soon as she starts talking because everybody else in the office gets what I'm doing. :happy: :happy:
Oh, we must have the same co-worker! I work with a lady that says that and "you know" or "I mean" in EVERY sentence she says. It is so annoying... but another co-worker and I make a game of seeing how many times she says it in any given conversation.
I find myself counting, too. Sometimes lose the train of her thought. Not a real big loss, usually!0 -
-
"I could care less". Well yes, You could care less in fact. It should be "I couldn't care less."
It burns my *kitten* to see it!
^^^THIS! It was literally the first thing that popped into my head
Why do people say it ARGHHHH!
(and it seems to be those in the US that get it wrong most. Im not hating just making an observation)0 -
"Go big or go home!" I'm not trying to offend anyone by saying this, but the origin of this phrase comes from the bar scene where at 2am (closing time), all of the hot girls are already taken. So the phrase is meant to mean either you sleep with an overweight girl or go home.
Oh, and it's spelled "Grammar."0 -

Irregardless were loosing are patients with ewe!0 -
I hate when strangers walk past me and say "cheer up, it may never happen" .. what may never happen?!..
You don't know my life so why even make any comment. I usually just respond with "it already has"
This is guaranteed to make me angry :explode:0 -
'You can't have your cake and eat it...'
WHY NOT?! If you are going to give me cake and tell me I can't eat it then why give it to me in the first place.
....I now REALLY want some cake!
I looked this up one time and the original quote is apparently "you can't eat your cake and have it too" because once you've eaten it it's gone. Or more accurately moved to your butt or thighs...0 -
I cringe inside when people say irregardless...
I want to stop them in their tracks and say "NO! That's NOT a WORD!!"
But I don't because I haven't yet been appointed to the role of grammarnazi... I have applied, however. :drinker:0 -
"SERIOUSLY?!"
No I'm just kidding! OF COURSE I'M SERIOUS!
I agree completely!0 -

EXACTLY!!! Id like to see someone put a piece of cake in front of me and try and stop me from eating it.. don't they realize im fat for a reason.. that reason is cake.. and i'll be damned if they try and stop my from eating some cheesecake!!
It's because the cake is a lie.
Also that ^ is a saying I don't get :I0 -
Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?
How are you getting the milk for free if you didn't buy the cow?!0 -
You only live once.
No ****... I could have sworn I was gonna live twice.0 -
How about this one (its supposed to make you all laugh)
"Dont get your panties in a bunch" my bf says it all the time.. so my new come back is.... "leave my wedgie out of this and stop looking at my butt you freak" ;p hahaha
Absolutely amazing! LOL!0 -
When people past the age of 12 describe everything as AWESOME. Expand your vocabulary!0

It's a quote from the game Portal, that became an internet meme. Give it a few more years and it'll mostly disappear. Unless they make another sequel game.0 -
My husband is a hillbilly from Missouri and he grew up with some strange sayings:
1) He/She is as rotten as a fence post. (I guess they have some OLD rotted out fence posts in the sticks? LOL.)
2) Your *kitten* is the blackest. (If he loses an argument and is found to not be correct. WHAT??)
So many more I can't think of. He's full of them. LOL.
Driving through Oklahoma City, OK once and stopped to get gas. An old man tipped his hat at me and said hello. Then he said, "COULDA GOT A BLUE ONE FOR A QUARTER MORE." I just smiled and looked at him like umm, ok? I got back in the car and told my husband and he laughed his *kitten* off. The old man laughed and shook his head at me as he drove off. I still don't get it!?!? My husband says he gets it, but yet is unable to explain it to me? I've asked others about it and they basically said that the old man was calling me spoiled because I had a nice, shiny, red car. I dunno though!? LOL!!!! I will NEVER forget that one.0 -
"It is what it is"
I don't really get it.
YOLO
That's not an excuse to do stupid stuff.0 -

I've never understood that one either.
Its probably made sense 400 years ago.0 -
Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?
How are you getting the milk for free if you didn't buy the cow?!
well apparently there is a large 'milk straight from the cow' theft ring going on that we don't know about LOL0 -
