"Irregardless" totally drives me insane.
This one also bugs me. My husband told me that he saw it in print!0 -
I find the phrase "it's not even funny" to be both completely overused and almost never applicable in the situations that it's said in.
For example: "God, I feel so sick right now, it's not even funny!"
I mean, really? If you were just a little bit sick ,would be both be giggling right now?

"Everything happens for a reason." I feel like it's just a way to help someone deal with a situation and for some reason drives me bananas.
Hahaha....my husband posted this on facebook today "Everything happens for a reason, but sometimes that reason is that you're stupid and make bad decisions"0 -
I roll my eyes whenever I hear someone say "mute point."
ETA: before someone accuses me of ignorance, yes, I do know it's "moot"...
Well, Joey on "Friends" thinks its a "moo point". ;-)0 -
Preggo....short for pregnant. It seems so trashy and backwards.0

yolo and swag if the persona saying is NOT being ironic.
I recently found out that YOLO wasn't a person's name, as I'd previously thought. I thought they'd just done something that a person on Jersey Shore (or whatever TV show) would do. "I just ate ice cream. YOLO!!!!"
But swag I only know in the context of shwiggity shwag, what's in the bag? And I like that one.
The most annoying expression is "Regards". I HATE it when people sign "regards" at the end of their emails. "Kind regards." "Warm regards." WHAT ARE YOU EVEN SAYING I HATE YOU0 -

When I hear "preggo" I think of spaghetti sauce. lol I hate that term too0 -
"could be worse"
yeah thanks, doesn't mean all my problems have magically disappeared...0 -
Also...words shortened for the sake of trendiness...like "Oh she's just jelly" (as in jealous) and girls adding in the word "so" unnecessarily like "are you SOOOO excited?!"
OMG! I hate that too. I was watching last season of American idol, and every time, Jennifer Lopez said, "I got goosies..." I got irritated, It's goosebumps!!0 -
"It is what it is."
Really? Thank you for that clarification, Captain Obvious!0 -
"Let's play it by ear" I don't know why but when someone says this, I get REALLY annoyed.0
-
Mine is
"I don't care"!
I would rather hear
"it's OK with me"
I hate the phrase
"I don't care"!0 -
Since someone brought up things that people say at the loss of a loved one I have a few that make me boil in anger.
1. God only takes the best. Even evil people die. All people die.
2. At least (insert name here) isn't suffering anymore. Yes, but now I am suffering so please just pay your respects.
3. When a death occurs around the time of a holiday ..."how sad that they died at Christmas..." death is hard for the loved ones no matter when it happens..how dare you minimize someone else's suffering by making some one else's pain more significant because of when it occured in the calendar year.
4. Surrounding a miscarriage or death of a child "You can have another one."0 -
Anything with "retarded" in it. I find it horribly disrespectful.0
-
"Everything happens for a reason"...bleh!
Yeah, they are trying to say that bad things that happen (or that other people do) are actually good things. How does that help? It doesn't. Some things are bad and we just need to face that, so we can heal and move forward without trying to pretend everything is actually just good. We need to have compassion for all the different bad things that happen in this world, not claim it was just for everyone's own good.0 -
I know someone who says "sithers" instead of "scissors". It' like nails on a chalkboard.
Also when someone says "supposeably" instead of "supposedly"...
...I think I just hate when people mispronounce words intentionally. And when my sister misspells things intentionally (she is 15 and she thinks it's cool)0 -
"That's what I'm talking about" especially when it's just mumbled.
"Otay" for Okay
Improper usage of "I" (didn't we ALL have to pass English in school?)0 -
4. Surrounding a miscarriage or death of a child "You can have another one."0
-
"You know what I mean?" at the end of every other sentence. Umm...no. If I knew, I wouldn't be listening to your explanation -__-
"Everything happens for a reason." I feel like it's just a way to help someone deal with a situation and for some reason drives me bananas.
"He/She is in a better place now." Don't say this to people after they have lost someone. It doesn't help.
The "You know what I mean?" also irks me. Or rather "you know what I'm saying?"
My friend does it to me ALL THE TIME. He's always looking for that "uh huh" interjection from me while he talks. I always ask him why he needs me to always agree with him. ;-)0 -
When the word death is used instead of deaf or vice versus. :grumble:
Several already stated as well but I think the top one is "I know, right?"0
