    I cannot stand hearing or seeing "hella" or "FML".

    "Hella" is just stupid and "FML" is so negative like the person is saying "I give up on my entire life".

    The two most common phrases used by athletes when asked a question: "It is what it is" and "Most definitely." Both of them drive me crazy.

    "Unthaw" - it's not a word, stop using it.

    "Disorientated" - also not a word. I had to stop watching Man vs. Wild years ago because the guy said it so often it ruined whatever enjoyment I might have received in viewing the program.

    "Ironic" when you should use the word "coincidental." The two words do not have the same meaning.

    "Hella" - I really hate this one, especially when it comes out of the mouth of someone my age or older.

    "Seriously?" I so hate it when people say this. An ex-neighbor of mine would say this whenever he was drunk (and he was always drunk), so it gotto the point that when I hear this I just want to smack someone upside the head with a 2X4, or run my fingernails down a chalkboard.

    Another is "It's all good!" - no it isn't!!!!!

    The word "crotch". Why?!? Makes me think of something itchy and unclean for some reason. What an ugly word.

    I can't stand that word either.

    Or panties.

    Or crotchless panties.

    That term straight up nauseates me...

    When people use the word "retard" as an insult. Being a mother of an intellectually disabled child it makes me want to SCREAM!

    this one doesn't bother me as much as "special" ... call each other retard all you want, it is old and over used and as lost most of it's meaning now. But to say the someone is "special" or rides a "special" bus or goes to "special" classes ... that one makes me want to punch someone in the throat!

    My kid is not "special", he is autistic, you *kitten*. GRRRRRRRR

    Don't get all butt hurt! I'm a grown *kitten* man...I do what I wont ( want). I'm hung (meaning hungry). I done did that. Gotta get my hair did. My Boo or sorry Boo. My sexy man (when referring to her boyfriend or husband, every time she mentions him...and he is uglier than homemade soap). Just sayin' (usually following some judgmental comment). His self instead of Himself. Mater or tater instead of tomato or potato. The sto (store). It's Awesome! Bubba and sissy when talking about siblings. Making bank. Good money- I have no clue what dollar amount is equal to good money, so I really hate that phrase. Baller status- again, just stupid.


    A phrase I do like though...Who lit the fuse on your tampon? I really feel that would work well for a male or a female.

    "think outside the box" and "take it to the next level". Both are overused and are now seriously annoying.

    and MFP specific: I HATE the phrase cardio bunny... only because when I run, I don't feel like a bunny. I feel like a fu@king cheetah about to take down an antelope for my dinner RAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWRRRR!!

    That made me laugh, thank you :)
    And yes, this thread is therapeutic, although I will admit that I have been guilty of using some of the phrases / terms.

    Here is my list:
    -"Bro"
    -"YOLO"
    -"Axe" instead of ask.
    -Over use of any pet name, examples being "hun" or "sweetie" or "babe" or anything in relation to those. At my job, some people will call me one of the above names, and with some people, it is fine. With others, it makes my skin crawl and irritates me to the point where I want to smack them over the head with a 2x4.
    -"Retard / retarded" instead of using 'stupid'. I have a family member who is mentally disabled, and I find this offensive.
    -Improper use of the words "where vs were" , "there vs their vs they're". It really is not that difficult to get them right people.

    There are many more, especially things that my boyfriend will say, but I have reached the point where I ignore them because they annoy me so much.

    I would like to retire the phrase "It is what it is" once and for all and go back to saying "it can't be changed so don't worry about it."
    That's all it means anyway.

    Bully. People use it for everyone they don't like. It's lost its true meaning these days.

    When people say "Can I...." and what they really mean is "May I...."
