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

    when people say "meow" instead of "now"

    I haven't heard this, but it would be annoying!
  • When people say "just saying" after they already said something.

    You don't need to do that. It's unnecessary.

    The fact that you said it means that you "just said" it.

    Knock it off.

    I concur.

    "Nucular" instead of "nuclear"
    -"Axing" someone a question
    -"Supposably" instead of supposedly
    -Can you "borrow" me some money? It's LEND, you *kitten*!
    -Swag....it may be appealing now but it sure as hell doesn't pay the bills.
    -"No offense"...usually said right before or right after they say something patently offensive.
    -"I'm just saying"....something people say when they don't want to shut their mouth but can't add anything intelligent to the conversation.


    And hearing "YOLO" makes me want to throat-punch someone. YOLO is carpe diem for stupid people, IMO.

    Chalk

    Can't stand saying it, looking at it, or seeing kids play with it. Gives me instant goosebumps.

    When someone over the age of 25 responds to something I said with "I know riiiiiggghht?!?!" This response should be left to teenagers where it originated. It's akin to teens in the 80's responding with "totally..." Leave the 'teen' talk where it should be!

    This is definitely mine, too.

    When the annoying, prissy girls at work say "Awkward" "I was at the bar checking my phone and this guy tried to talk to me. OMG, it was so awkward...!"

    Really, someone trying to talk to you at a bar was awkward? This is the bullsh*t I have to deal with sometimes...


    :laugh: This! Everything is so "awkward" now. Bullsh*t, indeed. It's bullsh*t, not awkward.

    I think also saying "be strong" to me has an implication that not only should the person not have any weakness through a crappy situation, but also it seems like it's a way for the person saying it to stay at an emotional distance.

    If I was going through something traumatic and someone told me to "be strong" I'd say "ok" and punch them in the eyes

    hahahahahaha

    "hubby". If you absolutely HAVE to contract a simple, TWO SYLLABLE word, wouldn't it be "hussy"? Either way, you sound like an absolute dumb*ss.

    Stop saying it. It makes me want to punch you in the face.

    It could be the result of autocorrect, but "come on" written as "common" makes me see red and go a little cross-eyed.

    I usually make a point of not correcting anyone's grammar or spelling, though, because it really sucks to be a dyslexic grammar nazi and I just know I'll write something wrong.
  • "As well"
    "That's a good question"
    "It is what it is"
    "Let me ask you something"

    "irregardless" - it's a made up word - it's regardless, regardless of what you think
    "yolo"
    "dawg"
    "homie"
    "g-****" you fill in the blank. Don't be G in front of anything
    "essentially" - my co-worker uses this CONSTANTLY when he is on the phone or telling someone how to do something "essentially you....." OMG find a new word!

    Everything that involves the word suicide in insanity.
  • I'm guilty of most of these. Like I say "coolbeans", "my bad", "bro", and "dude". It's a habit. But I can say I will never use the term YOLO - drives me crazy.

    ...Speaking of crazy, the term 'cray' is annoying too. My best friend says cray-cray all the time - I just want to punch her lol.

    "Teachable moment" - that phrase makes me want to drive my head through a wall of cinder block.
