    "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.

    hahahaha I completely agree with all of them! And you seriously just described YOLO better than I could've ever! Great job! :)

    Another one I hate - "That moment when..."

    So freaking overused and not cool.

    Also, I'm pretty tired of everything being EPIC.

    Completely agree!

    when people say "I could care less"
    should be "I COULDN'T care less"
    drives me crazy

    ^^^ Absolutely this. Drives me nuts. I am also becoming increasingly irritated by "I know, right?"

    "Preggers" (or any variation thereof)
    "I know, right!"
    "Jelly" (in lieu of jealous)

    These. Plus:

    Samwich or sammy instead of sandwich.
    It is what it is.
    Moist (that seems to be a common one!)
    Sherbert. It's sher-BET, not BERT.
    Yummers.
    When someone says "physical", when they really mean "fiscal". I'm an accountant, so this one bugs the *kitten* out of me.
    When I say something, and someone's response is "really?!". No, not really, dumbazz....I'm just pulling your leg.

    WTF? Makes my skin crawl.

    What else am I supposed to say when sauce is really delicious??

    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.

    "You should feel happy..." (actually, about 95% of sentences with 'should' in it)

    Just: as in, "Just lose weight [it's simple for me!]", "Just stop doing that!"

    "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"

    \

    Agree! 1 - hello pushing anorexia statement (and crap.......my partner is struggling to stay in recover from anorexia & bulemia at the moment, and I've had friends - yes, more than one - who have gone into cardiac arrest before age 30. So I don't think it's a cute or fun line to play with or joke about) and 2 - you're not eating the right damn things if you HONESTLY think that! At one point I had actually taken a client to a psychiatry appointment, and the doctor's office staff had that up.....when we stood to check out at the reception area, I could see the sign that said that, plain as day across their area on the wall behind them...... I was SO. MAD. Especially because it was at a psychiatrist's office where he may be treating patient's who have problems with eating disorders, and in clear patient view.



    Amen sister! I struggled with Anorexia and have so many friends that still do. Not cool. Not cool at all.

    Hey, glad it sounds like it was a past thing for ya and you're in recovery. Good for you! :) It really puts crap into perspective when you see so much of what a person with an ED goes through, and makes you never want to get anywhere near that slippery slope. I can't imagine actually having had that in my head day in and day out.

    My husband is KING of taking complex words, mixing them together and coming off sounding like an idiot. Sometimes its actually laughable. I'll ask him what he's trying to say and he says, you knew what I meant. No, clearly if I did I wouldn't be asking. Good thing he's so stinking cute or it would really be irritating.

    I dislike hearing the following:

    Just saying
    Anyways
    You know what I mean - specifically if said multiple times during a conversation.
    Irregardless

    When I'm talking about my feelings and someone says "I know". I guess you're trying to be understanding, but you don't know... that's why I'm telling you.

    Verbiage.

    I've never heard the word YOLO out loud, and I honestly have no idea what it means, but I already hate it.

    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!!

    "I'm a grown *kitten* man"

    But I guess it's possible you could have grown into a boob man

    "Oh Snap!"
    "Hubby"
    "Ya know what I'm talkin about?"
    I just "seen" him today.

    All of these would drive me crazy if I were to let them.
