When someone calls their kids "littles." I don't know why that bothers me but it does. And using "seen" instead of "saw." You didn't seen anything. But you sound like you've never seen an English class.

YOLO. Any and all YOLOers within earshot will be mauled by rabid wolverines. So, I guess you can they were right...

"Fair enough..." I find it dismissive and condescending. The person using it is usually means, "I'm right and you're wrong, but it's not worth discussing it further with you."

"whatever" this means the person doesnt care what your opinion is. i cannot stand this!!!
" are u ok?" this is the worst. when someone is clearly upset or mad it is not right to go up to them and ask them if they are ok!!! clearly they are not ok!!!

This one really "grinds my gears" (there is one for you); using the phrase "back slash" to describe a "forward slash".

I am noticing it on commercials that reference various web sites too! The madness has to stop!

/ = Forward Slash

\ = Backslash

Additionally, misusing the word "seen" bothers me.

That is all for now.......

NO!

There is no "forward slash". There is only slash or backslash.

HA!

According to various sources, forward slash is a retronym!

Goddamn kids and their retronyms!! I'm gonna go put on some dungarees, hop in my horseless carriage and go take in a talkie, dammit!

Wait .. retronym .. does that mean only hipsters can call it a forward slash?

Quite possibly. We should survey ten hipsters each and share the results.

"Me thinks"- really pisses me off. Your dump opinion is still dumb even if you try to say it like you're Shakespeare.

"Dominate" when they really meant "dominant". As in: "The Reds are really going to be dominate this year"

For what it's worth, I really don't mind "it is what it is". For me, it's always worked to express a combination of both finality and limited significance. (It is not going to change. There is nothing more to it that what you see. And don’t make a mountain out of a molehill. A molehill is a molehill.) Although I do suppose that the key is using it in an appropriate situation where one may be tempted to make a mountain out of that molehill or to try and find that there's something more to it.

Scenario: I come into my office in the morning.

Me: "Morning Sergeant Smith. How’s your day going?"

Smith: "Terrible. I failed my fitness test this morning. Now I’m going to get paperwork, the commander’s going to want to talk to me, and I’ve got to go to additional exercise sessions outside of work. I just can’t focus. I mean, I bust my hump to do all this work they hand us, and I do it really well. Every job they give me, I knock it out. But now, because I didn’t do enough push-ups, I’m a failure and a second-rate worker? What the heck?!?"

Me: "Well, it is what it is. Take a moment, calm down, get your mind right, and we’ll work with you to get you ready to test again." (Implications: 1: We can’t go back in time and undo that test. That failure is on your record. 2: It is ONLY a failed fitness test. It is NOT an indictment against your worth as a human being.)

I cannot STAND this phrase, for exactly this reason. My husband (soon-to-be-ex, I will add) used this phrase to explain his 6-month affair with an "escort." It makes me cringe every time I hear someone using it; even though, yes, I can understand the practicality of it. It's simply too popular currently.

"I could care less"

Yeah. Especially as it's supposed to be "couldn't care less"

A bit like the people who say "pacifically" instead of "specifically"

A bit like the other people who say "exspecially" instead of "especially".

Or the people who say "preformance" instead of PERFORMANCE!??

Or the ones that say "Ambleance" instead of "Ambulance"?!

Or let me "Ax you a question".

I am guilty of exspecially, Ax, and preformance. i have a brooklyn accent LOL

YOLO......SMH

I HATE YOLO. YOLO MUST DIE #swag

'hashtag'

If you're using it on Twitter, fine, that's where the concept was born.

Using it on facebook? tolerable, but still annoying.

If a person sitting near me, during a conversation SAYS the word "Hashtag" and isn't referring to the # on the keyboard, but is trying to be 'witty' and tag my conversation with them, they are getting punched in the throat.
