    when people call breakfast "breaky" I want to do bad things....

    Like "breaky" their faces?

    like "when I eat breaky I have some hammy with eggs..." OH MY GOD I JUST PISSED MYSELF OFF LOL

    and yes breaky their faces..amen

    You don't want to NOM all the breaky?

    I can't stand NOM.

    i'm scared to ask but what's NOM?

    As I've always understood it, it's sort of a sound-effect type thing for eating. If you "nom on" something, you are eating it. My sis and I use it more like a description: "Noms!" means something tastes good...

    Also, when people mess up common phrases (especially if the people are native English speakers), such as "taken for granite" instead of "taken for granted". Or awe when they mean aw, or ewe when they mean ew. These are entirely different words, people. :grumble:

    A couple I've read or heard lately are "sop and wet" instead of sopping wet and "whoa as me" instead of woe is me. :laugh:

    How about this way.

    Good luck on your weight loss Steve Perry!

    Same thing, right?!

    "Hubby". Hate hate hate it!!! It makes women sound SO STUPID. You can hold a double major from an Ivy league college, but if you use that term, your IQ automatically drops 20 points.

    LOOSE, when it's supposed to be "LOSE!"

    I dunno, I like the idea of loosing weight. Let it be someone else's problem; I'm done with it! ;)

    I hate "Paleo" and "cavegirl", "Whole 30" etc. Just like in the past I was annoyed by "Atkins", "South Beach"....

    I just find that all of the people I know in my every day life who do those super FAD diets are the ones who get really overzealous & burn themselves out quickly and go back to eating fast food three times a day.

    Irregardless. THIS IS NOT A WORD! Also the phrase "could care less" when they mean "couldn't care less". If you can care less, you still care!!

    "Organic"

    Before the organic folks start beating me over the head with an eggplant or something, may I say that my obesity is killing me off faster than any minute toxins found in "non-organic" vegetables ever would. I think that with all the hype that people are giving "organic vs non-organic", the country might be a whole lot healthier looking at "exercise vs sedentary" or "water vs a big gulp coca cola". Judging by my profile pic, it may look like "fatty preaching what she doesn't practice", but I've lost 18 lbs by switching to water, cutting out fast food, choosing leaner meats, exercising more and eating more "non-organic" veggies and fruit instead of junk food. (I lost 5 lbs before starting MFP by switching to water alone!!)

    Rant over. I double checked it for punctuation and spelling :wink:

    A couple other ones:
    ~When they make the price on anything "something" dollars and 99 cents instead of rounding it up to the nearest dollar. $4.99 = $5.00
    ~When people refer to a die as "a dice"
    ~Gangster talk, anything related to gangster talk
    ~ USING.....ELLIPSES .....EXCESSIVELY ...... OR .... PUTTING....A ..... WHOLE....POST IN ......CAPS :sad:

    Edit: Adding a more effective adjective because I'm weird like that :smile:

    I'm always getting emails from someone who works for a branch of where I work, and he'll type one word followed by "..................................................."
    I've asked him why, and he just says "I dunno..................................................................." *sigh*
