    I really hate it when people say "literally" and follow with something that is not literal.

    I also hate, "That's so random."

    Or "I did a 360" when they mean a 180.

    I'm mildly irritated by people who misuse "beg the question" or "split the baby," but I've mostly given up.

    I'm strongly irritated by using "like" in place of "um" or "says." That was a Valley Girl thing 30 years ago, and the pre-teens are STILL FRICKIN SAYING IT!!! DO YOU SERIOUSLY MEAN "LIKE" IS GOING TO, LIKE, OUTLIVE ME?

    I hate when people say "funnier" that's not a word... it's "more fun"! :noway:

    But, "funnier" is a word, i.e. "his joke was funnier than mine." Now, if you meant "funner," then, I agree because that's not a word.:flowerforyou:

    Correct!! Funnier is the comparitive form of the adjective funny!!! Sorry OP!!

    Oh my goodness, completely forgot about this one! My kids were taught at a young age if you do a 360, you'll just be right back where you started! That one litterally drives me crazy! But I could care less. (sorry, couldn't help myself, but I really do hate the 360 thing)

    Irregardless, it is what it is, because you can have your cake and eat it to. Surely you can't be serious? I am serious but I could care less.

    “.................... is so ADDICTING!”

    Whether it be ice-cream, chocolate, this video game, whatever. It’s ****ing annoying. Use “addictive” people!


    I also find it irritating when people rather emphatically exclaim “That’s what I’m talking about!” after someone else’s comment.

    Ummmm, no buddy, you weren’t talking at all. If anything that’s what you’re “listening about”.

    My wife always says " Not tonight, I have a headache"..

    Every freaking night? I just don't get it or get "It".

    You gotta take George Burn's advice. He waited till supper was over, the dishes were done- till the little wifey was ready to sit down and relax- walk over and had her a glass of water and 2 pain relievers (whatever she normally takes)....
    and when she asks, "What's *this* for?"
    You reply, "For your headache."
    When she looks @ you dumbfounded and replies, " But I don't have a headache....."
    Welllllllll, there ya go.......
    BUT it'll only work ONCE.
    The next night she'll be on to you.

    A friend at work is constantly interjecting the words, "You know what I'm saying?" throughout every conversation we have. I have even tried saying back each time, "Yes. I know what you're saying." But she never blinks. Just keeps on talking and talking and saying that phrase! I start smiling as soon as she starts talking because everybody else in the office gets what I'm doing. :happy: :happy:

    Oh, we must have the same co-worker! I work with a lady that says that and "you know" or "I mean" in EVERY sentence she says. It is so annoying... but another co-worker and I make a game of seeing how many times she says it in any given conversation.

    I find myself counting, too. Sometimes lose the train of her thought. Not a real big loss, usually!

    "I could care less". Well yes, You could care less in fact. It should be "I couldn't care less."
    It burns my *kitten* to see it!


    ^^^THIS! It was literally the first thing that popped into my head :)
    Why do people say it ARGHHHH!

    (and it seems to be those in the US that get it wrong most. Im not hating just making an observation)

    "Go big or go home!" I'm not trying to offend anyone by saying this, but the origin of this phrase comes from the bar scene where at 2am (closing time), all of the hot girls are already taken. So the phrase is meant to mean either you sleep with an overweight girl or go home.

    Oh, and it's spelled "Grammar."

    I hate when strangers walk past me and say "cheer up, it may never happen" .. what may never happen?!..
    You don't know my life so why even make any comment. I usually just respond with "it already has"

    This is guaranteed to make me angry :explode:

    'You can't have your cake and eat it...'


    WHY NOT?! If you are going to give me cake and tell me I can't eat it then why give it to me in the first place.


    ....I now REALLY want some cake!

    I looked this up one time and the original quote is apparently "you can't eat your cake and have it too" because once you've eaten it it's gone. Or more accurately moved to your butt or thighs...

    I cringe inside when people say irregardless...

    I want to stop them in their tracks and say "NO! That's NOT a WORD!!"

    But I don't because I haven't yet been appointed to the role of grammarnazi... I have applied, however. :drinker:

    EXACTLY!!! Id like to see someone put a piece of cake in front of me and try and stop me from eating it.. don't they realize im fat for a reason.. that reason is cake.. and i'll be damned if they try and stop my from eating some cheesecake!!

    It's because the cake is a lie.

    Also that ^ is a saying I don't get :I
