    Journey. Anybody who says the word Journey and doesn't bust into song deserves to be kicked in the head.


    Well, OK - you asked for it...

    My #1 offender: Delish (I loathe that word...say anything but that)
    Other offenders....clogged, slacks, booyah, flusterating (I hear professionals use this all the time), main drain and shakeology

    My daughter however cringes when I mention the word 'vanity' as in 'my make-up is in on the bathroom vanity'. She gets all upset which prompts me to say it even more. I love messing with her!

    A pound of fat weighs more than a pound of muscle.

    No dumba**, they both weigh a freaking pound. Muscle is more DENSE and therefore takes up less SPACE.

    I'd bet you've never seen "A pound of fat weighs more than a pound of muscle" on MFP before, though.

    •"I ship that"
    /(>.<)\

    I was watching a show the other night where a woman was constantly saying "i ship blah" or "this is my ship"...and she was a grown woman. Stupid.

    What does that even mean? I've never heard that expression, unless it's related to Fed-Ex or something...

    The word "skinny" makes me cringe.

    I realize it is a goal of many women to be called that but it goes against my visualization of a good body. I want to be lean with plenty of curvy muscle. In my mind skinny is shapeless & stick-like.

    "It's genetics"

    "Moist"

    "TROLLED"

    "Pad"

    "Poop"

    "Poopoo"

    "Peepee"

    "Taint"

    "Gooch"

    D:

    EDIT: Forgot one. I live in Alabama and I hear a LOT of people say "I like a few" or "How much do you like" meaning "I'm missing a few" or "How much do you have left" or whatever. The first time I heard this I was like "What? What am I lacking?".. The girl looked at me like I was stupid but DANGIT LEARN CORRECT ENGLISH, I DID.

    The saying "A pound of fat equals a pound of muscle, you dumba**"

    I hate when people say muscle weighs more than fat. NO IT DOESN'T. it is simply more dense and weighs more per the same unit of volume

    When someone makes a huge change in their life and says that they have made a 360 degree turn around when they really mean a 180 degree turn around. 360 degrees would mean they hadn't done anything.

    It could make you dizzy, if you turned fast enough...

    I never say muscle weighs more than fat but when people say that I know what they mean. They mean that muscle, per unit of volume, weighs more than fat so I just let it go. It doesn't bother me. What DOES bother me is people who go on for three freakin' pages CORRECTING them!

    This isn't weight related ... but...

    Irregardless ... it's not a word ... and you've completly changed the meaning of what you were trying to say ... yeesh!!! :mad:

    I am guilty of this one from time to time, but use it more as a refutation of a point someone else made by saying regardless!

    It's funny -- because with a little math and physics I can prove that 1 pound of muscle does NOT equal 1 pound of fat.

    Ah math and science...making heads explode since 1969!

    I don't know why, I just cringe everytime this word is used in a sentence.
