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

    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.
