    "Very Unique" if something is unique it's unique, you can't be and more unique!

    I'm sure some might be offended at this one, but how about "national tragedy" when it's applied to an event that affects a relatively few people. Yes, the recent shooting was a tragedy. No, it's not a "national" tragedy, any more than a fire in my home state that claimed the life of 15 people.

    This will probably offend a decent amount of people but I hate hearing any variation of "you have been blessed" or "God has blessed you with _______". Mostly because God has nothing to do with what I have in life. Everything I have, I have worked for and was not given to me by god. I got my looks from my genes and my happy life because I made it that way.

    I do apologize if this offends anyone. I understand faith and religion and what it means to people, I just don't live that way and don't like when people say it to me.

    Buzz words and sayings, such as "epic", "think outside the box", "viral" and one of my new hated sayings, "FML" (if you guys don't know it is f*** my life) UGH!!!!! Oh and anytime "twitter" and "facebook" are used as verbs it really irks the crap outta me.

    I totally agree!!!! My son uses epic all the time....and uber (all this word mean is over in German) so uber exciting = over excting...are things really over exciting?

    and FML....do I really want the peoel my son is friends with to be this pesimistic. Too many FML's and I begin worring about people mental state.

    In total agreement!!!

    And when people "Thank God!" for a successful surgery/recovery, or their sports team winning a game. No, thank the doctors or the team who had years of training to accomplish their goals!

    Another!!! when people say the word "what" oddly. Such as adding in letters "whieat" It would be easier if I could actually SPEAK what I mean

    I also hate the word irregardless, this is NOT a word! I also hate "most definately" You are either definate or not, to me it's like "more perfect", can't be done and you sound ignorant.

    It frustrates me each time I hear "It is what it is". I prefer to think it is what we allow it to be. So much of what we simply accept as unchangeable, IS changeable simply by what we do.

    "To be perfectly honest with you"

    That just means you haven't been honest yet, right??

    Admittedly tho, I use the phrase Honestly when typing online, but that's because I don't believe the online world is one that people are always honest and I want to put an emphasis on the point of an honest statement.

    I work in a gas station right now and I get a lot of the teenage crowd in... some of the things they say to each other crack me up. Hearing, 'OMG!' all the time drives me nuts or "I totally want _____" but then it just reminds me that I used to talk that way when I was their age so maybe our tolerance of what bugs us changes with age? LOL
    I gotta admit that I too have commited some of the previously posted irk phrases but it all depends on who I'm talking to. My personal annoyances involve variances of

    1) What had happened was... Almost seems like they're setting up a lie when I hear this
    2) I'm not gonna lie, but.... Using this before a statement just confirms my fear of the first
    3) Word... Said as a confirmation or agreement to what I ask or say, how is it a response to what I said?

    "To bad she's so big...she has such a pretty face". So rude. :angry:

    "Muscle weighs more that fat". Isn't a pound a pound?? :huh:

    "I'm going to start my diet on Monday". Are you prejudice against the other day's of the week? :tongue:

    Muscle Does weigh more than fat if your talking about quantity. If the muscle and the fat were the same size the muscle would be heavier lol.

    umm well I did have an idea for a phrase but now I cant remember.

    It takes months to build actual muscle ;)

    Which leads me to my favorite phrase to hate
    "your fat turned into muscle". Ummmm....that isn't possible lol I hear people say that a lot, ugh!

    "Muscle weighs more than fat" drives me nuts. It doesn't make sense. Feathers weigh more than bricks if you have enough of them! Muscles are more dense than fat, yes. 5 pounds of muscle is smaller than 5 pounds of fat, yes. Muscle weighs less than fat, well it depends on the quantity. *venting over*

    I HATE when people say "Honey" to EVERYONE. OR "sweetie" ESPECIALLY when they don't even know them! I only like to be called "honey" by a select few. My husband, people I REALLY know and like, and old women. :smile:
