I roll my eyes every time I hear this one.
My husband cracks me up when he says, "Going to hell in a hen basket." No matter how many times I tell him it's a hand basket.0 -

I had a someone say to me the other day "oh well, ten of one half dozen of the other"
I was watching an old Ellen stand up routine and she used that saying, I can never quite catch it. How does it really go?
Six of one: half a dozen of the other.
Essentially means "it makes no difference".0 -
So I was reading this book and they used the saying (well close anyway) "No Holes Barred", and I am thinking isn't it "No holds barred"? Thought maybe I was wrong for a minute there. What sayings have you or someone else gotten wrong?
Sounds like you are letting them in all of the holes.0 -
Were you reading a pornographic book? That to me is the only logical explanation of misusing that phrase
This was absolutely hilarious.
I was expecting something more like this in the OP lol0 -
When they say, "...did a complete 360."
What they meant is that they did exactly the opposite. Which would be "a 180."
If you draw a circle and stop at 180 degrees, you're at HALF of the complete circle. To say that you "did a 360" implies that you're right back where you started.
Ugh. Illiterates.
Oh. And "Loose." Like nails on a chalkboard.0 -
"For all intensive purposes."
I get annoyed when someone writes, "your wrong." I also get annoyed when someone says "good" and they mean "well."
"How are you today?"
"I'm doing good!"

Pardon me for not being up to date with the terms of the modern world but what exactly does No Holds Barred mean?
Its from sanctioned fighting/wrestling a long time ago. Meaning that there were no illegal holds / maneuvers to be disqualified for.
Even with MMA today there are rules for safely bludgeoning your opponent.0 -
This is a dating requirement of mine

I for many years was guilty of saying "nip it in the butt". My best friend finally told me I was saying it wrong a few years ago.
My son, if someone coughs always asks, "do you need the heineken maneuver".0 -

I'm thinking of having the saying changed;)0 -

The first two. Not so much that last one. I just imagine that they are letting me know that they are putting positive vibes into the universe, random acts of kindness...that they are, in fact, doing good.
I also giggle whenever someone says something like "I'm going to do alot". So dirty and wrong. http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html0 -

Even if they are doing good and tell me about it, that doesn't answer my question.0 -

What bugs me is when people correct me if I say/write something along the lines of, "Do you want to go to the store with me and Sarah?" And the person says "It's Sarah and I." Because, in that case, it would be "me and Sarah." If I said "Me and Sarah are going to the store, do you want to go?" then yes, it should be "Sarah and I."0

Unfortunately Merriam-Webster considers this abomination a real word. *cringe*0 -

Maybe they really are telling you that they are doing good works...and maybe that is their polite way to avoid answering the other question. It is kind of a personal question...unless you're just looking for the generic "I'm fine" answer, in which case, you don't *really* care how they are doing...which is sort of insensitive. You're cold.0
