    I say that meaning I have to accept things for what they are.

    Agreed. Sometimes, we all need to be reminded of that.

    "Oh no she didn't"..... I'm sorry that still makes me laugh when someone says it. :happy:

    The phrase that I hate the most is "That's Sick!"...ridiculous!
    I'm also not into "You fancy, huh?" or the word "Preggo" for pregnant. "Hubby", "Hubs" "Hunny" and "Wifey" bug the hell out of me too! Pretty much anything that makes the speaker sound unintelligent bugs me. That includes text short hand like "Ur hunny.." and "CU 2moro".

    I understand what it means. It's actually a conversation killer. It says "I have nothing else to say about this subject so let's not talk about it anymore." Don't worry, no one's taking away your right to continue to use the phrase. Some of us just happen to hate it. The thread isn't called "Why do you say urban phrases that other people hate?"

    Didn't think you were. You also weren't the first person to post it. You sounded kind of angsty there, not sure if it was intentional.

    Sometimes, people say it when people go on and on and on about something there really is a simple solution to. Maybe it's not so much that they have nothing to say as it is, they would like the person to stop freaking out about whatever it is they're complaining about.

    I have been laughing at this post, but I realize that I use a lot of these words and/or phases. I said, "Cool beans" to my 12 year old nephew and he told me that " I must be old, because only old people use cool beans" I am only 29.

    13 pages and no one's brought up the overuse of "literally"? "I was LITERALLY about to pass out" No, you weren't. Hate that.

    And the expression "peace out". Bugs me, and I'm not even sure why.


    But I'll cop to my overuse of "dude". Sorry dudes.

    Did i miss "oh hell to the no"?
    My mom has decided to start using that one! Im thinking to my self "oh hell to the no you did not just say that 1980 phrase"

    Now things are "da bomb" with that woman too!

    Have your kids been saying "ish"? For example to my DD "hey sisser are you hungry?" DD "ish".
    Hungry-ish or Full-ish? What is ish?

    I love this thread! Its da bomb!

    "swag"

    I hear that all the time at my school and probably 80% of them have no idea wtf it means >:|

    I completely agree with this one. I had a co-worker tell me to turn my swag on and of course I'm started thinking........ we are not 18 so the word swag should not come out of your mouth.

    I admit i'm guilty of "like", i'm getting better at it but it's how everyone spoke for so long, it's hard to break!
    I'm also guilty of "ish" though it's always attached to a word or a number, never on its own.

    Everything is "wicked" now...

    wicked is a northeast phrase and I'm guilty of it

    If I hear 'I promise' one more time for stupid *kitten* I'm not going to be a happy person. Save promises for something you can really control

    Who's your daddy?

    I actually had a guy say this to me in the middle of "making out" (gotta keep it G-rated) and I burst out laughing. Rolled off the couch, on to the floor and laughed. Kind of killed the mood, but he ruined mine by making me think of my father.

    Haha. Yeah, I do believe I would laugh right off the couch too. My sister was with a guy who made random animal noises. He said that he did this to see if the girl had a sense of humor.
