    "That's what she said".

    Disagree, Michael Scott is a legend and he must live on

    Nonsense. I don't need to hear that from every immature male within a seven mile radius any time I say something remotely implied as sexual. :neutral:

    My coworker pronounces Portal as "port hole". I used to giggle, but now it makes me want to walk away.

    I do it as a joke making fun of that joke, if I remember about it at all. I got some "yo mama" jokes if you want to go down memory lane.

    I will pass, thanks. My sense of humor doesn't include "that's what she said" or "yo mama" jokes.

    So if I said, "That's what yo mama said" that wouldn't slightly amuse you?

    No.

    My sense of humor is either very dry or very dark. Or both. ;)

    "Chester drawers" (????) You mean, "chest of drawers"?

    "I could care less." No, no, no!

    ANYTHING with the word "Bae" in it.

    OMG, how did I forget about "I could care less"?!

    For those that don't understand why this is cringe-worthy (I'm SURE there must be some of you out there who are wondering "what's wrong with that?")

    When people say this they almost always mean the exact opposite! This phrase is used to imply "I don't care at all"
    When I talk to other grammar nerds I like to say "I could care more... a LOT more"

    @juliemouse83 - I love that post and I could care less about reading more of your cringe worthy sayings.

    Thank you! The rest have pretty much all been covered, like "adult" as a verb, "for all intensive purposes" (*gah* that one really gets me) and "irregardless" have been mentioned a lot. Glad I'm not the only one.

    Two more: "See, what had happened was..." and "My insurance co-lapsed."

    This thread makes my inner grammar queen so very, very happy! :smiley:

    OMG! This is so wrong, but at the same time? Funny as hell!

    More disturbing is that fact that it's been ten years and doesn't even come close to feeling like it.

    I like to ask them, “so exactly how much less could you care?”

    when anyone says "I love Big Bang Theory"

    my GF said she liked that show. We almost broke up. We're working through it, but it's not easy.

    DTMF

    Dual Tone – Multi Frequency?

    Must be a Big Bang Theory joke I don't remember. I know @MeeseeksAndDestroy would because of her weekly Big Bang Theory puppet show on YouTube where she acts out the previous episode with puppets.

    "YOLO" and "swag".

    I agree that "YOLO" is cringe worthy, but the theory behind it isn't. Something I'm trying to grasp right now...

    No, the notion behind it and/or saying "you only live once" is fine.. I just see no reason to abbreviate it when you're talking to someone or use it as an excuse to be an *kitten* to everyone you meet.

    Though every time I hear someone say it (either way), I think of the James Bond film "You Only Live Twice" and the subsequent song. :D
