One phrase that people say that make you CRAZY!

"No offense, but"....

Basically means i'm about to say something that's going to piss you off but you can't get mad since I said that.

this one was probably said already but "muscle weighs more than fat" NO it doesnt. a pound is a pound.

Muscle does weigh more than fat by volume, and that's exactly what people mean when they say that.

i say, say what you mean, and mean what you say. muscle does not weigh more. period.

It seems you are the one not saying what you mean. If you mean a pound doesn't weigh more than a pound, then say that. If someone else talks about fat and muscle why assume they have a pound of each or that they even use pounds as a unit of measurement? You do know what happens when you assume, right?

i meant a pound is a pound. and thats what i said. and it doesnt matter really what they use as a unit of measurement. any "unit" of muscle weighs the same, as that same "unit" of fat. they just take up different amounts of space. the phrase is flawed in that it does not clarify. and it drives me crazy.

I can guarentee a cup of fat and a cup of muscle do not weigh the same. That's like saying a cup of water and a cup of styrofoam weigh the same. In terms of the phrase, when you say "muscle weighs more than fat" the person is refering to volume and people get butt hurt but essentially it's true. Of course everyone knows that a pound of A is going to equal a pound of B.

"It's God's plan. Remember that God is in control..." Etc, etc, etc.

Yes, I fully believe that God is in control. I know that it's His plan. But sometimes I DON'T need a sermon. Sometimes I just need a friend who will let me just be upset. Just for a moment would you let me be human and cry and not throw religion in my face??

Amen! :laugh:

"Real women have curves".....no real women have lady parts and come in all shapes and sizes.

This isn't really a "phrase" but I hate it when people tell me to "Smile". Unless you are taking a picture of me, do not tell me to smile. I am not some monkey in a cage that does tricks like smile on command. Maybe I'm having a really bad day and don't feel like smiling!

I also hate it when people say "Winning!" as a way of saying how awesome they are. Like "Just arrived at the beach. WINNING!"

UGH... my mom used to tell me to smile all the time... I don't want to smile all the time! I'm introverted! I just started telling people I'm not mad... I just have a natural frown.

"at the end of the day"... had to listen to my coworker use that one about 100 times a day until he moved on to "right on"... also annoying.

People that say "sick" or "ill" for something really awesome. Maybe I'm getting old but being either of those things is not awesome... except for Beastie Boys.. they can do no wrong... and they be illin'.

i agree that a cup is a unit of measurement, but in terms of weight, it is not. it is NOT essentially true. the phrase, in and of itself, it NOT true. and i agree, that alot of people understand what this means, however, when posting on forums to newbs about muscle weighing more then fat, and thats why their scale numbers are up, not down, it is simply not resposible usage.

I hate it when people say "Even-no" instead of "Even though".

I also hate when people add an "s" the the end of a word for no reason. example- "I am going to Walmarts"... so does that mean you are going to multiple walmart stores? Or I hear a lot of the kids around here say "thats mines". Drives me crazy.

Just sayin, or don't mean to be ____ but....

I cringe when I hear "My/your/his/her BAD",
"Y'all",
and when people are referred to as "folks", in order of which makes me cringe the most to the least.

As well, any kind of bad grammer...the worst offender being, "I seen..." when it should be "I saw..." Ugh!

And I also hate the "You should have..." My mother uses that all the time and it drives me CRAZY!!

Y'all, did you know that grammar is spelled with an 'a'?
