    Another one is "Fad Diet" Not only is it a pretty meaningless statement, it's normally completely wrong.

    For example Low carb diets have been around and prescribed by Doctors since 1869, not to mention it's the way we ate for thousands of years before agriculture, but most people still call them "fad diets".

    Below is a link to the 1869 pamphlet as evidence.

    When people use "literally" when they mean "figuratively", i.e., "I was literally dead after our walk."

    Should I notify your next of kin? Or Ripley's?

    A second peeve: less is about volume; fewer, number. Try this: if you want fewer penguins in your smoothy, remove them prior to blending. If you want less penguins, blend first.... (this the level to which 17 years of teaching high school English has reduced me.)


    Last:
    "These ones." Plural singulars? Unless there's a pile of ones (perhaps in bill form?), this seems super goofy/wrong/inaccurate/WRONG/annoying/WRONG....and, the funniest part of this bothering me is that, when I was a teen in the bronze age, it bothered my father that I said "these ones," and I wasn't aware of the error of my ways.

    Anything that involves the word "hubby"

    "My hubby cooked me dinner today"

    Makes him sound like a fat whale from a cartoon

    Hahahaha, hilarious! I hate the word hubby. It is so awful. It is somehow worse when people say "The Hubby" instead of "My Hubby". UGH

    When people say "That's so gay". Gay does not equal stupid or uncool or unfair or whatever it is you are trying to convey. Expand your vocabulary.

    ^^^This! And I hear it everywhere.

    "Just sayin". I seriously hate when people add that on. It makes them sound like they belong in a snotty high school.

    Epic. As in " that's epic!!". Epics are poems or stories that chronicle a great feat, for example Homer's The Oddesy is an epic. *cringe*

    How long is this marathon you're running?

    Hahaha, I've never heard anyone ask that, maybe I should start running marathons :) You'd think the "26.2" stickers on the back of everyone's car would give it away, eh?

    I can never tell if people are bad at spelling or are espousing a particular metaphor when they consistently use the verb "loose" with reference to weight.

    "I would like to loose 48 more pounds" makes it sound like you are rearing 48 very chubby falcons in there, and you are just waiting for them to learn how to fly. Or perhaps you imagine the excess fat as salmon hatchlings, and you are going to loose them into your local freshwater stream by eating vegetables and getting on the elliptical. Unorthodox fishery management, but okay.

    That is the funniest thing I have heard or read in a long time! Thank you, your words totally made my day!!

    YOLO.
    Anything involving 'swag.'

    Teenagers... -___-

    But haha, I'm so guilty of saying "I know, right?!" It's like my catchphrase. My dad always makes fun of me for saying it...

    "Does that make sense?" ....this only frustrates me when it is used 10 times in the same conversation, and the only thing the peron is talking about is their reaction to something/some unimportant life story

    :explode: anything with the word "retarded" or "that's so gay"...really!?!? From the gay perspective it makes me want to smack the living **** out of you and using the word "retarded" is classless and insulting to those who actually are mentally challenged. They both are downing...

    I agree with that. I have a son with Autism and Verbal Dyspraxia and I had one person say something was retarded (or something with the word retard or retarded, cant remember now lol). I basically told them I had a son with Autism and Verbal Dyspraxia and I do not appreciate that word being used.

    This is just too good! Misspelling really frustrates me as well; and the word "awesome", used over and over again!!

    Irregardless.

    6 and 1/2 dozen of the other. God I want to hit someone in the eye sockets when they say that.

    Murse, moobs, or any other variation of the womenly words turned manly by putting an "M" in front of the word. Here's a clue, it's not funny anymore.

    Haha!! Sorry, one of my biggest peeves is when someone says "All of THE sudden..." I don't know why, but it totally irks me. Also, I'm sorry you had to go thru that. :-(

    A few other things that really flip my lid are flustrated and prolly, and when someone says expresso instead of espresso. There is no X people!!!! My best friend does this and I want to choke her every.single.time.

    Periods between words....

    Just kidding, I do that too!

    My brother in law always says, "What you shoulda did is...." You mean "what I should have done", right?
    :-P I was wondering if anyone would call me out about that! HAHA!! But that is how it sounds in my head when I say it!

    What if you say that's so gay about a purple feather boa designed specifically for a gay man? is it ok then
    Not meaning to pick on you or anything, but now you've got me wondering - if one were to design a purple feather boa specificlly for a gay man, how would it differ from a standard-issue boa designed for wear by either gender? Broader across the shoulders? Zip fly opening to the right? Feathers sourced exclusively from gay male birds?

    Inquiring mind(s) want(s) to know... :smile:
