It's not rocket science.
Just saying... (and then proceeding to be exceedingly rude -__-)
Relatively speaking.... (seriously do you think you sound intelligent by saying this???) "In theory, that makes relatively logical sense that I would be continuously perceived as severely unintelligent, relatively speaking."0 -
"just..."
as in...
you JUST have to stop eating so much
you JUST have to exercise
JUST do it...
Yeah sure i'll JUST change my lifestyle that i've been living for 28 years...

"My heart goes out to you."
No, it doesn't, not in any way.
"Prayers go out to you."
Aren't your prayers supposed to be addressed to someone/something else? Also, if you do pray, it's unlikely you will mention the person for whom you said you'd pray.
"Women" being used to describe only one woman. "I saw a women at the park yesterday."
"Woman" = singular, "women" = plural
"Conversate"
I will only converse with you if you don't say that we are "conversating".
"just a theory"
I am sure you're trying to be clever, but you don't know the definition of "theory" if you think that this phrase actually means something powerful to anyone who actually does know the definition.
Using "loose" instead of "lose"
You know that you meant to say "lose", and that you weren't being "poetic" in using "loose" in the "letting go, releasing" context. Just use "lose".
"The Bible says..."
Yes, I am sure it does, but have you even read it? If you have then you should also know that it says a lot of awful things involving women, children, genocide, rape, homicide, animal sacrifice, violence, etc. Please don't reference this book as though it is a beacon of love, happiness, or respect.
"Lates"
I am sure you meant to say, "see you later," or something similar to that.
Use of the majestic plural, e.g., one speaking only for oneself and saying something similar to "we'll see you later."
You are only one person, and you're not speaking for a group. You should not be making yourself plural.
There are many others, but many of them have already been covered in this topic.
I have read the Bible - whole thing. I also understand it's divided into Old and New Testament, and why. I also understand that what was written in the Old Testament is reflective of what happened then, but that the New Testament replaces the Law of Moses in the Old. I also know the New is about love, happiness and respect, but most choose to ignore it.0 -
I cannot wait until referring to someone as a "*kitten*" runs it's course.
I hate that with a passion.
Also, "Epic." Even more so when used as "Epic Fail." The only epic fail was the use of that term.
I had not noticed how common "*kitten*" and "epic" had become (maybe I'm too old??) until I met my personal trainer. He's great, but he's 22 and these words come out of his mouth at least twice during every session. Also, not that the word should be banned, but when I'm able to lift a heavier weight than he expected (or do an extra set), he calls me a "tank". He says it in a way that is meant to be motivating / a compliment, but as a woman, I'd prefer being compared to something else than a metal box with guns that weighs more than a ton.0 -
I guess I'm only safe if I don't try to help or motivate folks.0

Could care less
FFS its COULDN'T CARE LESS...COULD NOT CARE LESS....if you could care less it means you DO care...arghhhhhhhhhhhhh
LOL Yes.
And Vica Versa. The number of people, who should know better, I hear say that......0 -
"I've got goosies!" Hearing Jennifer say that on American idol, so annoying! It's goosebumps, saying "goosies" makes ya sound like a 3 year old!0
-
Great burn! to me a burn is never great, also, whoot whoot, that makes me want to puke puke.0
-
moist
So what word would you prefer when the cake is nice and, um...not dry?
nice and not dry :bigsmile:0 -
In the office I hate these "buzz words"/phrases that get used all the time:
-mutually beneficial (this phrase is in almost every single work email I get)
-we don't need to reinvent the wheel
-it's the low hanging fruit
-initiatives
-objectives
-collaborative
-it would be valuable to...
I guess I'm not a "team player" haha.0 -
Due to the fact.0

I don't want to hijack this thread and turn it into a religious debate, but I feel I have to respond to the idea that the New Testament is about love, happiness, and respect. It is a lot more "calm" than the Old Testament, but it's still pretty bad. We can find a great anti-family verse in Matthew 19 where Jesus says that "every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life." That's a love-filled, happy, respectful idea.
In Mark 5 Jesus decides to send "unclean spirits" into 2,000 pigs and forces them to drown in the sea. That's pretty love-filled, happy, and respectful. Luke 12 tells us to fear God because he has the power to commit us to eternal misery. But God loves you. John 3 makes it clear that it really doesn't matter what kind of life you live, but that your afterlife is determined only by your belief. Non-believers will be tortured, and believers will be be eternally happy. That's definitely loving, happy, and respectful.
In Acts 5 God kills Sapphira and her husband for withholding money from him. Loving? This is another good indication of God's "mob boss" mentality. God is basically a very bad man holding a gun to your head saying "believe in me and give me everything or I will pull the trigger." happy?
There are numerous other examples of very unloving, unhappy, disrespectful verses in the New Testament, but I'll leave it at this for now. If you'd like to know the rest please message me so that we don't hijack this topic. :flowerforyou:0 -
"Don't worry, it will get better."
What it sounds like: "Just sit there and wait and do absolutely nothing and have some more ice cream and don't change anything at all and all the bad things will magically disappear."0 -
I especially hate it when any body prefaces a statement by saying " I don't mean to sound rude but" or "I don't mean to be mean but"
Then don't say it. You are being a douche, by saying you are not trying to be a douche does in no way remove you from the fact that you are in fact a wet douche.
^^THIS^^
and "should you be eating that?" or "you should be eating...(insert anything I'm not eating) here."0 -

LOL In other words, 'I get to have the last say and if the thread gets closed down it's not my fault'.
Aha there's another one 'famous last word'.0 -

God is God, he created heaven and earth, breathed life into a pile of clay, we, as humans cannot possibly understand his thoughts and ways, we understand biblical times as looking thru dark glass or muddy water, but we should understand enough to be saved, a good place to start is Act's 2:38.0 -
Also HATE 'Literally'
'impactful' & 'impacted' & 'impact'~constantly used incorrectly by the press.
Hate word salad~when nonsense filler words are inserted~ 'You Know' & 'So to say'
'what's on your plate?'
' Let's make sure we're on the same page.'0 -
"No problem" - especially if you are at a store or restaurant and thank the salesperson/waiter after you purchase/have eaten your food. You say thank you and they say no problem. Makes me cringe- even though cringe isn't one of my favorite words either. ha
It just makes the person seem uneducated or untrained. You should thank the customer, not "no problem" them.0 -
'Could Care Less' instead of 'couldn't care less' - cant people hear that it doesnt make sense when they say it???!!!0
