Sayings That You Just Don't Get..

"I could care less". Well yes, You could care less in fact. It should be "I couldn't care less."
It burns my *kitten* to see it!

I love how Canadians say "*kitten*"

I hate when people say "funnier" that's not a word... it's "more fun"! :noway:

But, "funnier" is a word, i.e. "his joke was funnier than mine." Now, if you meant "funner," then, I agree because that's not a word.:flowerforyou:

Most of you are missing the point of the post. What you are posting makes sense. In other words, the "sayings" make sense. The only ones that don't is when they are not correct, such as "I could care less" is a great example of idiocy.

Since we've gotten off track from the intent here, I think the only one that I really hate is "I know right?" If someone says that, I always want to punch them in the face. Especially, if they are over 40. A 20 year old, I can understand because 20-year-olds are idiots. But, for anyone over 40 to walk around saying, "I know right?", you should be killled immedaitely, or at least maimed badly.

"I could care less". Well yes, You could care less in fact. It should be "I couldn't care less."
It burns my *kitten* to see it!

You took the words right off of my keyboard....Urghhhh!

It irks me when people says, "Well, you know, muscle weighs more than fat..."

No, it doesn't! If you have a pound of muscle and a pound of fat, guess what? They both weigh exactly the same. We need to change the saying to something like, "Fat is greedy and takes up more room in your body" :laugh:

THANK YOU!!!! i thought i was the only one irked by this saying. lol. a pound is a pound is a pound is a pound!! a pound of feathers weighs the same as a pound of bricks!! :grumble:

and i like your "fat is greedy...." saying.

"it's always the last place you look" hahaha, not sure why but i hate when people say this. DUH why would i keep looking for it after ive found it? lol

or this one's cousin "where were you when you had it last?" If I knew that, it wouldn't be lost!

I used to work with a girl who "took her baby a bath" and "took her dog a bath" Really? Where did you take them the bath? You must be really stong to be able to pick up an entire bath and take it to someone. You BATHE your baby and BATHE your dog!!! UGH!

THIS, i have clients that use this all the time, it annoys me to no end

There was a client, I'll call her Mrs. Brown, when I worked for a vet who added, "right?" after every sentence. I'd answer the phone and she'd say, "This is Mrs. Brown, right?" It took a while to realize she wasn't asking if I was Mrs. Brown... at first, I'd say, "There's no one here by that name. This is Lori... how may I help you?"

my family version is "you can't have your cake and penny too". Which makes more sense than either of the others quoted here.

How does that make any sense? The two are completely unrelated - unless you bought the cake for a penny, which is a bit of a walk around the park - and who sells cake for a penny?!? I want to go to that bakery RIGHT NOW!
