    "My Bad".

    My mother taught me proper grammar (by constantly correcting me).
    Therefore this statement is completely illogical to me!! :)

    "I'll pray for you" "CPS should take away your children" or "You're going to hell"

    those are expressions?

    1. "There's nothing you (or we) can do"
    I'm not a submissive person so whenever I hear this phrase, I feel like hitting the one who said that with a steel rod. While there are indeed some things that is way beyond our control but that doesn't mean that it is impossible. That phrase really doesn't help except to make more people lazy.

    2. "God has a better plan for you"
    That's why my faith weakened & then my uber religious parents would wonder why, LMAO!!

    I consider "I'll pray for you" to be an expression. The others are just part of the explanation for why I hate it.

    If I hear "It is what it is" one more time I will burst...I was at the store today and someone next to me said it....I think I bit my knuckles!!! My apologies to frequent users of this expression...but...I - just - can't - stand it..

    what do you got?

    Yes! Yes!! Me too! I can't stand it.
    What is worse is "it was what it was"..
    Really!??!?!

    Ugh.
    Another pet peeve of mine is when people say "wah-lah" instead of "voila!" "Wah-lah" isn't a word. lol (I hear this ALL the time on the HGTV shows.. its like nails on a chalk board for me)

    I can't stand when people say, "For all intensive purposes!"

    SERIOUSLY!!! WTF DOES THAT EVEN MEAN????

    It's for all intents and purposes!

    "Time heals all wounds."
    "Same difference."
    "Everything happens for a reason."
    "If God meant for it to happen, then it would have happen."

    I kept hearing these after my dad passed away and after I didn't get into NYU. The two lowest points of my life. :mad:

    Oh and the expression, "Bless your heart!"

    All southern women know that means nothing more than "Go f**k yourself!"

    My ones are :

    You have such potential. (which makes me feel what I have now is *kitten*!)

    You have such a pretty face...( because everyone knows after that is the unheard rest of 'but the rest of you needs serious work")

    While not an expression, hearing people say they want to 'aks' a question or say 'ek cetera'.

    EXCETERA IS THE WORST.

    The f---ing term is ET. The Latin word for "and". CETERA. The Latin word for OTHER THINGS.

    It's also not ect. ...It's etc.

    I think I love you. Or as the kids say, I heart you! As a former Latin student, this one grates on my nerves so badly. I want to smack someone when they use, spell or pronounce it incorrectly. Another one that slays me is the "c" in miscellaneous. It's silent; I wish everyone knew that. Oh, and the "ask" not "aks"...I can't even talk about that one.

    Also...words shortened for the sake of trendiness...like "Oh she's just jelly" (as in jealous) and girls adding in the word "so" unnecessarily like "are you SOOOO excited?!"

    OMG! I hate that too. I was watching last season of American idol, and every time, Jennifer Lopez said, "I got goosies..." I got irritated, It's goosebumps!!

    1) "guestimate"... it's "estimate"... thanks. "guestimate" is NOT a word.

    2) "Irregardless"... it's "regardless". Believe me. If you don't, look it up.

    3) "That's gay"... Do I even HAVE to explain this one? It's just rude, insensitive, & makes you sound homophobic... No, I'm not gay, but it still sounds like nails on a chalkboard.

    4) "I was Jipped/Jewed"... racist comment against Gypsies/Jewish People used as nazi propaganda to make people think they were thieves, & that was why they needed to be (as a race!) killed... and YES... I *do* ask people if they know the origin of that phrase when they use it, and am not afraid to tell people the TRUE meaning of what they just said. Once again... I'm not a Gypsy, nor am I Jewish.
