    I hate anythin that has to do with "karma", it is what it is, it happened for a reason....If I took it is what it is as an answer I would not be where I am now, because you can work to change things. I've even seen women in a "New England Moms" board say "Everything happens for a reason" in a conversation about rape/abortion. Yes, a bunch of women were pretty much okaying rape. All of those cliches are annoying though. Weight related, my MIL likes to say "We're/I'm not fat just fluffy" and other things ot make being fat sound cute. Since I've been posting about working out and stuff she commented on my facebook that exercise makes you look silly (while you work out) and she's "allergic" lol. I'm allergic to dying young I guess :)

    "Theoretically speaking" instantly stops me from listening further because if you're theorizing, you obviously don't have anything useful or practical to offer to the discussion. I, therefore, refuse to spend any more time listening to your garbage. :glasses:

    "You know what I mean?" at the end of every other sentence.

    Umm...no. If I knew, I wouldn't be listening to your explanation -__-

    I do know what you mean! lol


    Oh, I can't stand that ! I work with somebody who constantly says "you know what I mean?" And to make it even worse, she'll look right at you like you are completely clueless when she says it. Sometimes she'll take it up a notch with "seriously, you know what I mean?" There have been many times when I've wanted to grab her by the throat and say "Yes, I do know what you mean, because you took my idea/suggestion/method and reworded it and verbally vomited it all over the place so that it sounds like you thought of it yourself." YES, I know what you mean!!!

    The same woman who signs everything "warmly" writes "KWIM?" all the time. I had to ask what it meant. Ugh. You know what I mean???

    Not really an expression, but I have identical twin boys, and I have been asked way too many times "Did you have them naturally?" I understand they are asking if I used fertility drugs or not, which is still way personal and no ones business....by the way no I did not take fertility drugs.... but one day I was beyond annoyed and told the lady "Why yes, I pushed them both right out of my v*gina...no drugs. Thanks for asking. How did you have your kids?" Yep, I think I offended her.......oh well.

    hahahaha awesome! I love when people ask about boy/girl twins, "are they identical"? duh . . .

    LOL A friend of mine has boy/girl twins and she gets asked that all the time....after years of explaining how they scientifically/medically CANNOT be identical, she just started saying "Yep, they sure are! "


    That drives me crazy too. Twin genetics are much more complicated than just identical or not...but there's a big difference between that X and Y chromosome!

    Thinking about it more, I think its worst when people say "Well X has it worse than you" or "Well, we managed to get through X fine..." when you are having a hard time. My mil says those to me all the time if my house isn't 100% like showroom clean and I have 3 kids 4 and under (something she NEVER had to deal with!)

    "Twelve, one half-dozen or the other"

    Well that is classic ignorance; getting the cliche wrong! "Six of one, half dozen of the other".

    All of the above (though I've never heard "twitch twitch").

    Here, here! - instead of Hear, hear!

    LOL - I've never found an instance where "LOL" was used and the sentence preceding it was the least bit funny, let alone laugh out loud funny..

    "God doesn't give you anymore than you can handle" I have a severely handicapped daughter and yes there are days when it is definitely more than I can handle! I hate this saying...

    "It will get better."

    "I know how you feel."

    When a severely depressed person is told to "buck up" or anything of the sort.

    baby daddy/momma and hubby/wifey sound white trashy to me. I also hate the word "yuppers." Kill myself.

    The word "Watchacall" like " He picked up thew Watchacall" My response is always. "Whats a dam Watchacall, use your words"

    I hate when people throw words from other lanquages in with English. "No Bueno"

    Any typical hi's, hello's, and good morning greetings when their is no intent for a real conversation. The worst one, "How you Doing"
    My response. "Well My *kitten* itches, I'm horny , and I need to crap....if you don't want to know then don't ask."

    4. Surrounding a miscarriage or death of a child "You can have another one."
    Or my personal favourite "It just wasn't meant to be". My mother said that to me after one of my MCs, I told her straight the next person to tell me that was getting punched in the face.

    I hate the tupical funeral sayings. "They're in a better place" "everything happens for a reason." "At least they won't suffer anymore."
    "I'm sorry for your loss." "My condolences"

    The next time I lose a loved one I want someone to say the real stuff to me. "Well that sucks, you're life is going to be hell for a while and if you're lucky, you won't be in the ground soon yourself. But stop whining"
