Expressions you hate..

-This is still a text-based thing, but "LOL" needs to be shot, buried under 6 feet of concrete, and done with. "LOL" makes a person look like they still use AOL. Each usage of "LOL" makes a person's IQ drop 20 points in the eyes of people intelligent enough to write what they need to say with reasonable attempts at correct grammar and punctuation, and without this mind-numbingly stupid interjection. What is especially irritating is when someone peppers an otherwise serious message with them, "Zombies R rippin out my gutz LOL Im txtin this B4 I turn! LOL Eat U l8tr ppl"

-It annoys me to no end when people respond to something I've said by saying "fair enough." I've dated a couple of guys who used it a lot, so it just really irks me.

-I am also appalled when people say "I could care less," when they clearly mean "I couldn't care less."

-I hate it when people say, "if it's there time to go, it's there time to go." The hell it is! We just lost my 15 year old cousin, an incredibly promising kid, to a tragic accident. It was NOT his time to go. If you want to spew about an afterlife and spirituality, then I have every right to turn around and proclaim my atheism to your face and explain how your fairy fart beliefs don't hold any logical weight... and how DARE you tell me that it was a teenage boy's time to die? Oh, and for the record, what I tell people in consolation goes something as follows, "I know you've heard all of the third-rate Hallmark consolations a thousand times already, so I will spare you that crap. If you need to rant, distract yourself from what's going on by doing something normal, or wander off and completely ignore everyone for a few hours, I totally understand." This is the sort of thing I told my 15 year old cousin's 17 year old sister, who lost her only sibling just as she was graduating from high school.

-I will admit to using "Tar-jay" when referring to Target, but mostly because I live in a small town where Target is about to take over our (Canadian) department store, Zellers (they bought out most of them from the Hudson's Bay Company. I LIKED Zellers, and will miss it). No one wants Target in this town. We already have a Walmart, as it is.

- "Totes!"
- "Awkies!"
- "YOLO!"

...ugh.

I hate the expression "Just sayin'". There is a ***** who usese this on a music forum I frequent and she uses it all the time. For those who don't know me, I usually get along with everyone but this gal rubs everyone wrong. Every time I hear or see it, I think of that wench. Sometimes I'll use it just to mock her...just sayin' !!

I hate this expression too and was just coming on this thread to say so!! I know a lot of people probably do mean "I'm just stating a fact (which you may not be aware of)" by it, but it so reads like "I'm just saying this fact to try to make myself look clever and you look stupid because surely you should have noticed something so glaringly obvious" or it makes the entire post look passive-aggressive i.e. "i'm not really just saying, I'm attacking you but I'm typing "just saying" so I can pretend that I'm not"

You only live once/Yolo
Damn that song for ruining a saying I used to like.

1) yadda yadda yadda......
2) WE"RE pregnant (AAARGGGGG!!!!! )
3) holly guacamoley...(RRRRRRRRRRR)
4) Play it by ear (pretty lame)
5) If it isn't the pot calling the kettle black
6) Just sayin'

you know what Im saying (on repeat) and the use of the word like before every third word in a sentence, and "UHM.....(on repeat as well...)

think outside the box! all business double speak is BS

and "with all due respect" ... you say this at the start of a sentence when there is NONE!

Well, with all due respect... oh, hang on.

People who like say "like" at least four times like in every f*cking sentence like so like... It's like drives me insane. it's like aaarrggghhh!!! :huh: :explode:

this and yeah yeah ah yeah.. AHHHHHH

I know it's not an expression, but when someone uses 'gay' as an insult or as a word to describe something that they don't like or that they find bad. I literally call them out on it. I just want to reach over and slap them in the face.

I once almost used it to insult a gay guy..after realizing he would not find it insulting since it was an accurate description I yelled "YOU F*CKING HETERO" at him. Since then I've realized how stupid gay actually sounds when using it as an insult.

^^^This is AWESOME.

"It was/wasn't meant to be"

"Everything happens for a reason"

"Don't worry about it"

"Don't be sad, be happy"

F off :grumble:

Also heard in (rural) GA: How to offer someone a ride home: "May I carry you home"? hmmmmm. I'm kinda heavy. You can try.

:laugh:

While in NC, someone asked if I needed help putting my groceries in my "boot". I usually just put them in my trunk lol

Agreed on "it is what it is"- meaningless.

Also "Can you say [insert any word here]" What does that even MEAN? Is it an american thing?

I don't like it when people end every sentence with 'you know' or 'like you know' - I know its a mostly 'Irish' a habit/saying but it does my head in (and sometimes I'm guilty of it too but I'm really trying to phase it out lol)

"Twelve, one half-dozen or the other"

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

Have you ever made a mistake or typed the wrong word by accident? Everyone else who commented on it knew what I meant to say...you on the other hand just felt the need to make someone feel stupid.

The expression "i'll give 110%". I wonder if, in a job interview, a candidate promised to give 87%, would the candidate get the job?

"Everything happens for a reason" cannot stand it and what a load of tosh anyway.
