    I HATE when people say "That's life", or "Life's a b*tch" after a negative event occurs... Gosh

    I know you can't ALWAYS be positive, but that kind of thinking just makes me feel like the person who said it tends to just blame all their problems on extraneous factors. BAd things just HAPPEN to them, baww baww baww.

    "smh" - I want to punch people who use this

    "I'm just saying..." - No! STFU.

    "Everything will be okay..."

    I know there are more, but those are the main ones.

    Ok I just caved after reading 9 pages of this stuff. I agree with all of of and think it's pretty funny but....

    What's this crap about constantly slapping someone in the face, punching them in the face, throat, etc.

    Aggravating as hell!!!!!

    Another vote for "everything happens for a reason"

    People, know that anyone who has suffered a loss, this is NOT helpful.

    "totes" for totally. I have 2 kids, a house, and a husband, and nursing school alone requires 60 hours a week, and I still have time to say all three syllables of totally.

    Thank you!!!! I hate this one with a passion. :explode: To make it worse, I have a friend who copies me on a lot of things and I said "totes' sarcastically on Facebook one day (there really needs to be a sarcasm font) and then she started saying it all of the time. I said something about it one day and she was all "i saw you say totes one time" I commented "I was totally being sarcastic if I have ever used that word" :angry:

    One that really gets me is "a whole nother"

    'nother' is NOT a word, you can't just split the word 'another' in two and think it makes sense!

    Oh lord "At the end of the day...." and when some one asks "Where are you at?"

    Agreed about 'at the end of the day'. Way overused... but the worst for me is 'Epic Fail'. How rude! Not to be too corny, but I think the only true failure is when you don't even try.

    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 . . .

    :laugh: I have a friend with boy/girl twins, when she has that question she says "Nope, one has a pen!s. :laugh:

    "No offense, but..."

    Invariably followed by something offensive.


    Ugh, this one irritates me so bad!!! Yes offense! I saw a saying once that was perfect "No offense usually means, I am about to say something offensive but don't get mad" :explode:

    "Have a good one"

    Have a good what? You can't mean day, because if you did you would've said "have a good day".

    When people say "honestly" right before they lie.

    "No worries"- just annoys me.

    "I could care less."

    GRRRRRRR

    Its "I couldn't care less."

    I also freaking HATE "YOLO"

    Carpe Diem is so much better than YOLO.

    "I know, right?" Drives me crazy.

    When my 9 year old grandson says this it is cute.. but adults..
    "NOT SO MUCH" (yet another silly one)

    "Dude"
    "You know"
    "You know what I mean"
    "I hear ya"

    All of these are used way too often, and they actually make me cringe when I hear them over and over again!.

    When people say "Literally" when they mean "figuratively."

    "I'm literally starving to death."

    When people say "they say" all of the time to bolster their statement or argument. Who the eff are they?? If you can't remember to give me specifics then I am not taking what you say seriously. :explode:

    supposably. That is NOT a word!! :angry:

    I also hate the "You can't have your cake and eat it too" expression. If you give me cake I'm gonna f***ing eat it. That's why I'm here. If you try to give me cake and tell me I can't eat it I'm going to take a *kitten* on the hood of your car.

    but if you eat it, you don't have it. that's the point!

    I hate that saying too. It does incite the need for a good car ****ting. Too funny! And, even if I ate my cake I would still have it too, in my belly! :wink:

    "Winning"
    Some of the new expressions are better than some of the old ones like

    F$^%-in (as a pronoun for everything) ( guess this is still the most popular one)
    "can't dance" (what?)
    "i see said the blind man"
    "it's not you, it's me" (ha-ha)
    "to fat to fly"
    "go mow the lawn" (I never understood that one)
    "if I was that fat, i would hide" ( pretty crappy saying, but I used to hear it)

    Heard a comedian once joke about the expression "there's more than one way to skin a cat"....he said "how many ways do you need?!"

    I've always agreed.

    I also hate the "You can't have your cake and eat it too" expression. If you give me cake I'm gonna f***ing eat it. That's why I'm here. If you try to give me cake and tell me I can't eat it I'm going to take a *kitten* on the hood of your car.

    oh em gee you had me rolling! haha

    But.. you would never say "I'm figuratively starving to death."
