    "Roll Tide" or "RTR" or as the majority of the ones that say it with a Marlboro hanging from their mouth: "Rawl Tahd"

    Makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

    The over use of "actually" is actually very annoying as well.

    yes yes yes! my friend's husband says this ALL the time. "that's ACTUALLY really funny." "hah that's ACTUALLY true." no joke. that's why i said it.

    Oh, I could go on for hours and hours.

    Do not "ax" questions, ASK them.

    Do not "pacifically" describe something (unless it's the ocean, ha), SPECIFICALLY describe it.

    Do not order "expresso", what is that, fast coffee? It's ESPRESSO.

    You do not "loose" weight, you LOSE it. "Loose" is the opposite of tight.

    What the hell is "my bad"? When did "bad" become a noun?

    Also, DO NOT ABUSE APOSTROPHES!!! What did they ever do to you?

    EDIT: Oh, we can't forget "irregardless". People! That is not a word! It's REGARDLESS.

    ^These

    I hate that too!

    "Physical Year" no, it's Fiscal Year

    "Ying Yang" no it's Yin Yang

    "tough road to hoe" When did anybody ever hoe a road, you hoe a row in a crop field

    "I'm under the influence that..." You're drunk? No, you're under the impression.

    I'm certain there are many more I just can't think of!

    "I could care less" when they obviously mean "I COULD'NT care less."

    I could care less is the right way to say that though.

    If you say "I couldn't care less"...it's a double negative making you actually care.

    Actually, no... "I couldn't care less" means that you could not possibly care any less. "I COULD care less" means that you actually care more than the minimum you could possibly care. While "less" is considered a negative, grammatically, "I couldn't care less" is an acceptable double negative in the English language. Double negatives aren't universally considered incorrect. Also, while it is sometimes argued that "I could care less" is spoken sarcastically, I have yet to come across a person in my life who seems to be intentionally using it in this manner. See here: http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/could-couldnt-care-less.aspx, and here: http://painintheenglish.com/case/60/, and here: http://thegrammarvandal.wordpress.com/2007/09/05/i-couldnt-care-less-correct/, One more for good measure: http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/questions-and-quandaries/grammar/i-could-care-less-or-i-couldnt-care-less

    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?



    it is what it is is by far the stupidest and most annoying statement of all time

    Thank Nick Saban for making that the popular phrase it is, and yeah, it's stupid.

    No offense to anyone that says it, but I hate when people say 'Praying for you.' or, 'Everything happens for a reason'.

    Also, 'YOLO'.

    :mad:
    Isn't yolo some sort of candy?

    I also love in business how people love to toss around percentages...like someone can actually quantify the amount they are sure of something...

    'it ticks the boxes' and 'it works' - much heard in house hunting programmes and very annoying! Houses don't tick boxes and they don't work either!

    My roommate in college, her favorite expression was "*kitten* me hard with chain saw!" That's a little much. Oh and another one I can't stand is "rode hard, put away wet." Ick. What does that even mean???

    I usually say "it is what it is" at work when my coworkers are babbling to me about their problems. It usually works. I'll stick with it. Sorry, guys. :P

    "actually..." (said in a snotty way) when they're correcting you, like what they're about to say is superior to what you've just said...
    "just saying..." (loathe that one)
    "just so you know... " (not a favorite either)
    Never ever listen to me talk...ever. Or my son, who has picked up every one of these habits.
