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???
Your college roomie musta liked it rough is all I can say!
The rode hard and put up wet saying has origins in the old days when people used horses to get around, and if you didn't cool your horse off, unsaddle him, and dry the moisture off the skin, it could cause them to smell or look bad.0 -
Use of the word "yeah" at the beginning of a sentence in order to say "no". "yeah, no that's not gonna happen".0

It's not fair! Well guess what? Nothing is F@cking fair! It's called life, no one gets the same piece of the pie, no matter how you cut it. I told my kids the word fair has no meaning at all.
Even some stranger who decided to interviene one day at the beach cuz my son was playing and the other kids didn't like it, thus proceeded to tell me how it wasn't "fair" that he was destroying things they worked very hard on in the sand....Hello lady? It's SAND! He wasn't hurting anyone and waited till they moved onto the next sand castle before demolishing it. All I can say is life isn't "fair" those kids better learn early that no matter how hard they work some A-hole will always be there to stomp your stupid sand castle.
What wasn't "fair" is not allowing my 2 yr old developmentally challeged son to play the way he wants at a public beach but you didn't hear me whining how "it's not fair."
I go off when I hear ppl say it!0 -
I hate "Just sayin'..." or ending a somewhat contraversial statement with "IJS." It seems like they think adding IJS will absolve them of any responsibility if what they've said offends somebody.0

when im pumping gas and some assbag says "workin hard or hardly workin" and im like, sweating. booooooooo
ASSBAG! There's my new word!
Hey how about douche bag. Hate that one.0 -
Never ever listen to me talk...ever. Or my son, who has picked up every one of these habits."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)
Same here... I say "I'm just saying" a lot because my mom would always accuse me of complaining... when "I was just saying" :laugh:0 -

To be fair, I'd be kinda pissed off if someone's kid destroyed mine/my child's sandcastle.0 -
I don't know if it's been said yet, because I haven't been able to read through all of them, but here are the ones that bugs me:
"Unthaw"- Most people use it as a replacment for "thaw", when it means quite the opposite
"Irregardless" - This is almost never used correctly
"Pacifically" - As in, "I pacifically told you to do that!" The Pacific is an ocean.
"There ya be!" - I worked in a party store and a lady said this every time she handed out the bag she said this.0 -
"Irregardless" - This is almost never used correctly
How would someone use that correctly? Even if it was a word, it would mean the same thing as regardless.0 -
pretty much any corporate jargon makes me want to punch someone in the throat. "push the envelope" "hit it out of the park" "take a stab at it" "dog and pony"
Also, i'm a graphic designer and if someone asks me to "just jazz it up" one more time, i'm going to jazz my foot up their *kitten*.
Oh yes. To keep yourself from gouging your eye out with a pen during management presentations, you can play Buzzword Bingo with your co-workers. Some suggestions for the bingo board:
"...going forward"
"within the organization"
"outside the box"
"from a (marketing/revenue/cost) perspective..."
"...to drive (sales/revenue/etc.)"
"...impact..." (as a verb)
"...leverage..." (as a verb)
"right-size" (euphemism for company death spiral)
"human capital"
"core competency"
"align"
"the culture (of the "organization")"
It's fun. You may get lucky and bingo in one sentence, "Now that we have right-sized the organization, going forward we will leverage our remaining human capital by aligning with each group's core competencies to drive sales and impact revenue. Going forward."0 -
"Unanswered points" in sports, especially football, when the other team hasn't had the opportunity to score yet. You can't say "unanswered" until the other team had a chance and failed.0
-
YOLO, or You Only Live Once.. meant as an expression of youth, hope, freedom, and all that deep stuff, but people just use it as an excuse to do dangerous things. It's also the single most used (+abused) phrase among young people today.0

"drill down" This is used at my work so often and I can't stand it! We're always having to "drill down" something! GRRRR!!!!0

see ya when i see ya0

Okay it is not an expression but a word. I hate the word "nice". It lacks depth, description, meaning, potency - you name it. It is a weak little word and in my mind it is the veritable 98 lb weakling on the word beach. I despise it. I effin' hate that word. And all variations thereof. I particularly hate it when combined with "very." "Very Nice" should be deemed illegal and anyone who says it should be flogged. Just my opinion.0

Someone destroyed my sand castle I built when I was like 5 or so. I cried and told my parents, they just told me to rebuilt and stop whining. lol0 -

I dont know where they get this crap from but its stupid.
Did you.... Did you just hate on the Cookie Monster!!??When people say "Literally" when they mean "figuratively."
"I'm literally starving to death."
But.. you would never say "I'm figuratively starving to death."
I agree. They are obviously being hyperbolous.0 -
Cannot stand when some one ends every sentence with "like seriously" or "like really" drives me up the walls.0
-
"Hey shawty." Or any phrase with the made up word "shawty" in it.
"What's up dawg." Or any phrase with the made up word "dawg" in it.
Pretty much any phrase that was made up by rappers I absolutely hate because nothing annoys me more than rap.
Do you live in 1997?0 -
I might have to steal that:)"Everything happens for a reason." I feel like it's just a way to help someone deal with a situation and for some reason drives me bananas.
Hahaha....my husband posted this on facebook today "Everything happens for a reason, but sometimes that reason is that you're stupid and make bad decisions"0 -
when a woman says while I'm inside her "Does red soars on my vagina mean I should be worried?" ARRRRGH HATE THAT!!!0
-
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?
Oh, dear....I use that phrase....

Being in a store with my husband and being greeted by the cashier - "How are you guys today?"
Excuse me?
Being of the female gender, I am not, nor ever will be one of the "guys."
Is it imposible to just say "Hello" anymore?0 -
"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.
This is an incorrect interpretation.0 -
"Nothing for nothing" and theres this one guy i know that will use about 10 times in a 3 min time frame....it drives me bonkers!!0
-
"For shame" sounds stupid to me.0
-
+1 for "Just sayin". No SH@T!?! really; is that why you just said it??
Also, in work meetings I hear the term "dodged a bullet" too often. I've never seen anyone that was killed by a memo from the plant manager. There are people who's job it is to dodge real bullets, little chunks of metal traveling 2400 feet per second or greater. Just irks me a little, comparing our stresses with someone else who's stress is in a totally different league.0 -
"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.
This is an incorrect interpretation.
I have to agree that the interpretation is a little off.
I couldn't care less = I could not care less = there is no caring at all left in me, or my ammount of caring is absolute zero.
To say that I could care less means that there is still some caring in me that I haven't gotten rid of yet.
It may look funny but i believe that "I couldn't care less" is propper. Of course I failed grade school for the most part...0 -
I don't think I couldn't care less is a double negative because if you unleashed the contraction the sentence would read I could not care any less than I do. I true double negative would be i.e., I couldn't not eat the cake. If you unleash the contraction you see the sentence still contains the double negative could not not eat the cake0
