Popular phrases that annoy you

Kodos · 08-02-2004, 04:27 PM

I notice most new phrases annoy me these days. Maybe I'm just hopelessly old already. I'll start the list and people can add ones they don't like.

1. I'd hit it.

MJ4H · 08-02-2004, 04:29 PM

"that rocks"

KevinNU7 · 08-02-2004, 04:29 PM

When someone starts a new thread it annoys me when they end it with a

How 'bout them Cowboys?

Kodos · 08-02-2004, 04:39 PM

It's "How 'bout DEM Cowboys!"

Agreed. I actually thought you were saying it just because I hate the Cowboys.

sachmo71 · 08-02-2004, 04:51 PM

So and so was "tapped" to be the next intelligence "czar." Both drive me nuts.

Pretty much most modern IT speak gives me tired head.

"Let's talk about this offline." Well, we aren't friggin' online, we're in a room, dumbass.

SplitPersonality1 · 08-02-2004, 04:51 PM

Come on people. We need better entries.

Let's think "outside the box".

*shudder* Oh, how I hate that phrase!

duckman · 08-02-2004, 05:03 PM

"Tight."

I hate when people say that word in place of "cool".

digamma · 08-02-2004, 05:04 PM

No, I was saying it because *I* hate the Cowboys. Let's add another one to the list:

"America's Team."

I mean, who the fuck made them "America's Team?" What's all-American about the Cowpies? Besides the drunk and disorderly behavior?

I could see the Patriots being "America's Team." They've got a patriotic name and colors.

Or maybe the Redskins... they're named after the natives, and based in the nation's capitol.

Or maybe the Packers... because they're the only publicly owned small-market team in the NFL.

But the Cowboys? Dear God, can we stop with that shit already?

Desnudo · 08-02-2004, 05:31 PM

A-Rod and any nickname derived from that. J-Lo, D-Lowe, etc..

Maple Leafs · 08-02-2004, 05:45 PM

The use of the word "literally" as if it were a synonym for "very" or "really".

hhiipp · 08-02-2004, 06:03 PM

I can't stand when someone says "peeps" unless they are referring to the marshmallowy candy in which case it's fine.

But when used in the context of "Man there are a lot of peeps in here," that grates on me.

klayman · 08-02-2004, 06:34 PM

"it's all good"

CamEdwards · 08-02-2004, 06:40 PM

"money", as in "that's money".

pennywisesb · 08-02-2004, 06:45 PM

I can't stand when someone is telling me a story, and they say either "to make a long story short" or "blah blah blah" in their story. If I'm taking the time to listen to your story, at least give me the full story.

pennywisesb · 08-02-2004, 06:49 PM

dola
I also can't stand it when fans of a certain band find it necessary to speak of the band by using the lead singers first name. ie. Dave Matthews Band and fans saying "Dave", Jack Johnson and fans saying "Jack", Mariah Carey as "Mariah", or Michael Bolton as "No-Talent Ass Clown". Do you know him personally?! If you do I guess its ok, but since 99.99% of fans don't, show the guy alittle respect (totally kidding on the Bolton, because that guy truly is a no-talent ass clown).

sabotai · 08-02-2004, 06:52 PM

No way. Why should I change? He's the one who sucks.

"That's Gay"

Maple Leafs · 08-02-2004, 07:30 PM

Can I bend the rules a little and nominate the "rolly eyes" smiley?

Does anything say "I have no coherent argument, and yet strongly wish to express that I'm a smug prick" better than that one symbol?

EagleFan · 08-02-2004, 07:32 PM

Word! Look at all my peeps that responded to this thread and I'll start by giving a shout-out to F-No. It's obvious that we all think outside the box. I am totally jazzed about the tight responses. It's all good!!!!

Now who else is krunk?

Fonzie · 08-02-2004, 07:50 PM

Not! as the "punchline" to a sarcastic sentence always makes me want to lose my shit. Ain't funny. Very old. Very annoying.

Fuckers.

Glengoyne · 08-02-2004, 07:52 PM

Oh Oh

"Talk to the hand"

hhiipp · 08-02-2004, 08:06 PM

Any random comments about the weather to someone who you know doesn't want to talk to you and you don't want to talk to them.. but they feel the need to speak and it's always about the weather.

kcchief19 · 08-02-2004, 08:12 PM

Don't go there.

I also can't stand anything that has been or could be said by Snoop Dogg. "Kodos-dog dropped by fo' shizzle with the bling-bling." What the hell is that supposed to mean? Don't these people know there are any number of real languages they could speak? Doesn't have to be English -- doesn't even need to be proper grammar. Just actually words I can work with is all I'm seeking.

Mac Howard · 08-02-2004, 08:16 PM

inappropriate

Particularly when used by sanctimonious, moral crusaders from the school board

korme · 08-02-2004, 08:17 PM

i love baseball phrases, 'seeing eye single', 'frozen rope', 'bloop single', etc, etc, however, i get uncomfortable seeing a homerun fest take place, followed by hearing

'that's more dongs than a gangbang porno'

Rick Reilly is a hack, but the greatest line he ever coined was that they weren't America's team (at the time of the cocaine issues)- they were South America's team..

In the '80s, we called the Cowboys was "South America's Team."
