Popular phrases that annoy you
 

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.

"that rocks"

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

Thoughts?

More cowbell (for rkmsuf)

px pls, thx

How 'bout them Cowboys?

It's "How 'bout DEM Cowboys!"

Whatever. Either way, it's gay.

I hate the word "Awesome"

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

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.

Come on people. We need better entries.

Let's think "outside the box".



*shudder* Oh, how I hate that phrase!

"Tight."

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

Jazzed.

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?

/end rant

"word"

You mean any word, or just words like nucular?

Irregardless, he hate "word".

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

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

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.

"it's all good"

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

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.

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).

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

:D

upside

"Kerry-Edwards in 2004"-It makes me sick when I see this.

"That's Gay"

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?

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?

How about "faggoty?" That one never gets old...

:rolleyes:


:p

Super. (unless followed by Bowl)

Pisses me off. (and no, this was not a second answer)

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

Fuckers.

Oh Oh

"Talk to the hand"

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.

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.

inappropriate

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

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'

you would hate Swingers

So basically, all we do all day is annoy the fuck out of each other.

I hate the the word hella (As in that's hella cool)

"more or less"

fo shizzle my nizzle!

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..

What broadcast are you listening to? I know that's not WLW. :)

Without "me", it'd just be "aweso"

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

John Kerry is a war hero.

Oops...another thread gets politicized. :p

These two quotes back-to-back reminded of an era many years ago, when Monte Moore was the play-by-play man for the MLB team in Oakland, and always referred to them as the "Swingin' A's."

Exactly!

People that cannot complete a thought without using the word "basically." Basically, it gets freaking annoying when they basically cannnot state a simple thought without, basically, using it.

Right now Im trying to break free of using the work "Jank" or "Jenk" as a replacement for "thing."

I echo the sentiment about the eyeroll smiley...

But I really hate the retarded sports nickname trend of "first letter of first name, first syllable of last name." Please, let's bring REAL nicknames back! Kevin Youkilis -- now there's a kid with a nickname, and it ain't K-Youk.

Mac, stop sending your kids to school naked.

My candidate:
"you know"

Example:
"You know, blah blah blah, you know, blah, you know, blah blah. You know, right?"

Effect:
*bangs head against wall*

Coincidentially, this thread may need more.

"honestly" really annoys me.

When someone adds "yo" to the end of a sentence. That's whack, yo.

"Not tonight, I have a headache."

Number one all time word I cant stand.

"Nigga"

"I am looking for a golfball"

example:

Q: Why is your finger in my ass?
A: I am looking for a golfball.

Something really destroyed the meaning of the word "Hero" to me. Any sentence with the word hero in it makes me think of an underachieving football team who keep losing against 'guaranteed wins'.
:rolleyes:

And I bet Cthomer5000 will come in and write he's annoyed by my use of the above given emoticon.

Any lies HA spews regarding Dean Houston

"Catch you on the flip side."

The one that makes me angry every time I hear it, is when somebody declares themself to be humble. Seems like a lot of athletes like to pull that one out now. Eg: Last year, I came in thinking I was the bomb (another great one), but this year, I'm going to come in humble and stay humble and try to have a great year.

Is it even actually possible to be humble, when you're the one saying you are?

LOL

For some reason, I hate that abbreviation...
