Phrases that annoy you...
 

This will probably be a dud of a thread, but screw it.

What are some overused phrases that annoy you?

Here's a couple that irk me for no rational reason:

"Across the pond" - I hear a lot of Americans use this phrase when referring to people from England, or just England in general. "Yea, we're headed on a vacation across the pond." Everyone uses this phrase and I hate it. It may have been clever the first time someone said it....but not anymore.

"In the drink" - fisherman use this one. If they're on the boat, and they knock something over and it goes in the water, they'll say it went in the drink. "Damn, my phone fell out of my hand and went in the drink. I'll have to buy a new one."

"Wet our lines/kayaks" - I've heard people use "wet our lines" quite a bit and it never bothered me too much, until I worked on shift with a kayak enthusiast. Any time you asked him what he was doing next weekend, he always said "Oh, I'm gonna go get my kayak wet." Every freaking time. Just got tired of hearing the same phrase.

There's a few more, if I think of them, I'll post them.

"whatnot"
maybe it's not a phrase, but it sounds ****in stupid.
sec

It qualifies.

Blueblood. Very dumb.

although "blow it out your ass" is a personal favorite.
sec

"Not too terribly long ago" - I have a buddy who says this when trying to recall something from recent past. "Hey man, you remember that phone call I got from the insurance company not too terribly long ago?" How is this phrase any different from "not too long ago?" Adding the word "terribly" to it does nothing.

lol...I've got no qualms with that phrase.

i also fall back on "go **** yourself" quite often.
sec

"That's a wholenother situation."

"Sir sir sir"

"The Kansas City Chiefs select......"

The correct answer is, "it is what it is".

Dead giveaway that the person you are talking to is completely dense (or terrible in conversation).

"I know, right?"

"outside the box"
sec

It is what it is.

"I'm just sayin"

"...and blah, blah, blah"
sec

"This"

Also, there are a good handful of CPers who use this one on a regular basis. I even saw one who proclaimed that he was an "is what it is 'guy'".

I was baffled.

Clay will get this one...

"Likes going out as well as staying in. Looking for a man's man with a soft side. Open minded and down to earth, but you must have the same interests"

Phrases that annoy you...
 

"i got your daughter pregnant."
sec

LMAO

"Well.. bye"

You finna get neg repped around these parts.

seclark is in rare form tonight. LMAO

Lame nicknames for struggling players...aka Mouse

Case of the Mondays. Go to hell!

I hate it when I hear or read someone say they are going to give any more than 100%... I always think to myself, "what are you gonna do? ****ing duplicate yourself??"

That or the other.

"Irregardless"

Anything big nasty kc nut ever posts.

mugsy too.

"Then the midgits"

"Well, you know...."

No asshole. I do not know.....

"HE GONE"

This.

"You know?" at the end of a statement. Am I supposed to actually answer?

The word "jelly" for jealous.

With stunted legs

Tldr

BBW

I always wondered what people meant by that....I always imagined people being characterized as "fat" when I read that...yet it never made sense to me.

FYP

Too fat

Asking people to complain seldom results in a dud.

See what I'm saying

Can I ask you a question

Do you know how fast you were going

That reminds me... I hated it when people used to say "phat" as in "pretty hot and tempting." (Shudders).

Any of the ****ing assholes who use:

"In"
"spot on"
"Banhammer"
"Top Shelf"

I find that when someone ends an explanation with "You know what I mean?" I seldom do.

"This is a trap game."

The one that annoys the **** out of me

Grooming a quarterback

Grooming anyone

Just sounds dirty, grooming :facepalm:

I used to hate, "I know, right?"

or the shorter "Right?" as a question.

Now I find myself using it all the time. I have been assimilated.

"Just got done watching game tape"

No u didn't! !!

"Agree to disagree"

No, I don't agree with agreeing to disagree.

I'm in on this spot on post. I hope I don't get the banhammer for this but seriously it was Top Shelf.

I never realized "phat" was an acronym.

It's even more annoying when they spell midget correctly.

Turn your head and cough.

I disagree with your refusal to agree to disagree.

LMAO

































Actually, neither did I.

Oh.

Well, that one gets personal.

(The turn your head thing, is just so you don't cough in their face.)

"Back east" from people who aren't from east of 'here' or don't regularly go there.

"Well, there you go" ...the worst being back in the day when I had a Chiefs jacket, someone complimented it and I said something like 'if only the team made it worth wearing' and they responded "well, there you go" .....wuh? :spock:

And several other stupid phrases people say without realizing what they're saying, like "I could care less..."

Exactly!

I always assumed they didn't want to look you in their eyes while their jangling your coin purse.

an added bonus.

There, their, or they're.

To be completely honest

"I could care less" when the person means "I couldn't care less." :p

C'mon Luv 2 outta 3 aint bad. (I'm counting "they")

That was my point, for all intensive purposes.

Fill to this line and don't flush.

Now, now. I type fast and proofread faster (actually not at all). You got me. Enjoy the victory tonight because tomorrow it is on like Donkey Kong.

"I could give two ****s"

What a stupid phrase

Get your tongue out of there I've got to shit.

She was such and such age what the hell were you thinking.

At the end of the day, people are gonna do what they're gonna do. Not gonna lie, it is what it is.

That's mine, too. I hate it when people, when corrected, will claim some etymology of the phrase, saying that it was sarcasm or ironic, originally could care less. Nope, it doesn't make sense and no one, at least not the originators, said it in a sarcastic tone like "I could care less... not." Just admit that you heard it used that way and repeated it without thinking about it or are too stubborn to fix it.

I don't correct people, at least not in person, because it's more annoying to be corrected than it was for the mistake to be said, but also because the speaker is often already pissed off. What's the use? They don't fix it and at worst will argue it.

Obamacare
Yep I went there

"You trippin" and "selfie" annoy me.
