Is there a certain phrase that people use all the time that drives you nuts?

Stormkitten · 61-69, F

I know the posted question was in reference to phrases, but there are single misused words as well which grate terribly on my ears:

1. Extreme overuse of the word "surreal" in a casual context has, in my opinion, sadly diminished the intended gravity of this adjective!
2. Mispronouncing "nuclear" as "nucular"- 😫
3. "My bad"

When people say,"I could care less" instead of,"I couldn't care less".

Zoranna · F

@Wraithorn Yes! Totally agree.

GlassDog · 41-45, M

@Wraithorn That's one of mine too. They're opposites!

@Wraithorn [b]Yes ![/b]

When people get depressed, and someone says get over it, I want to slap the living hell out of them.

MrsKatherineArch · 41-45, F

@SW-User would they get over the pain of a good slapping?

SW-User

@MrsKatherineArch i don't think so 🤣🤣🤣
Tempting though!

“Definately”-please note: it is supposed to be spelled DEFINITELY!

@MrsKatherineArch @MrsKatherineArch
Yes! Or "Defiantly"!

MrsKatherineArch · 41-45, F

@Stormkitten that one too!

FreeSpirit1 · 51-55, F

When people use literally wrong my head literally explodes.

When someone says "smile" why the fook would I want to smile when I'm told to. Since I wasn't smiling in the first place. They can jog on!!!

Rob04 · 18-21, M

Oh yes I had that. It is annoying as heck. I smile for like few seconds then go back serious once they've looked away. @Dusty101

@Rob04 I juse stuck my tongue out like a 5 year old at them.😜

“Are we having fun yet?”

Do I look like I’m having fucking fun asshole?

SW-User

@Teggy I hate when people throw we in there.
The damn lab tech told me,"We're going to feel a little pinch."

Teggy

@SW-User Me neither.

bijouxbroussard · F

@Zoranna When a poster says “I’m bored, someone talk to me” I’m less inclined. I always think, “how insulting ! I’m not here to entertain you.” 😒

Zoranna · F

@bijouxbroussard Exactly! I just ignore those requests completely.

"Whatever."

"I know; right?"

"He goes / she goes" (Blah blah blah, and he goes, blah blah , and then she goes, blah blah ...) *Throw a few hundred misplaced "likes" in there, and it becomes a capital offense.

Harmonium1923 · 51-55, M

I once called out an employee for saying “Whatever” to me. If you disagree or you think I’m not hearing something important, then tell me that clearly.

Cloud7593 · 46-50, F

"That's just life." It's a mean statement I think. If I'm unhappy abt something it's the last thing I need to hear.

bijouxbroussard · F

@Cloud7593 Yes. That is no comfort at all. And if something “goes without saying” it probably needn’t be said. 😒

PoetryNEmotion · F

How about the classic: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger? I LOATHE that one!

FreeSpirit1 · 51-55, F

@PoetryNEmotion haha,yea a 2×4 to the head won't kill you but you won't be stronger laying in a coma.

SheCallsMeCrushDaddy · M

Whenever someone says Bae..... or "Can i axe you a question"..... or says "Dilly Dilly"

SW-User

"On fleek". I mean, it just sounds stupid.

bijouxbroussard · F

@SW-User I have never heard that one. 😃

SW-User

When one door closes another one opens 😡

Graylight · 51-55, F

@SW-User But it's hell in the hallway.

Graylight · 51-55, F

"That just happened."

And "woke." It's not proper English and we already have plenty of terminology for enlightened and aware.

bijouxbroussard · F

@Graylight Yeah, that is slang.

GlassDog · 41-45, M

When people say, "Just saying" at the end of a sentence. That makes whatever they've said seem worse than it already did.

PoetryNEmotion · F

Whatever.
It is what it is. (Well of course. What ELSE could it be?)
Don't worry. Be happy.
I don't care.

MartinII · 70-79, M

“Let’s face it”. Thankfully, it’s not quite as common here in the UK as it used to be.

SW-User

"Just sayin'" and "It is what it is"

bijouxbroussard · F

@SW-User Ha ! Guilty. 😅

When your talking to someone and while you are talking they go 'yep,yep,yep...yep...yep,yep,yep...yep'. Me thinks 'looking for a Dirty harry slap?' stfu!

HypnoChode · 46-50, M

I hate the new thing where people say “it’s been a minute” when actually they mean “it’s been a while”.

Rob04 · 18-21, M

"Listen" and "Am much more clever than you so hush." Finally "Yeah? Wanna prove it!?"

AcidBurn

People who say "like" every two or three words.

BlueRain · F

When people say “y’all”

SheCallsMeCrushDaddy · M

BlueRain · F

@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy I’m from the North and if Someone uses it, it screams they are from the Sourh.
