Re: Terms and Phrases That Irritate Me.
I hate "moving forward" or "going forward". One, as if we had a friggin' choice. Two, those using it seem to think it invoking it absolves the guilty party of anything that happened up 'til that moment. And three, it is almost ALWAYS a politician or politician's mouthpiece using it, which means someone IS guilty of something they're hoping we'll all forget about.

Re: Terms and Phrases That Irritate Me.
Maybe this one doesn't bother others as much as it does me when
Mrs.yellerdawg uses it.... " Don't even go there " .......  and always... " irregardless" Now I 'never" pick on typoes and misspells and I am the worst, crippled hand typing or not.....but misspelled or not...I don't use and can't stand those two listed above, no matter the conversation, or irregardless of the subject matter, so don't even go there.  my 2 cents Last edited by yellerdawg; 05-21-2012 at 01:30 AM.. |

Re: Terms and Phrases That Irritate Me.
Things I hate to hear...
Didn't we park the car here? The sun isn't supposed to set in that direction. (when hiking) Did you hear that? (especially when camping after dark) Did you see that? (anytime in the woods) Do you smell something? Did you bring a map? Isn't that odd? Are they poisonous? Lock the doors, quick! Quick get your gun! I'm from the government and I'm here to help. Stop or we'll shoot. Daddy, I had an accident. Daddy, quess what? I thought you paid it. I guess we'll just have to ruff it. Oops.

24/7.
Axt, as in, "I axt him a question." Starting a sentence with, "I have some bad news" or "You're not going to like this..."

Re: Terms and Phrases That Irritate Me.
Oh no you di-int.
The word is didn't. Did-unt. Simple word. Got TWO - count 'em - TWO Ds in it. And no matter how well the person saying it normally speaks, when using this term they try their level best to sound like some ghetto mama. They pull their head back, like something smells bad, they look down their nose, they usually have a finger pointing up in the air and they wiggle it side to side as they say, "Oh No You Di-int".

Re: Terms and Phrases That Irritate Me.
Since we all seem to picking nits to some degree, let's add LIBARY to the list as well as the PITCHER that hangs on the wall. And on a different note, just how much carbon in the atmosphere is to much?

Re: Terms and Phrases That Irritate Me.
Since when did "Decimate" mean more than 10%?
Easy as pie? ( Ever baked one? ) Worked like a charm? ( Never had one work yet! ) And my fave "Military Intelligence"
