Throwing up in my mouth is a 30 billion dollar industry

[Lizardqueen]

Ok. So here's the deal. All day long I hear phrases and code words which make me cringe. Today I pointed out that we must put an end to the phrase "I threw up a little in my mouth." I feel the need to have this thread so that as we go about our days and hear these trendy bits of nonsense, we will have a place to write them down and vent. I'm not done with jumped the shark, but for months have been switching out those words for synonyms. Ha-ha wicked funny. Please feel free to add your most despised phrases here. We can hate together.
Already mentioned were:
At the end of the day
24/7
step it up
step up (are these interchangeable?)
kick it up a notch
and God, if you wanna see the rest of 'em go here http://www.tvgasm.com/archives/industry/002145.php

[whawha]

get r done...
let's roll (made a comeback with that United 93 movie)
Mc-whatever (made possible by Grey's Anatomy and American Idol)

[deltoro]

man up

and is 'step up to the plate' the same as 'step up' or 'step it up'?? If I hear that one more time.......

You're fired!!

I know I'll think of more ... just let me have another glass of wine first.

[derder]

After much thought, I have decided I refuse to give up 24/7. No way, No how.

[Lizardqueen]

24/7 doesn't vex me. I'm willing to keep it. It's much catchier than "always".

[deltoro]

Deal or No Deal (kill me, kill me now).

[goodjobben]

Lizardqueen, thanks for the thread, we've really got to purge (how does "i just purged a little in my mouth" work for ya?) some of these phrases. the "threw up a little in my mouth" line must definitely be stopped though.
speaking of the donald with "___ billion dollar a year industry", although it's not a phrase, for the love of god stop with the jokes about his hair, i heard one on the radio today, they weren't even funny when the apprentice first came out. we get it, he has bad hair! not funny!
Deltoro, thankfully I haven't heard anyone say "deal or no deal" yet.

[ElectraGlide]

"That's what I'm talkin' about." Ugh.

[Lizardqueen]

"Deal or no deal" is the new "Is that your final answer?"

[sg-dub]

Nothing beats:

It is what it is.

I f'n HATE that one.

[HoneyBunny]

Whatever (usually accompained with a sigh and the eye roll)

Makes me want to bitch slap them!

[tvtvtv]

Nothing beats:

It is what it is.

SG-dub, did you see the Top Chef "It is what it is" montage?! If not, try to catch a re-run of the Reunion Show. It will blow your mind.

I heartily agree that reality TV contestants and hosts need to take a break from saying someone needs to "step up" or "bring it" or "bring their A-game."

I'd like to officially add the phrase "on board." (I myself need to quit saying it, too.)

And "who's your daddy?" should never be said again. Ever. Under any circumstances.

[Firecat]

Hmmm...Not sure what it is...but I'm not a fan of "Have a good one"....like when you are saying goodbye.

A good what? I don't get it.

[Mulv]

I hate it when people say they are going to "take it to the next level." Um, could you be more vague? Take what to the next level exactly? And, by the way, what the fuck is awaiting you, me and everyone else at this mystical "next level"? I get what they're trying (and failing) to communicate but jesus christ, get a fucking Thesaurus and figure out another way!

I also hate it when people say something completely inarticulate and then end it with, "...you know what I'm saying?" Um, no. No I fucking don't.

I completely agree that "whatever" is overused, but there's no way I could remove that word from my vocabulary at this point. It's just not possible.

[EdHill]

When people say "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum. " Oh man I HATE that!!

:)

[tvtvtv]

Whatever, it is what it is. At the end of the day, we all just really just need to step up, bring our A-game, and take it to the next level. Kick it up a notch, you know what I’m saying? I think everyone’s on board with this, so let’s roll. Have a good one. Peace out. And pass the EVOO.

[brutal youth]

I hate FIERCE. Tyra, girl, you ain't fierce- you foolish.

[deltoro]

Anything that Jonathan Antin says ... I'm sooo over him.

EdHill and tvtvtv, wine up the nose (twice) when I read your posts.

[copygodd]

don't go there.

no seriously, don't go there. it's dangerous.

[derder]

I like "don't go there"
and I like "Oh no he didn't" (fingerwave included).

[Lizardqueen]

EdHill, you obviously need to get your ass kicked. And watch "They Live" starring one Rowdy Roddy Piper.

[Lizardqueen]

I'm pretty over "I just spit (insert whatever beverage the speaker is drinking) all over my monitor". Liars.

[Hardly@Work]

This is my favorite thread so far. That's all, continue.

Oh, not sure if this counts but I hate hearing the taco bell guy scream "I'm full!"

[EdHill]

People who say "Thank you much". When did everyone just decide to drop the very?

[whawha]

People who say "Thank you much". When did everyone just decide to drop the very?


I'm hearing a lot of "thank you muchly" by those whimsical types that need a headbashing.

[ElectraGlide]

I hate when people say "utilize."

"Utilization" also sucks.

[derder]

I'm pretty over "I just spit (insert whatever beverage the speaker is drinking) all over my monitor". Liars.

Exactly-

[Franuary]

I remember that "same difference" bothered me a lot in middle school, but thankfully that one's not so popular anymore. At least not among people who aren't in junior high.

And "utilize" bugs me too, ElectraGlide. Why "utilize" when you can "use?" It's stupid.

[msCCRN]

OK I'm an old fart and new at this forum thing. But I find it annoying when people ask, "Where you at?" Instead of, "where are you?" It's the same amount of work to say it properly. (sigh) I guess I have become my mother.

[Tabby Lavalamp]

OMGLOLWTFROFL!!!!!!!111111one!!one!

The abbreviations are annoying enough by themselves, but the sarcastic ones are really wearing thin. When people have reached the point that they're actually spelling out "one", it's time to put that one to rest.

"Dumbed down."

I'm not seeing a lot out in the world, but this one board I'm on it's in every third post it seems, and it makes me want to scream.

"Honesty and integrity."

At least as far as reality game shows. It's a game! Lie your friggin' ass off! I bluff when I'm playing poker, but it doesn't carry over outside of the game. Really, you honest players dripping with integrity, get over yourselves.

I had more following BB6, like "own up to", but they've died down for now.

[Lizardqueen]

I just remembered how much I can't stand "on point" and it's twin sister "spot on". No one except Tim Gunn is allowed to say these. And he must do it with his wonderfuly erect posture and crisp aristocratic speech pattern.

[poor, dead shannon]

Happy Camper.

My most hated phrase in the English language. Probably all alone on this one, but when i hear someone say that i wince. and then throw up in my mouth a little.

PDS

[deltoro]

I like to say, "Thanks much." I got in the habit of doing so from playing endless hours of Animal Crossing on GameCube.

[susanarosa]

I use "where you at?" a lot, but I live in Detroit...

I hate "anyway" but only when Katie Couric uses it as a segue from segment to segment. It makes my mornings suck.

[monkeypeanut]

Any mention of "calling someone out" bugs me.
Also, the use of "chopping block".

I wish the the reality casts would come up with some new phrases.

In real life, I just never want to hear "a whole nother" again. Ever.

[becky_u]

Deal or No Deal (kill me, kill me now).


1st time poster, but I had to comment on this. One of my best friends just got engaged, as she was stammering from the surprise proposal, her now-fiance really said "Deal or No Deal".

Though I liked him when we met, it made me question her decision to marry this guy. Are you kidding me?? Deal or No Deal??? Give me a freaking break.

Please tell us she at least got a suitcase full of money out of the 'deal.'

[samynoodle]

Anyhoo ... It's not even shortening the word or some weird twist on it. If you're going to type the correct AMOUNT of letters, why can't you type the correct letters? And when people say "Y-ellow" instead of hello. I always feel like I should respond with "pink!" or "Puce."

[Lizardqueen]

How does anyone feel about "my bad"? Used when you make a mistake. I'm on the fence about it. It may be one of those things I want to be able to say, but I don't want to hear it. Narcissism rears it's ugly head at TVgasm. I'm going to not say this one for a while. Maybe pull it out in mixed company, see what happens.

[Truely]

hello to all...first time...be gentle:) okay, the phrase I can't stand, makes me cringe...and just a touch of oral barf is.....................anything over 100%!!

"I gave it 110%" etc...Bullshit...anytime I hear someone say it 100 plus anything as an effort..i proceed to root for their demise. Try your best, sure, no problem but giving it the extra 10%..in addition to all that can possibly be given...your an asshole and should go down in flames.

My 2 cents

[Lizardqueen]

Truely, I truly hate this. It's not only annoying, it's an impossibility. Especially when you are talking about feats of human accomplishment.

[poor, dead shannon]

My 2 cents

truely... i swear i was just having that arguement with some friends a few days ago. i hate it too. 100% is 100% people!!! if you gave your best, and say you gave a 110%, then you could only have been giving 90% originally!!!! good call truley.

LQ - personally, i use 'my bad' all the time. that one would be very difficult to give up. that and cooter.

LQ, my husband used to say "My Bag" instead. He seriously thought that was the saying.


I have so many that annoy me. Most have been mentioned here. But I know I'm guilty of it also. My word is Totally!


Damn it. I'm 36 years old and I should be like totally able to give that up.

[tvtvtv]

LQ, my husband used to say "My Bag" instead. He seriously thought that was the saying.

That is hilarious!

I just want to note that my most unfavoritest - "Who's your daddy?" - is being used on the blog right now. Why, why, why?

[whawha]

Oops! Meant to quote someone else. MY BAG!

[jennilicious]

A lady in my office says, every day when she's leaving, "Hasta la bye bye". I've heard someone else say it, so I don't think she made it up, but it makes me want to punch her in the neck. It's really awful.

That's like straight out of Office Space when that lady keeps saying "Looks like somebody's got a case of the Mondays."

God, that movie is awesome.

Moving on, I cringe when people say "everything happens for a reason." What kind of bullshit is that? Is that supposed to make me feel better about something crappy happening to me? Oh hell to the no.

[Lizardqueen]

What about "Well, to be perfectly honest..." No. Lie to me. Please. It's better that way.

[samynoodle]

What about "Well, to be perfectly honest..." No. Lie to me. Please. It's better that way.


In the same thread I hate when people start a statement with " Not to be whatever but.... " What the hell does that mean? You're clearly not going to say something nice so don't appologize for it before hand and pick an adjective.

[Lizardqueen]

jennilicious, no one deserves a punch in the throat more than that lady. No offense, but, that was the dumbest thing I've heard in weeks. Really. Not to sound like a bitch, but, um, she's a freak.

[southernbelle]

i actively hate the "git 'er done" line too, so kudos to whoever mentioned that one. Good grammar is a lost art a lot of the time. :(

You know what else I hate? the usage of "Holla!" as either a greeting, or a statement of agreement. it's So annoying.

[Pekmboyd]

A vendor of ours at work actually responded to an email with the words "Cool beans" - bad enough she said it / typed it, but to a business client???

And my all time most HATED saying EVER: "You know what it means when you assume (annoying wink-type look) you make an ass out of you and me!!!" and God knows every person that says it thinks they're SO freakin' smart. We get it. It's spelled ass u m e. Get over it.

[samynoodle]

[QUOTE=Pekmboyd]A vendor of ours at work actually responded to an email with the words "Cool beans" - bad enough she said it / typed it, but to a business client???[QUOTE]

I couldn't agree with you more on that one. My mother is a notorious user of that phrase. So much so they started calling her JoJo Bean at work. Ugh.

[brutal youth]

I've been told I say " Awh Maaannn" to an annoying extent when anything in general happens to go wrong. I've been trying to quit, but it's my general euphemism for sh** F***ing c***s**er balls!@!%$.. It's a tough one to kick.

I also have a thirteen year old brother who is convinced that "ownage" is the totally KEWLEST awesom-o made up word like ever.

[Lizardqueen]

And my all time most HATED saying EVER: "You know what it means when you assume (annoying wink-type look) you make an ass out of you and me!!!" and God knows every person that says it thinks they're SO freakin' smart. We get it. It's spelled ass u m e. Get over it.

This one is so stupid. I always say "Speak for yourself, asswipe. When you make assumptions you make an ass out of yourself, not me."

Dude. Chillax.

Just take one for the team. And just take it one day at a time.

[Madam Pomfrey]

Things I wish I could stop saying-

Gee whiz!

Goodness Gracious!

Oh, my word!

Wowie Zowie!

Jiminy Cricket!

Writing those out and realizing how stupid they are makes me cringe. Could I BE more annoying?;)


Oh, I'm totally using the Hasta la Bye Bye next time I get the chance!!

[deltoro]

LQ, my husband used to say "My Bag" instead. He seriously thought that was the saying.

Madam, when I first read your story, I thought it was hysterical, so I decided to share it with my family. I now hear "my bag" no less than twice a day from my children. Seriously, I think they do the wrong thing just so they can say it.

[BSL]

Ohh, I HATE it when people say, "I could care less." THAT MEANS YOU FUCKING CARE!!!! People on reality shows are always messing that one up.

I also hate it when people say "expecially" instead of "especially."

[Lizardqueen]

Would anyone care for an EXPRESSO? No seriously. I work in a flippin' coffee bar and I still call it EXPRESSO. I own a Starbuck's, but I don't know that it's not called EXPRESSO.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

LQ - I thought I couldn't love you more, than I found this gem of a thread and I'm throwing hearts at ya (btw, that was meant to be obnoxious) The name of this thread - perfection! I am beyond tired of the image of people with mouths full of bile. ick ugh yuck

You guys have hit on some of the things that annoy me the most - gosh you really ARE my people!
It Is What It Is no shit sherlock, what else would it be?

Irregardless - um..that's not a word!

Underwhelmed - this one leaves me just...whelmed

Wazzup, Wassupp or any variation Like nails on a chalkboard

Gurl, kewl, skillz - words fail me

[msCCRN]

Oh B-Side Lover and LQ you have hit on two of my pet peeves. So let's add people who spell "definitely" with an "A"! I may as well get another dig in cuz I saw a post where The_Svan spelled it definately--tee hee.:p

[Mulv]

I also hate it when people say "expecially" instead of "especially."

I'm with you on that one. I also hate it when people mispronounce the "th" sound as an "ff" sound.

Example: Chris Tucker to Jackie Chan or whoever in Rush Hour - "Can you understand the words that are coming out of my mouff?"

I don't know, Chris. First you'll have to point to where your "mouff" is located. Dipshit.

P. Diddy does this a lot too. It's one of the many reasons I hate him.

[Miss Lippy]

Anyone said "That's hot" yet?? Can't stand that one.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

I may as well get another dig in cuz I saw a post where The_Svan spelled it definately--tee hee.:p

hehe... nice msCCRN :p

I'm starting to see a trend here - and I'm liking it. Or should I say - The Tink likes it? Ok, no, talking about myself in third person is just weird.

[tati]

some really funny stuff on this thread!

well, one of my verbal pet peeves is Bling, Bling in reference to diamonds or shiny teeth or whatever it's supposed to stand for, it's TACKY!! And dumb, something a li'l kid might use to describe something shiny. Then again, a baby could utter a better description than that! Worse still is that a lot of respectable media sources have started to use it, i guess, as an attempt to be cool & appeal to the young masses. Now i come across this lame expression in places like 20/20 or MSNBC & I think i saw it once in the NYT (well, maybe not) but i've definitely seen it in bigger media outlets. Dumb.

I'm also not a fan of 'it is what it is' or similarly, 'A man is a man is a man' ---eek, shivers! As if by saying it three times, you'll get what they're talking about. I GET it! NYT had a brief article recently on 'it is what it is' and how it's similar to 'I am what I am' (Popeye's famous phrase) or phrases like 'a fact is a fact' or 'we'll get it done when we get it done', etc. For some reason, those sayings don't bother me as much as 'it is what it is', maybe b/c this saying dsn't clear up anything, dsn't describe anything---WHAT is what it is?? what are u talking about???:confused:

[samynoodle]

I hate when people leave out " to be" in their sentences. My friends that are actually from Pittsburgh are notorious for doing this (my mom included). They say things like, "My hair needs cut" or "the car needs washed". No, it needs to be cut and it needs to be washed.

Samynoodle, I know exactly what you mean! My husband's family from New Jersey has annoying idiosyncrasies like that. They always put "quick" in front of their verb.

"I'm going to quick wash the car." "Let's quick run to the store."

[TinkerbellAPixie]

In Chicago they tend to drop words... like they might ask "Do you wanna go with?" "Wanna come with?" With WHO?

[Pekmboyd]

Similarly, my sisters who grew up in Hawaii used to say "I'm going mall" or "I'm going movies" - NO, you are going TO THE mall, "mall" is not a verb. They don't do this much anymore so I don't know if it was an age thing or a regional thing or a combination of both.

[palmtree]

I don't like hearing "screwed the pooch" The first time I heard that I freaked; thought someone had committed a felony. It's just as easy to say oh, they messed up. I just picture a poor cute puppy being violated.

I'm also tired of "my bad" my sister says it all the time. And now thanks to Hurly I'm saying Dude a lot now. Hubby not to thrilled with that!

[Lizardqueen]

I wish people would stop seeking "closure". It's annoying.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

I had an old boss - very crude man, never quite got the grasp of being politically correct. Anytime anyone did anything slower than he would like he would comment "You do ____ slower than old people fuck". I used to cringe every time he said it. But that was years ago....until..

Today waiting for the elevator to go to work, some guy was on the cell phone whining about how slow the elevators are and you can guess how he phrased it. sheesh.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

OOOH just had another one on the phone with a friend who said he was heading up to Hotlanta, which reminded me of Cashville and Hollyweird.

I'm originally from Pittsburgh and I SO do that (and never realized). Ugh. :o

What drives me INSANE:

People over the age of 12 that use "kewl" or "coolies" or any stupid-ass variation of the word cool. It makes me want to immediately punch someone in the mouth.

And the woman who says "hasta la bye bye" doesn't deserve to be in the gene pool.

[amy303_1/2]

I really don't like it when people say chill. take a chill pill, or on just about any MTV show they describe beople as chill. He is so chill, we are just chill. Or I am just chillin, I'm so chill. OMG I HATE IT!!!:cool: <-chill

[TinkerbellAPixie]

Having just visited that site - Annalytical, that B-side recommended. And right off the first page there were two things that just grateeeeeeeee on my nerves.

For Reals
Thank you Muchly

Nuff...said!

[jampony]

I'm getting really bothered by "welcome to my world". It's not so bad when you're sharing a funny anecdote or story, but when you're talking about something serious that's going on in your life and that's the reply you get from the egomaniac you're talking to, it's sort of hurtful and kind of belittling. Drives me crazy!

[jampony]

A vendor of ours at work actually responded to an email with the words "Cool beans" - bad enough she said it / typed it, but to a business client???

I actually like "cool beans" but only because my very first boyfriend ever used to say it and he was totally the bees knees and ever so dreamy. ;) He also used to say "sew a button on your underwear" because I had a habid of always saying "so" to anything he would say that I didn't have an intellgent answer for (Him: you know you really shouldn't drink peach schnopps with MGD and vodka. It's probably not good for you. Me: So!) Or sometimes he would say "so, so, suck your toe, all the way to Mexico". We were very mature.

[Lizardqueen]

This may have already been said, but people are still saying it, it annoys me, and I'm too lazy to read through all the previous posts. This is said by idiots who can't think of anything relevant or clever to say. These same people are also always throwing up in their mouths a little bit.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

These same people are also always throwing up in their mouths a little bit.

With this epidemic of people walking around with bile in their mouths you really need to be careful about who you decide to kiss. :eek:

[chick110]

You know what I don't like/don't get? When people randomly capitalize letters. They are always doing this on MySpace. ie "KaTiE"

Probably because there are about a million Katies out there so this is how they can be different from THAT Katie. Kinda like I had 109 chicks before me to pick out the name chick...

[angiemarie]

I despise when people say axe, instead of ask. Example "I'm axing you a question!" It sounds so awful like attempted murder or something.


Another example of poor Pittsburgh grammar is yinz. It's a plural form of you. Example "Are yinz going to the Steeler game?". (And Steeler is pronounce "stiller" for some reason.) It makes my ears hurt!

Ah yes, how could I forget. So to put it in use in a sentence:

Tough to abandon douche or tool, seeing how descriptive they are. I haven't thrown them out (yet), but it makes me smile every time I see either of them.

Hey, I kind of like this..
so bullshit will be "svanage" (as in, "what a bunch of svanage")

and

asshole or dickhead can be just simply "svan" (as in "what a svan")

Having been on the receiving end of some Svanage... me likey :)

A couple phrases that are growing old with me are - the "honest truth"... isn't truth based off honesty? Please, I want to be told the dishonest truth this time. When people start a sentence with "quite frankly" I immediately tune out. Finally there is the usage of this non-word: irregardless.
I have a hard time even typing it. It just makes me cringe.

[HoneyBunny]

Whenever my Grandma was going to snark on someone she would start by saying:
"God love 'em, bless their heart, but..."


My (bunny) ears always perked up coz that woman could snark!

My sister said "irregardless" about 5 times today. I was ready to throw the phone out the window if she said it one more time.

I'm getting tired of people accidentally making up their own words. Like flustrated or dramastic.

Oh, and sorry to those of you who say this but I can't stand "that being said" or "that said" any more. Especially when it's used incorrectly. Some stupid British guy on TV starts saying it and it becomes a national craze.

And it's "taken aback" not "taken back".

[Pekmboyd]

what about "I could care less"....well if you could, then you DO care...which is the opposite of what you're trying to say - it's "I couldn't care less" people!

[jampony]

I know... that one drives me nuts, too. Although every so often I would get confused about which way it should be. But a very helpful episode of "Friends" (the one with Ross and Russ) cleared that right up for me. "I could not care less. I could try, but I would not succeed."

Another one (which, in all honesty, still kind of confuses me) is "I couldn't give a shit" vs. "I could give a shit". I'm not sure which it should even be (I'm constipated vs. I want to crap on you?) so I just avoid the phrase altogether. And when other people use it, I just nod knowingly.

:eek: Yup, I'm with ya on that one!! Drives me crazy & i see it A LOT, all over the 'net & newspprs---what annoys me about it is how it usually prefaces a whole bunch of statemnts that usually offer the opposite opinion---it's almost as if u're inserting 'disclaimer' into ur sentence. annoying. in the words of my Irish high school English teacher, "Just say what u mean & mean what u say!"

Some that bug me - some mentioned already:

My bad
I "SO"want to ....fill in the blank - getting old
Closure - That's a good one get sooo sick of that. Well at least they'll get some closure.

My mom hates it when people say irregardless.
I used to have a boyfriend years ago that would say "baving suit" for bathing suit. We were like 17!!!! Shit!

Not sure if this has been covered, but I am very tired of the abuse of the word "respect." You see people on shows like the Real World constantly talking about how so-and-so is not "respecting" them, or the damn teenagers on the talk shows bitching that the reason they are delinquents is because their parents don't show them any "respect." Or how about the overused mantra "you have to respect yourself before blah, blah, blah..." Not saying the last one is bad or not true, it's just tired like the rest of them. The last I heard, respect is earned, no one is entitled to it. But now if you're in a bar and you accidentally run into someone & spill their drink, it becomes a matter of "disrespect." What the fuhhh???:mad:

[jampony]

in the words of my Irish high school English teacher, "Just say what u mean & mean what u say!"
I'm not making fun of you but this sentence made me laugh. If my English teacher wrote like that, I'd have reported her to the Board of Education! :D

I figure this is the only place I can say this and be lovingly judged for it.....

I broke up with my boyfriend over the weekend (moved out, cat and all) and it was a really tough decision but it had to be done. Of course he was understandably upset and shocked and was grasping for things to say (he'd go from totally upset and crying to manic). In his manic states he kept on screaming at me "This is happening" -the statement form not the question- and clapping his hands together and then doing that magician/jazz hands thing. I can't even begin to explain how annoying it was.

The fact that you hung in there for 4 years with a man who doesn't understand the love of the tube and the need to express that love to others amazes me.

It's one of my top 5 requirements...somewhere between no visible open sores and the ability to conjugate verbs.

Isn't it funny how quickly someone can go from endearing to frickin' annoying so damn quick? Jazz hands, love it. Hang in there girl!

[zoobabe]

sorry samy- but if he doesn't understand your love of TV, there was no hope for a future. Now you can move on to bigger screens and better men. It takes time, but you'll be OK.

That drives me nuts too, BSL.

In keeping with the theme of people trying to make themselves sound smarter, I also hate the trend of adding "and whatnot" to the end of every sentence. It's just a fancy way of saying "and stuff." If you have nothing better to say than "and stuff" then just say it, instead of trying to cover up the fact that you're just talking for the sake of talking by saying something that sounds highbrow. "and whatnot" was huge here a few years ago, but it seems to have died down, thank god. I can feel my teeth clenching just thinking about it.

[thatswhack]

LIKE OMG! and "after the jump"

i've read these phrases way to much in the recaps. it's like every other laguna beach/the hills recap has the LIKE OMG! thing. :glare:

[thatswhack]

question: has anyone heard phrases like "rag me" and "sound my hoot?"

[bevo]

Nothing beats:

It is what it is.

I f'n HATE that one.

"It is what it is" definitely needs to go away. Shut up, Danielle!

Not sure if this has been covered, but I am very tired of the abuse of the word "respect." You see people on shows like the Real World constantly talking about how so-and-so is not "respecting" them...

I agree, and the same thing with "integrity." So many reality show peeps use this one. You're on a freakin game show! Stop saying you have integrity what you clearly mean is you are a hypocritical asshole and everyone else should play with integrity except you.

[HoneyBunny]

"Game On"...

Unless you are truly going to kick some serious ass...STOP saying this!

question: has anyone heard phrases like "rag me" and "sound my hoot?"

no, TW, what do they mean? are they a generational thing, some'in the 25 & under crowd mite know (that rules me out!) or a local thing? They sound a bit corny, at least when u read 'em, but maybe if u hear some1 say it, they're not as bad?

i guess i can figure out 'rag me' as in, 'don't rag on me'? 'sound my hoot' I don't really get at all. Too much lingo, can't keep up!

[Clair]

I went to urbandictionary.com for 'sound my hoot' but it wasn't listed. Soundgasm, however, was listed.

[thatswhack]

thanks. some person in another forum used them. and when i made fun of him/her for using those phrases (because i have never heard of them before), he/she got all defensive. i just needed a second, third, fourth opinion.

i'm going to claim victory now.

[chick110]

When you find out what they mean, please come back and tell us, now I wanna know!! ;)

[2mville]

I'm with you on that one. I also hate it when people mispronounce the "th" sound as an "ff" sound.

On my local news once the news lady announced somebody's birFday.
I thought I heard it wrong but she said it AGAIN!

This happened in the 1980's so I've obviously never gotten over it. She is still on the local news, too!

[2mville]

Whenever my Grandma was going to snark on someone she would start by saying:
"God love 'em, bless their heart, but..."

I used to work w/ a lady who did that. She would say, "I'm not tryin' to talk about her cuz I love her. [insert insult here].
She was the sweetest little lady, too, so it was hilarious to hear her do that.

[ObstinantGirl]

On reality shows (particularly shows like The Bachelor/ette, the infamous "connection" confessionals:

-"I could tell that we had a connection right away."
-"I can't believe he didn't give me a rose, I thought we'd made a connection."
-"She has everything I'm looking for in a woman, and I feel a connection to her."

[samynoodle]

I tend to slip into sorority girl speak when i'm frustrated and I always say " Not to be whatever but...." I don't even know what the hell it actually means but there it is pouring out of my mouth.


Oh and back to the exboyf "this is happening" rant, I finally figured out where it came from...Anchorman when Jack Black kicks Baxter over the bridge. I can't watch that movie any more.

[Mulv]

I would sort of like to reclaim the titular saying of this post. I got home from a party tonight and was still a little tipsy. While I was getting ready for bed, I definitely threw up a little in my mouth and I thought, huh, that was weird. Just saying. It happens and sometimes it needs to be commented on.

[Tabby Lavalamp]

I just threw up a little in my mouth because I thought this thread was dead.

That's how I like the saying most, when it's forced into a sentence like that. :)

[bevo]

BB7 has inspired a lot of hated phrases:

- within the context of this game
- throw me/you/him/her under the bus
- showmance
- homance
- flirtmance

And because they can't be mentioned enough:

- it is what it is
- at the end of the day

[Pattijoretired]

I just had to say this about I just threw up in my mouth. My husband says I just vurped. Because when you throw up in your mouth it is kind of like a burp only with throw-up in it.

I hate MY BAD the kids at school use it all the time when they get in trouble for something they know they aren't suppose to be doing.

I am form Texas and I hate how they add "in" to the end of everything instead of useing "ing".
EX: I am fixin to, I'm goin to the store. I was Laghin so hard.
Come on People use the "ing" sound.
I also hate "I am fixin to" in general becuse what are you fixin?

[Lizardqueen]

This one is right up there with "expresso". Can we talk about people who order a "sherbert" at an ice cream parlor? Please, this has to stop. It's sherbet. No ert. Just an et. Perhaps the blantant mispronunciation has caused sherbert to be an acceptable form. I find this acceptance unacceptable.

[whawha]

All commentators have a habit of saying stuff like: "When he's (fill in the blank), he's as good as anybody in the game." I would hope so. Because that means he's average.

This one is right up there with "expresso". Can we talk about people who order a "sherbert" at an ice cream parlor? Please, this has to stop. It's sherbet. No ert. Just an et. Perhaps the blantant mispronunciation has caused sherbert to be an acceptable form. I find this acceptance unacceptable.
LQ, you're my hero. Part of my job is designing programs (which includes a menu) for events we have and every time we have sherbet for dessert I have to argue with everyone about how it's spelled. I always win. Hell, since I'm the last person to see the program before it goes to print I could say we're having boogers and toad poo for dessert and nobody would be able to do anything about it. :devil:

Stop being so obstinant. Both terms are acceptable (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=sherbert&x=26&y=21):

also sher·bert A frozen dessert made primarily of fruit juice, sugar, and water, and also containing milk, egg white, or gelatin.
They're obviously wrong.

Now what isn't acceptable? People who like fruit in their ice cream. Those people are hideous.
New York Cherry ice cream... dee-lish. Chocolate ice cream with hot fudge and a ton of maraschino cherries... yummy!

Overused words and phrases:

"I'm not here to make friends" by every reality tv villian.

"Awesome" by everyone, everywhere but mostly by my daughter who uses it about thirty times a day.

Just venting. Anyone else sick of hearing something?

Sorry Jasmine, no offense intended. I just wish my daughter would choose another word, and then I got an email with a section titled "Awesome Add-ons" and I just got annoyed.

Anyway, awesome means something that fills you with awe, and while I know YOU are awesome, many of the things described of as awesome just...aren't.

I just received this email - which goes to show - people don't proof what they send out. This went firmwide.

As we all know our firm continues to grow and with the growth we are experiencing a storage of employee mail boxes. To resolve the shortage of mail boxes, we will be consolidating partner mailboxes into their executive assistance mailbox. The executive assistance will distribute the partners' mail to them.

Now I realize I'm in a pesky mood this week - but stuff like that is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

I am bumping this thread because the "Stupid Things People Say" thread reminded me of this thread. And last night when I was watching BB, I was repeatedly reminded that it is time for people to stop using "period" when talking. Daniele uses it WAAYYYY too much. For example, "Jessica is no use to us anymore, period. She and Eric have too much power, so we need to get them out. Period." It's annoying as hell, and I am ready for people to retire this idiotic speech pattern. Period. End of story.

[LonnaSaur]

This isn't a common one, at least I hope it's not, but I am sick of anyway because my boss says it ALL the time:

Noodle.

As in, "Let's noodle around with this idea and see what we come up with."

Or: "This is what I'm thinking but feel free to noodle around and see if there's a better way."

I don't know why, but I really hate it when he says it. Besides, for some reason, it sounds a little gross. Maybe even semi-obscene.

He also keeps something he calls "The Noodler File." Ew. I don't know why, but ew.

wouldn't that be "psych" - as in psyched out??

Or selling her under the bus. Remember that was used a lot during the earlier days of BB8.

I know we have complained about this before - but "it is what it is" makes me insane. I am not sure why that has become THE thing to say on reality shows, in meetings, even heard it on the news recently. Of course it fucking is what it is. UGH.

Oh yeah, and I hate when people say, "Can I ask you a question?" I typically respond, "No" or "yeah, you just did!" because I think it's really fucking stupid to start out a conversation that way. Just say what you're gonna say, or don't say it!

Also, I hate when people say, "Anyways..." because first of all, it's irritating and second of all, anyways isn't a word. Anyway is a word, and it is still a moronic way to begin a sentence.

Yes I kept them! I love to go back and read them... it's kind of funny to see what we considered to be the end of the world back then. Remember when there were no bills, or dead end jobs, or cars that break down? It was a travesty if the boy you liked liked someone else. Oh the horror. It's also fun to figure out who we were talking about because 90% of the notes are in code-- we never used anyone's real names-- we were pretty smart cookies! lol :rolleyes:

This is more grammar and spelling than overused expressions, but I hate when people mix up "lose" and "loose"

And when you make a mistake, is it "oops" or "opps" b/c I swear to goodness I'm the only person I know that spells it "oops" -- maybe I'm wrong but that is the phonetic way to spell it I would think.

I also can't stand when people get there, their, and they're mixed up. :glare:
