What expressions drive you nuts?

Any tired sayings you would be happy never hearing again?

My #1 would be "Get 'er done"...that redneck comedian started it. Everyone says it in Missouri. It drives me CRAZY!!!

Please share...let us come together and complain.

"What goes around, comes around". I could go the rest of my life without hearing that one.

I hate when people call Wednesday "hump day". That brings a yucky image to my brain each time I hear it...and it makes me think about how far away the weekend is!

Posted: **Fri May 20, 2005 9:42 am**

I dunno. I kinda like Topless Tuesdays.

Actually, anyone finishing a sentence, declaritive statement, or question with "dawg" or "G"

Posted: **Fri May 20, 2005 9:48 am**

good one wolverine....or "cuz"...good lord...I hate that. unless, of course....you are my cuz...that would be okay then.

'At the end of the day' and '24/7' bug the heck out of me, but I absolutelu LOATHE 'Minger' and 'Minging'! They are just the grossest words with the grossest meanings! They always make me think of Big Brother's Jade as she whines "ewwww....am I minging??" and my reply would always be "Yes dear, you are!" :rolleyes:

Conspiracy theory, innit, know what I mean? Smegheads.

"...and in conclusion I would like to say...". You know you are in for another 15 minutes, at least.

#1..Whatever.

#2..Know what i mean.

#3..At the end of the day.

Most euphemisms spoken in the English Midlands dialect in general, and "ayer gorra rubba?" in particular, which must be the most off-putting advance I've ever had used on me after a long night out.

"let's bounce"

Makes me crazy too I think Minks Jr. knows this that is why she uses it ... always

Posted: **Fri May 20, 2005 11:45 am**

Yeah, I agree with Abbey, I don't like "whatever" You know what I mean?

Later!

"i pay your $%#@;mother^*(%$#@ SALARY"!! and "but officer, that's not MY crack pipe". then there's "i have only had two beers". right.

Posted: **Fri May 20, 2005 11:53 am**

double negatives get on my nerves

nucular instead of nuclear

axed instead of asked

orientated instead of oriented

I know these aren't expressions but they bug the tar out of me

my daughter has some prime expressions and knows not to use them in front of me so I won't be sharing them

lady cop wrote: "i pay your $%#@;mother^*(%$#@ SALARY"!!

lol. "Then give me a raise for having to deal with jerks like you!"

and "but officer, that's not MY crack pipe".

It is now! LOL!

then there's "i have only had two beers". right.

You know, If I ever got busted for DUI, which I wouldn't, but if I did, I think I'd say...."I've only had 3.265 beers!" Just to give the cop a laugh. :wah:

Posted: **Fri May 20, 2005 12:09 pm**

Texted.

Those ones.

The above REALLY, REALLY annoy me. :-5

I had 6 beers over 4 hours along with nachos when I was stopped at a DWI checkpoint. The cop asked if I had been drinking - I said - "Oh hell yes". He asked how much and I told him 6 beers in 4 hours. He asked if I was on my way home - I said yes - he let me go saying he had appreciated my honesty.

Posted: **Fri May 20, 2005 12:12 pm**

I don't like it when the kids call me, "Yo dude!"

I tell them, "That's Mr. Dude to you!"

"Peace out."

HATE that!! I use the peace "sign" all the time, I have peace signs everywhere, (I think I was born about 30 years too late), but that saying just makes my teeth itch.

no, "back in '42" actually means something. 'back in the day' - you mean, this morning??

Ack spelt is a grain, and I hate when it is used in place of spelled.

I am tired of hearing traffic reporters say that a car crashed into the

center "divide". It's DIVIDER you dolt.

Or saying somebody got a bad RAP for something it's REP as in

REPUTATION. Yes, a person can have a RAP SHEET but the other is

different.

Really tired of hearing "Butt naked" although it IS preferable to what

it originally was and that meaning but how about "STARK naked"?

:-5

Posted: **Fri May 20, 2005 8:04 pm**

I love semantics!!

Posted: **Fri May 20, 2005 9:47 pm**

"Thats Hot"....Paris Hilton's phrase. I get so tired of hearing that.

I've always hated, "my bad" too. Makes the person sound retarded as well as screwing up whatever they did.

* " at the end of the day"

* " no worries " (Aussie thing)

* " quick sticks"

* " random"

* " I of course I'm there/here you halfwit. I usually reply with "no, I'm not here but if you would like to leave a message I'll respond in real time."
