Phrases that need to die a quick, excruciating death

[JonM]

Kids seem to like to use "ratchet" as a pejorative, which makes no sense. All I picture is this:

 

[sandyeggoxj]

it goes with out saying, if I can be honest, that I personally feel the ultimate life hack is YOLO. to be fair, it's generational to think outside the box and gift someone an app. I know, right? seriously? it may or may not be a reach out, but I got news for you. :hashtag:YOLO, yo.

Annnnnnnd the thread has been summarily mocked while simultaneously being summed up. Nice work.

 

[Black Island Brewer]

I know, right?

 

[jamespz03]

I don't get when people start out their sentence or response to you with, "Yes. No."

Which is it?

 

[johnthemann]

OK Im new here but here is some **** that drives me crazy

"Lets have a conversation"
"Getting push back"
"reach out"
the way overused "absolutely"...and how about this one "not my gig"

Lets not even get into up talk.

 

[wilserbrewer]

Maybe some of these are regional...but I really despise....

"not for nothing"

wtf is that?

 

[soccerdad]

So you guys need to be aware ... I shoot people that begin a sentence with 'so.'

 

[Black Island Brewer]

One I want to die a long, slow, excruciating death is "moving forward". As in "We've been all effed up in what we've done so far, but moving forward we'll probably eff up in a whole new way."

 

[Black Island Brewer]

It's not exactly a phrase, but it is an effing lazy way to communicate that drives me nuts:

"+1"

Especially if it's the only effing thing you had to contribute.

 

[BigJack]

Any internet link containing the words "one weird trick" should be obliterated.

+1 totes agree, it's like super annoying

I get pretty combative when I hear this too. That's the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread.

 

[sandyeggoxj]

Ok, so, here is the earth. Pretty nice earth eh?

 

[JonM]

Any internet link containing the words "one weird trick" should be obliterated.

And anything that is "Shocking!!!" or things that "You won't believe ..."

 

[illinoisbrassman]

At work someone created a spreadsheet to randomly generate a BINGO card with all the catch phrases commonly used in the daily supply chain meeting. After a couple weeks, there were about 20 of these secret "supply chain bingo" cards around the room. Then one day someone let a "Bingo" slip out and the fun was quickly over. Fortunately that person did not jump out of their chair, and I managed not to shoot coffee out my nose.

 

[MaxStout]

People who use the flip response, "whatever." Usually comes out like "what-EV-errrr." Bad enough hearing teens say it; I now hear 40-something adults using it. Always females. The day I hear a guy say it, I will personally revoke his man-card on the spot. :rockin:

And hearing young, professional women talk in that creaky vocal fry.

 

[number40fan]

"That's what I was thinking." After coming up to me and asking how to complete a task. Then why are you asking me.

"Huh?" Before I even finish my sentence. Yet, if I wait for a few seconds, I'll get the response I was asking for. This took way too long for me to figure out. I don't know how many times I have repeated myself with someone standing right in front of me. There was a short time that I started all of my sentences out with "I said...." because after all of the repeating, I figured I would just start with the repeat first.

"I know, right?" I don't know if you know, but my guess is you don't.

 

[marckw]

I FIGURATIVELY want to kill people who misuse the word LITERALLY!

 

[wardens355]

"It's great experience". One of my bosses says this whenever someone is assigned to a crappy, meaningless task.

 

[number40fan]

I'd be scared if you had said that you literally wanted too, but since it is just figuratively.....nah.

 

[Dan]

I think I've used most of the phrases posted. Ya know. Been there, done that. 😜

 

[Black Island Brewer]

Okay, I got three more:
Man card
Man cave
Swmbo

Dudes need to grow a pair and just be a man without needing a card, a cave, or a scapegoat.

 

[smcinco]

freedom isn't free

 

[jamespz03]

Take away's.

 

[W0GWT]

Ok, so, here is the earth. Pretty nice earth eh?

ROUND!
Ahh, motherland!!!

 

[cfonnes]

"All I know is"

If that is all that you know how the hell do you get out of bed in the morning?

 

[cfonnes]

Isn't quick and excruciating a contradiction?

I smashed a finger nail 1 1/2 weeks ago. Most of it was falling off but about 1/8 inch was still connected on one side. Today I used some needle nose pliers to pull if off. That was quick and excruciating.

 

[JonM]

"All I know is"

Alt: Alls I know is ...

 

[Calichusetts]

No offense...

Often followed by something racist, ignorant, sexist, or a personal attack with no constructive part of a conversation in sight. People act like its a get out of jail free card that allows them to be pricks.

 

[TheCADJockey]

So you guys need to be aware ... I shoot people that begin a sentence with 'so.'

I enjoy talking with people that end a sentence with "so...". When they do it I'll just stare at them sipping coffee waiting for them to continue. Might as well make it awkward.

One of my friends also likes to ask me how my day was while we are having a beer and proceed to respond with, "huh?" after I have told my story. Quite often, he'll do it multiple times in a row in which case I change the story each time throwing in unicorns and goblins.
