Words and phrases I hate

[Fuzzymittenbrewing]

I hate that too. I think I actually mentioned that a while back. I want to beat people when I hear or read nom, noms, or nom nom.
But, I must be honest. I also hate it when someone uses the term "grown ass man."
Other than that, you're okay in my book Fuzz.

Ha! I don't usually say that but noms tick me off that much!

"Cheer up! Somebody, somewhere is having a worse day than you!"

My response, "Well, that may be, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm still having a pretty sh!tty fooking day, now does it?!!!"

I absolutely hate that cliche phrase!

 

[lumpher]

"Poosh" - for push
"Pellow" - for pillow
"Worsh" - for wash
"Melk" - for milk

Ye haw, y'all, yins, honky tonk. I could go on. I was a city boy until I moved to southern ohio. I'm the only one who doesn't seem to speak this way, in these parts that there.

so if someone said "we had to worsh the melk out of the pellows so we could poosh them back where they belong", that would irritate you?

 

[MaxStout]

A new application of the term "out of pocket" finding its way into corporate speak, as a way of saying "unavailable." Example: "Eddie is out of pocket all this week."

I think most people normally use the term as "out of pocket expenses." If someone is unavailable, just say "unavailable."

 

[Shakybones]

Anyone mention "those ones" yet?

An offense worthy of defenestration.

 

[beaksnbeer]

Good Morning!...............................Nope just Morning if it was good I'd have a beer in my hand and wort starting to boil People that have no life outside of work.

[TxBrew]

I hate the use of ellipses ...

 

[BinghamtonEd]

I hate the use of ellipses ...

It's even worse when they're used with any number other than the appropriate 3 periods .....

 

[RedHotDias]

Nothing makes me more crazy than when my great and all powerful boss gives a speech about "I-deers at work". We will all come up with wonderful Ideers that help productivity and share those Ideers in group meetings where all Ideers can come together and live happy. That man makes quadruple what I do and he has to say "um" ever other word. Worst public speaker ever.

Tolerance & Intractability I hate it, it is used a lot at work in reference to the cultural diversity at work. Its funny because if an english major of meager intelligence hears an Engineer drop a ya'll bomb or place an (r) in the word wash, he is automatically branded a knuckle dragging troglodyte. The hippies, hipster's, & yuppies are the ones preaching tolerance with the coexist stickers on the back of there Subaru and Prius' right? The hypocrisy of unintelligent but yet educated scares me. I guess they have never read any Faulkner.

I hate knuckle dragging troglodyte as well, but I used it verbatim.

 

[CGVT]

I and myself used together in a sentence

As in "I myself try not to sound like an idiot when I speak or write" (Uh, too late)

I myself? WFT is that? How about just "I"

People that say this are probably the same people that say " See Bob or myself if you have any more questions".

They need to be in the coffee table book

Sigh

 

[Mozart]

Very unique.

 

[reinstone]

I hate it when a series of numbers is given and the middle is left out.....for example instead of saying ....I drink 5,6 or 7 nights a week or I drink 5 to 7 nights a week, I hate when someone says I drink 5 or 7 nights a week ....as if they never would drink 6 nights a week.

For some reason I hear 8 or 10 a lot. Really annoying!!!

I think those people who say they drink 8 or 10 nights a week are the ones who really have a drinking problem.

When I was in law school here (a hipster-rich environment, BTW), I had a classmate who was a transplant from NC, east Carolina drawl and all. Immediately, a number of students automatically assumed he was some kind of ignorant redneck. There were plenty of snide remarks about the "hillbilly from NC." It didn't take long for them to get schooled. During in-class discussions and debate, that guy from NC would run circles around most of us.

Not what I meant but funny

Good Morning!...............................Nope just Morning if it was good I'd have a beer in my hand and wort starting to boil People that have no life outside of work.

I have to agree. Just say "Morning" if you must greet me first thing. Not only am I likely not having a good morning, but the phrase "Good Morning" sounds like an incomplete question or else you are pushing your agenda of happiness on me, which I may not want. In fact, let's put the u into morning and call it what it is, mourning. Mourning the fact that it is, in fact, morning, and we are likely being verbally assaulted by some co-worker that feels the need to start the day off with a smile and a friendly greeting. D*cks.

 

[mbach72]

How about "acrossed?" Nope, it's just across.

Thats my second post in this thread. Theres more, but I'm stopping at two. It makes me wonder how many stupid things I say that make people want to punch me on the face.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

"We're pregnant!"

Unless you are a lesbian couple and both of you are pregnant, this is inaccurate. Your wife is pregnant. She is also the one "having a baby." You, sir, "have a child on the way" and "are about to become a father."

Whenever someone says "we're pregnant!" I want to yak.

 

[Shakybones]

Sorry, Creamy. #723

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Ooof, Creamy fail.

 

[CGVT]

Sorry, Creamy and Shakey #73

Some guy at work did it today which made me think about it. Wanted to hit him with a salmon.

I'm sorry y'all, but I love defenestration.
And I can't verbalize without "y'all".
Just sayin'.....

 

[Shakybones]

CGVT, I was just pointing to your most recent mention of the hated "we're preggers."

LAHammer, I don't hate defenestration. I just want to throw everyone out the window who ever says "those ones" in my presence.

I was just messing with you all. With over 800 posts in this thread there are bound to be repeats.

"We're pregnant" deserves numerous mentions due to its cringe inducing stupidity and "Irregardless" should be a daily mention for the same reason.

 

[gdbrewer]

My wife is 8 months pregnant with our second. She cannot stand when she hears someone, man or woman, say "we're pregnant", "preggerz", "bun in the oven", etc. Pretty much all of the cliche pregnancy sayings that have probably been mentioned in the last 800+ replies.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

"Creamy fail" ... too many bad connotations in those two words!

 

[WesleyS]

I agree with all the hate for preggo, preggers, and we're pregnant nonsense. We never used any of those when my wife was pregnant. I don't know if it irritates anyone else, but I also hate when women say "I'm with child" or someone says "she's with child" for being pregnant.
