All day long. This one I have found more and more annoying as more people use it.

As in: I can get fifty bucks for that all day long.
 
And the saying is even worse when people talk sports. "I'll take the patriots to win all day long". As if a fan is gonna give up on their team at noon.
 
"Not so much" or "Like, right?"

"These people are cute! Those ones? Not so much........like, right?"

Like no, go die.
 
Kreemy, I thought of you today when the paper delivery guy came in with a black shirt with massive white block letters stating "COOL STORY BRO". If we ever do a swap that shirt is going in the box ;)
 
I hate literally when used in place of figuratively. Also YOLO, and anything pluralized that shouldn't be: ex. "yous guys", and "anyways"

Well then you, sir, would hate Chicago. Every last one of my Uncles, Cousins and Friends all say yous and Jewels (grocery store) gratuitously.

FUNNY Story.

My brother in law, good enough guy, says "old school" all the time. So we are driving down an old road with trees on either side.

He says "Look You all! Through the trees there you can see this old-school.......well.....it's an old....school.

Indeed it was an old falling down school house. I found it pretty damned funny at the time that his brain deemed it necessary to qualify an old school as "old-school" ;).
 
I hate it when a reporter or a so-called "journalist" asks someone how they feel. As in "Mr. Sheriff you fired a deputy due to his severely beating a prisoner who was hancuffed to the bench & unable to defend himself, the entire incident caught on video; then somone reviews the firing, and reinstates the deputy...
How does that make you feel?"

I'll bet Walter Cronkite never once, in all his career, ever said "how does that make you feel" during any interview he ever conducted. Now most of the reporters & anchors all want to be "personalities" rather than just report the news. If I want commentary, I'll turn on golf; otherwise anchors & reporters shouldn't comment on the news, they should just report it. The audience is fully capable of forming their own opinions.
OK, that's my "Rant du Jour." Regards, GF.
 
Or even worse - the latest trend in "news" where they incorporate social media posts into the report. Just because someone tweeted a hash-tag or posted a comment on a Facebook page does not make them a valid source or an expert on the topic!

This isn't quite the same, but the one local network appears to have made all their anchors/reporters get iPads or another tablet PC. I now see on a daily basis where the anchor will be conducting an interview with a reporter on-site, who will then hold up their tablet to the camera and display to the viewer the printed version of the story on their website. It's beyond maddening.
