"NOTATED"

Yes it technically is a word. I 'm gonna be lazy and stet my understanding of it....

"Word or words of a different font from the body of the page (usually smaller) and located in the margins"

The interest rate on a loan is NOT EFFING NOTATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GOD DAMNED PAGE. YOU ARE SAYING THAT TO SOUND MORE SMARTER YOU POOPY POOP NOT SMARTEREST PERSON!
 
"ergo, therefore, per," all used incorrectly. Use it right, thumbs up smarty pants. Use them wrong? Your parents should have raised you better.
 
Not exactly a "word or phrase", but tonight on FB, a former coworker of mine posted a question: "We're thinking we want to get a dog. Any suggestions?" Myself being the owner of (or is it owned by) a Labrador Retriever, and knowing her husband is an avid hunter - including waterfowl - I suggested a Lab immediately.

The next post? "Get a black cat! Cats are the greatest!"

Um... They're looking for a dog. Last time I checked, there was no breed of canine called "black cat". I bet you're the kind of person that hears someone is looking for a 4wd truck, and recommends a Schwinn.

This **** happens all the time on this forum! Someone will ask a specific question, and someone else answers without paying attention. I just saw a thread where a person was asking about which Wyeast strain to use, and some idiot replies with a strain from White Labs.

Sorry, that's the end of my rant. I just can't stand when people are so eager to post, but they don't care whether they're being helpful or not.
 
A friend of mine posted to his facebook that his 5 year old son tortures him by setting up the best "thats what she said" jokes imaginable... and he cant take the bait.

Yeah, I've got a three-month-old at home. My wife and I have been in an endless battle to come up with the best "TWSS" joke, and there are so many things that can be said when we're talking to or about our daughter, but it just doesn't sit right.
 
"Hey, let me aks you a question." Aks, acks, axe, whatever. I hear this one far too much. I get it, though. Three letters in a row, who wouldn't get them mixed up, repeatedly. Makes me want it literally punch them in the face, literally.
 
One word that gets used incorrectly around here all the time is "seen." As in, "I seen you walking your dog yesterday."

It surprises me how many people say that around here. It pisses me off every time I hear it.

My mother's side of the family is a little....redneckish. As such, grammar gets slaughtered on a regular basis. Every now and then, Mom slips and says something the way her family would.

This past weekend, we (my immediate family) were at my sisters house for my nephews 6th birthday. I forget what we were talking about, but Mom said "That don't matter". My nephew looked at her and said, "That DOESN'T matter, Grandma"
 
Exercise is healty.
Healthy food.

That's healthful, and it bugs me, and it's absolutely everywhere.
 
I CAN'T STAND "long story short"

Me: What happened to you?
other guy: *explicit detail about an event*
*30 AGONIZING minutes later*
other guy: and well to make a long story short...
Sorry, but there was nothing short about that

which leads me to...

Then you have no sense of humor.

Kidding. Sort of. It definitely has been overused, but when used properly, it can be simply amazing. (That's what she said...)

My buddy had one of the best ones I've ever heard while using an air gun to put a roof on a house
Buddy: (being a pain in the ass) I can't stand using this gun, the blow back on my face is unbearable.
Boss: (extremely irritated at this point) Yknow what tyler, I'm sick of your ****!!! I've been taking it in the face all ***damn day
buddy: *not wasting a second* THATS WHAT SHE SAID

They both had to take a break from the laughing :D
 
"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.

I hate cats too!!!

Probably already been covered but I HATE when a grown ass man says nom, noms or nom nom when referring to food or drink.

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. ;)
