Words and phrases I hate

[GrogNerd]

If we can get some philanthropist to fund prizes for the Darwin Awards, I'm sure that would do the trick. The idiots would literally kill themselves trying to win!

most of those idiots enjoy their amateur status and do not need a monetary incentive

"That being said," or "That said", or "Having said that" ... just say it already!!

My mother-in-law alternates between "That being said" and "Anywho" to transition between two completely unrelated subjects. It drives me crazy.

I don't know if it has been mentioned in this giant thread yet, but being in Alabama I hear "I'm not racist, but (insert racist statement here)" all the time. If you need a disclaimer, guess what...you're racist!

Also, "I have a bunch of friends who are [minority group], but..."

Haha! Just saw this again a couple of weeks ago. Haven't seen it since college. Not quite as good as Baseketball.

I work with a guy who said "I'm black so I can't be a racist."

 

[GuldTuborg]

I work with a guy who said "I'm black so I can't be a racist."

That's so wrong for several reasons. Ugh.

 

[LovesIPA]

When a woman begins a sentence with, "You need to..."

Makes me want to do the EXACT opposite.

Anywho isn't a freakin word

 

[GuldTuborg]

Anywho isn't a freakin word

Sure it is. I'm pretty sure Merriam-Webster lists this term as a rough equivalent to the phrase "I'm a *******."

Anywho, jesus Is a *******

Hey, leave him alone, if you take the time to talk to him after he's cut and trimmed the yard you would find out that his pretty cool. (only liked my saisons thought the rest were heavy)

 

[drainbamage]

I had been trying to remember this one for this thread for a long time until I saw it used on another site: "addicting" used as an adjective (ie: "OMG just tried this new pizza place and their food is so addicting!").

It's "addictive", for the love of Jebus!

 

[reinstone]

Irregardless ......

Just say nothing then !:fro:

 

[beaksnbeer]

Without a doubt... as soon as I hear it I question it's validity.

 

[GuldTuborg]

I question it is validity.

Uh oh.

SWMBO and I have a friend that overuses the phrase 'to be fair'. It makes me want to cry everytime it is said.

To be fair, some people really just want to be fair! ;-)

Without a doubt, my least favorite word is, ..................when referring to a room. Calling it a "space". " this would be a great space to have your family over for tea and crumpets". ......."this is America " "it is a great space". What the f@&$, space?

 

[CreamyGoodness]

"Supper"

I know I know. Its a real word that has been around for hundreds of years and it is generally used properly. It just sounds silly to me.

As in "The Last ..."?

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Yes. Just call it dinner. Supper is a silly word.
