sayings people say wrong

[I. Hustle]

That get on your nerves. For me its idiots that say "nip it in the butt" instead of nip it in the BUD and those morons that say "for all intensive purposes" instead of INTENTS AND purposes. I don't know why that shit annoys me so much.

[I. Hustle]

And whiskey makes me forget my fart jokes in case you were waiting on one. And I love predictive text.

[ashbeeigh]

"Please advise." That's not correct English grammar. :madrun

[InRareForm]

This thread is nerve wrecking.

doggie dog world

[BlackSwordsMan]

[DeadlyDynasty]

could care less

[mrsmaalox]

could/would/should of instead of have

[InRareForm]

"You've got another thing coming"

[Monostradamus]

And whiskey makes me forget my fart jokes

oh please become a raging alcoholic then. please.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Hip to be rectangle.

[frodo]

2, to and too, people tend to pronounce all dem "two" especially female speakers imho. *no racist*

[jimo2305]

saying YOUR INSTEAD OF YOU'RE

i wanna punch something everytime someone does this

[Creepn]

saying YOUR INSTEAD OF YOU'RE

i wanna punch something everytime someone does this

Sounds the same to me when I hear it.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

:lol

[I. Hustle]

oh please become a raging alcoholic then. please.

Why? Because I bombardment this place with fart jokes? Shutyerbitchassup

[boutons_deux]

For all intensive porpoises.

[marini martini]

see what I'm saying?

[George W Bush]

There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee...that says, fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me...you can't get fooled again.

[boutons_deux]

When people haven't mastered enough English to relate two concepts with clauses, prepositions, etc:

"As far as concepts1 is concerned, blah concept2 blah blah."

And even worse is when the "is concerned" is dropped.

"As far as concept1, blah concept2 blah blah."

And then there are TO MANY words and expressions that get used by people who can't manage anything but run their brains in the same ruts with same hackneyed, faddish phrases they pick up from TV.

signage

wake up call

worst nightmare

that's what I'm talkin about

you know what I'm sayin?

my bad

excuse me?

etc, etc, etc ad nauseam.

But my absolute worst is the vocal affectation of the mostly American "glottal fry". Where the hell did that get started? and how the hell does any male or female think that an affectation that improves their "brand"

When men do it, I guess they think they have an authoritative, masculine basso profundo, like Barry White, but they really sound effeminate followers of fashion and like they've got damaged vocal cords. No basso, no profundo.

wtf?

[Summers]

I dislike hearing people mix up pronouns, like "She gave Max and I a gift" instead of "Max and me"; "Me and Max are going to the mall" instead of "Max and I"; and "EveryONE (singular!!) needs to return their (plural) pencils" instead of "return his or her pencils".

I also get mildly annoyed when people use words whose definitions they clearly don't know, like travesty, empathy, etc, etc, ad nauseum. ;)

[DMC]

I used to work with a guy who was notorious for saying stupid shit. His name was Gary and I started calling his sayings "Garyisms".

Here are a few:

Six and a half in one dozen in the other

They don't know anything, all they have is information from the past and present

I'm going to check that fuse to see if it's good, bad or otherwise indifferent

That's neither here nor there nor anywhere else

He would ask a question "so how does that work?" and I would tell him and he would say "oh I know", then proceed to tell me how it worked and I would correct him and he starts repeating my words.





Then there's this gem that many people say:

irregardless

I have also heard "electronical" and that make me want to smack someone.


When sports figures preface or end every sentence with "you know".

When girls use the word "like" before every sentence.


As far as posting, I don't care. If I can understand what they mean and phonetically it's discernible, that's good enough.

[xellos88330]

Saying ex cetera instead of et cetera. That bothers me a little bitl.

:lol

I dated a girl who, when wanting to describe something as "difficult", she referred to it as "uneasy."

I was also talking to this chick that once told/texted me not to get too dressed up for our dinner, 'cause she just woke up and she "looked like a bumb."



In my defense, one of the two had AMAZING tits.

[silverblk mystix]

"I ain't did nothing!"

my bad

Imma' axe you a question

[boutons_deux]

Throw someone under the bus

If you will

[Summers]

When sports figures preface or end every sentence with "you know".



Rap songs that begin with the words, "You know what I'm saying?" You haven't said it yet. How can I know what you're saying?

[DeadlyDynasty]

If we're going to go the rap-route, nothing is worse than this:

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JpUaYDHVW_c/SJBPL5zNnzI/AAAAAAAAAIk/fmDdOdingBA/s400/dj.jpg

Every fucking song on the album starts with some dumbass yelling "DJ Clue! New Shit!" Completely unnecessary and it just sounds fucking retarded.

[IronMexican]

Oh, the ironing


I've actually never heard anyone say that, but I love saying it and motioning like I'm ironing.

Sometimes people don't understand:lol

[boutons_deux]

"the reality is ..." (right, like you're gonna dictate what reality is)

pre-existing

the thought in my mind (where else, asshole?)

the verbosity of superfluous "that .. " clauses.

The work that they're doing

the current situation that is happening now.

using gerundive rather than the declarative

"I'm not seeing it ("Samsonite" as her last name), LLoyd"

[MannyIsGod]

Could care less is the one that annoys me. Do people even listen to themselves?

[JoeChalupa]

Statue of limitations. But I don't really pay that much attention and I know what they mean.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Saying something is "literally" this or that while clearly speaking figuratively.

"This guy was LITERALLY as dumb as a fence post."

And then you hear the story and the guy did all sorts of things that a fence post would never be able to figure out.

[cantthinkofanything]

Whatchoo talking about Willis?

or if they get it all right but decide to insert the name of whoever they are talking to.

Whatchoo talkin bout Dan?

[AmericanWoman]

"in the worse way".

[DisAsTerBot]

Could care less is the one that annoys me. Do people even listen to themselves?

+1

"irregardless" one of the worst imo

[manufan10]

I barely saw the movie..

[Leetonidas]

"I could care less"

Implying that you do care. Morons. I hate when people say that

[ohmwrecker]

When people say supposably, when they mean supposedly.

No one fucking says "for all tents and porpoises".
Way to set up a crappy joke. You need to stick with "Thawts".

I've heard, "for all intensive purposes".

No shit.

It was kinda funny to me, of course nobody says that, that's why it's a joke, but when he got all serious about it it made it even funnier to me.

[cantthinkofanything]

It was a bad joke. Self serving. It's equivalent to a Catholic schoolboy claiming a priest abused him just so he (the kid) could take a few days off from school.
