Annoying words/phrases

"That's what SHE said!"

 

People who make those retarded jokes make me want to decapitate them and use their remains as a lawn ornament.

I hate when people use annoying phrases for the weather.

 

"The sun is splitting stones"

"You could fry an egg out there"

"The heavens have opened"

 

What the hell ever happened to its "hot", "warm","Cold" etc.

Wait a minute - the forum's resident epic emo has a problem with metaphors? Bless me, I thought I'd never see the day.

Well, it depends really. Sometimes they are just so opportune. For instance, I used to have a slight fringe, and while walking in the rain, water would drip off of it into my eyes. I was walking through the rain once with my friend, and rain was dripping off my fringe; I remarked ''Oh f*ck, it's all in my eyes'', to which my friend responded with ''that's what she said''. Hilarious! catspider.gif

I like using "that's what she said" at times when it's not suited at all.

That would be a non-sequitur, which is different.

ROFLCOPTER. I just can't understand what ROFLCOPTER differs from ROFL or ROFLMAO.

When I hear people say ROFLCOPTER,flashing images of a 8 year old brat with his eys moving all over the place and drooling over I do not know what,while twirling around like a ballet dancer who had a seizure,would appear in my head. No offences meant.

Thing being used as a verb? Sounds like a horrible abuse of language. What's it used as a verb for?

I hate it when you ask someone what time it is, and they respond "It's a quarter after."

yeah, you're right, that's really very horrible, it's used when the dumbass, at the time of the talk, doesn't remember the word to use then replace by thing. e g: "I thinged a thing." notify.gif

weird

That always baffled me.

 

A peeve of mine has always been when people pronounce 'circa' as 'sirca' - there is no soft c in latin so it should be pronounced 'kirka' more like 'kairka' if you want to sound correct

Color is the more original English... the 'u' was added to look more Frenchy, most likely due to the Normans.

 

Same with governour, horrour, authour, mirrour etc. ...But then, the 'u' injected into those particular words has been done away with in Britain nowadays, from what I've seen.

 

Basically, in this instance, Americans have more reverted to the older/original English, while Britons tend towards the newer, French-inspired changes. Ironic, that.

 

 

On an other note, I always chuckle when I happen across 'sceptical', as the older spelling is 'skeptical'. The 'k' was replaced by the 'c' because of the French word 'sceptique'. However, the 'c' is silent in that French word, so I read it as 'septical'. biggrin.gif

What seems to piss me off is the use of the word "amount". Like when people say, for example, "The amount of times, the amount of people, the amount of cars," etc. It annoys me! Don't people know that it should be "number" instead? Like, "The number of times, the number of people, the number of cars," etc. It just makes more sense that way.

i just remembered a really annoying one. 'true dat' Even if you're saying it to sound stupid so it's funny, it doesn't matter, because it's just stupid.

Or even worse when people constantly talk 3rd person in the most annoying way - "Me thinks that isn't true"

Well, actually, "methinks" is real English and comes from Old English meaning "[to] me [it] seems" (not "thinks") i.e. "it seems that". biggrin.gif

I am originally from Massachusetts and everyone there says "wicked"

example: that show was wicked awesome!

 

bu when I moved to California people say "hella"

example: that class was hella long

 

 

so when I moved to California, people made fun of me for saying "wicked" and now i'm saying "hella" all the time. I hate when people say it and I hate when I say it. its a stupid habit. suicidal.gif

THANK YOU. My parents wold always do that. "Quarter after." or "quarter till." I'm like, Jesus, you have a watch, just f*cking tell me the time!

 

I despise the phrase "I know, right?" when not used in a sarcastic demeanor.

Along that same vein.

 

I hate when you ask a question like "Is today Tuesday?", or when needing confirmation on the date like "Is today the 4th?"

 

and someone responds with "all day".

I hate the 1337. What's wrong with the regular language? I don't like words like "lol" or "wtf" either.

A phrase I hate to hear is "There's plenty of other fish in the sea." It doesn't help at all when you've just been dumped in my opinion.

 

Another thing I hate is when you ask what time it is, and some smartass replies "It's time for you to get a watch."

Internet language.

 

 

"Your mother"

 

"My dick"

 

 

Misquotes such as, "I could care less."

 

 

People who like to quote Nietzsche or some other famous intellectual/philosopher/author/politician/poet because they think it makes them smart.
