Annoying Phrases And Words V 4. Feck Knows!?

[Mister Pink]

This topic is to have a little fun. They've been done before but it's always something on my mind.

 

So, I was being lazy there and having a browse on Facebook. One guy I know from work wrote a status... Having a Batman Day on Sky Action....Boooom!

 

So you may have guessed the annoying thing here. I also dispise the increasing crap use of the word 'hate.' Especially when it's used in the like, "Stop hating on me." Is that even proper grammar? Can you even say hating on? When I first heard it I thought it sound so wrong and so bad.

 

Another one that disagreed with me was 'off of' as in 'get off of that.' I don't think it's wrong. It just winds me up for some reason.

 

Oh and in the UK, I hear a lot of people in my job.

 

I'd say "How can I help you?"

Caller: "What it is, is...."

 

Also any of you who have ventured in to the V forum will notice people's inability to grasp the concept of the word 'confirmed.' I like the way some dude simon or whatever has the definition in his sig.

 

It's funny more than anything else. My grammar and writing is atrocious and it's worse when I don't have spellcheck in work.

 

Any words or phrases that annoy you? Lets keep it light-hearted.

Only thing that annoys me is when people say, as in out loud "lol" or "rofl" or any of those acronyms as if they were words. It would be like calling the CIA "Cee-a" or the FBI "Phoebe" which is stupid.

 

Other than that the things that people say do not annoy me, things like double negatives "You didn't see nothing" for example merely amuse me.

[Deffpony]

Lately my annoying word has been "literally" Girls in Miami say that sh*t way too often and it pices me off. Not to mention the way they say it with that chonga accent.

 

If you dont know what Im talking about watch this

 

 

[Mister Pink]

Yeah man, I hear ya on the 'litterally' one.

 

As for 'lol' I've heard people say it but I'm sure they were being ironic or taking the piss out of the situation and not saying it seriously.

[Adriaan]

typing "defiantly" when meant to type "definitely" is what I see the most.

[Triple Vacuum Seal]

I hate hearing "uber" instead of "super"

 

I despise "arse" instead of "ass"

That topic made me laugh. I love his edit at the end. He aint a bad skin that guy.

 

canttakemyid: Arse, originated in my country (I think). In some contexts I find it easier to roll off the tongue in certain sentences. "arse on that, she's a weapon." Sometimes saying 'ass' which it's popularisation of use as the rear hole of someone came from the USA. It's hard to say it sometimes and not go in to some weird faux-American accent. Understandably annoying to some though.

 

Arse was a good one. Keep the coming.

One that really grinds my gears is when people start a sentence with "So" e.g. "So, the other day....". Although it's not grammatically incorrect (unless you leave out the comma, in which case it is), it just doesn't feel right. If you're using it as a discourse marker then I can usually overlook it, but even in that instance I'd rather see the word "therefor", it's much nicer.

 

Also, another thing that's been happening with a lot of people is the use of hashtags on every bloody thing they do. Posting a picture? #Drinksanddildoswiththegirlies. Going out for a meal? #Bangersandmashfollowedbyasteamingsh*t. Why on Earth do you need to use a hashtag for that?! Just f*cking say it in a normal manner. Then there's the whole multiple-words-condensed-into-one thing that tends to go along with it.

 

As you can tell, these things get me rather annoyed.

Im a huge violator of the first one. I always start my topics with so, because it feel like im bring up information out of nowhere

[trip]

"It is what it is".

 

No f*cking sh*t...

[Deffpony]

 

"It is what it is".

 

No f*cking sh*t...

thats like the new stupid kid thing to say.

 

Oh I dont know how in the world I didnt think of this but my ALL TIME worst hated phrase has got to be YOLO

I'm bad at using the 'so' thing as well.

 

The hashtags piss me off no end.

 

"it is what it is." I can see my future self punching my future ex-wife as she breaks up with me after her saying that.

[Barguast]

Only thing that annoys me is when people say, as in out loud "lol" or "rofl" or any of those acronyms as if they were words. It would be like calling the CIA "Cee-a" or the FBI "Phoebe" which is stupid.

The same goes for a lot of acronyms. See: 'Laser' or 'NATO'. Some evolve into pronounced words. That said, someone saying 'Lol' or 'Roffle' would annoy me regardless.

 

For my part, people who say things like 'more better' in a sentence makes me cringe.

 

Somewhat related: The first time I heard the word 'vehicle' as a child, I burst into tears. It utterly terrified me.

If you say vehicle really slow it sounds very slack jawed

[Whiskey]

People who keep saying "Ye know what I mean?" No I don't.

[EscoLehGo]

I hate when people say "DUH!" or any of its variations after someone has made an obvious or blatantly stupid statement. It's such a lame expression and lacks creativity, in my experience most people who use it are typically dull themselves which makes it all the more ironic that they'd call someone else out on their stupidity. I also hate any outdated ebonic phrases that older white people say to the blaeks or young people in general to make themselves appear "with it", things like "RAISE THE ROOF!", "GET JIGGY WITH IT!" or "YOU GO GIRL!" all of these make me cringe and die a little inside whenever said with complete sincerity by anyone.

 

[Mister Pink]

 

People who keep saying "Ye know what I mean?" No I don't.

My mate Bob went through a phase of that. Especially after a bottle of Buckfast he'd say "know what I mean?." It's sort of a cheap way of cajoling people to saying they agree or something.

 

Another annoying one is people in V forum asking questions like others know the answers.

 

"Will there be this..."

"Is there going to be that?"

 

And a million people reply. We don't know!

 

Here's a good one....know what I mean? or gnomesayin'?

 

 

[DEALUX]

"What (star) sign are you?" Why? So you can proceed to judge me based on some vague description someone made up? I always cringe a little when I get asked that and I'm somewhat reluctant to answer; I usually tell them I don't believe in that and then I tell them the sign anyway. I wish I could just tell them it's made up but I don't get all philosophical with anyone and I don't get asked this question that often anyway.

[Crokey]

Genre - I fecking hate that word, most people who say it over emphasise the the "uuu" sound at the beginning, I seem to grow a flap of skin inside my ear which slams shut as soon as my ear detects the word.

 

Yea - Now I don't really hate the word, I just hate a brand of people who seem to pronounce it like a hiccup at the end of every, and I mean every sentence... and it's usually cockerneys from Lanndaan, yea.

 

You Feel Me - No I don't, I'm not a pre-vert.

 

Franchise - In reference to the film industry, eg "The Star Wars Franchise", to me a franchise is a business model where the main corporate body owns the name and rights of the brands and franchises out individuals or entities to conduct business under that corporate name, like McDonald's etc. When it comes to films they don't 'franchise' out the business model as a film is not a business, well to me it's not it's a creative piece of 'art' (used loosely... have you seen Gigli), call it a series, a saga, compilation, collection... anything but a franchise.

 

Actor - In reference to females, we made the word Actress to fill this void in the English Language, just because women couldn't act in productions for centuries so only the word actor existed, when this wall was broken down we made the word actress. Women, embrace this word it should remind you of being equal, don't use a word that should remind you of when you were considered by society to be second class. and on that note...

 

The N Word - "No", as is in "No, you can't put that in there", otherwise it's fine.... you thought I was going to say something else

[SilentSeas]

There are only two things that I can think of that really drive me up the wall:

 

Babes - I can't help but cringe when I hear people use this term. I tend to hear it mostly from teenage girls, chavvy guys or 40 year old men with bald heads that are trying to chat up some random 18 year old in a bar. I've got no idea why some guys think it makes them sound sweet. In reality, they sound just as stupid as the random skank they're either dating or hitting on.

 

Phrases from TOWIE such as Well jel and Vajazzle. - I've got no idea how those terms have managed to become popular. Nobody in Essex actually speaks like that other than a handful of teens and wannabes from the Brentwood, Basildon and Wickford areas. I can verify that since I live in Essex.

 

 

[Luminosity]

A few of mine may have been mentioned already but here they are.

'It's rar peak'

'Yolo'

'Swag'

'Lawl'

'I could care less'- not really annoying to me but may be to others.

I hear most of these on a daily basis at secondary school so I've kinda gotten used to them but nonetheless, they are still annoying.

 

[Mister Pink]

Aw man, there's no excuse for the 'I could care' less one. Haha, it's totally backfires and goes the opposite of what they were trying to express in the first place.

 

@Gareth: Franchise misused is annoying too. I've noticed it as well.

 

What's 'Yolo?'

[SilentSeas]

What's 'Yolo?'

"You only live once."

What's 'Yolo?'

the thing people say to justify stupidity. like swimming with a shark while wearing a bacon bikini, or drinking shots of bleach. Not those things exactly but things that are on that level of stupidity.

short for you only live once

The same goes for a lot of acronyms. See: 'Laser' or 'NATO'. Some evolve into pronounced words.

This is especially the case in the military. "JDAM" (type of munition)....Navy "SEAL"s....."SCAR" (the rifle)..."AWACS" (the airborne mission system)...."FAMAS" (the rifle)....."SAM" (Surface-to-Air Missle).....Navy "SWCC"s...."SERE" (type of training)...etc.

 

 

*I'm also starting to dislike "derp"

[na89340qv0n34b09q340]

Anything from the internet that starts getting used in real life: "fail", "EPIC" "epic fail", "YOLO", "over 9000", and "trolololololololololol" are ones that I have heard a lot (fail and epic have mostly died down to being ironic, which is even worse). Those belong on the internet, not here, and a lot of them lose their meaning when spoken in real life.

 

Also the misuse of pedophile when you mean child molester, and the confusion of the words pentacle and pentagram, neither of which are necessarily the upside-down star, the pentacle isn't even a shape on its own.

[Pyrrhic]

YOLO - Not an excuse to do stupid sh*t unlike most people think. Shouldn't it be an excuse to do safe things becasue if you die doing it youre dead for ever?

 

Swag - It's a shame that something that doesn't exist is now used as a rank amongst teens, the more swag you apparently have the higher you are the their childish hierarchy.

 

I could care less - As a few people on the board know this is pretty much my biggest pet peeve. The correct usage of the phrase is 'I couldn't care less'. NateShaw92 linked me to an interesting video on the matter a while ago when I called someone out on it (finn4life IIRC).

 

Literally - Probably the most overused word I can think of. I've heard people say thing like 'OMG I was so angry smoke was literally coming from my ears' and 'I was so amazed my jaw literally hit the ground'. No and no. It didn't actually, and I don't have to be there to know that f*cking genius.

 

If that's what makes you sleep at night - Such a f*cking condescending phrase. Basically they're saying either 'You're not worth arguing with' or 'I can't be f*cked arguing with you' or they just know they're wrong and blurt out sh*t like that. I tend to find that the latter is when it is most used.

 

@zoo - Reminds me of this

YOLO - You use that word, you deserve some sh*t high on the pain scale.

 

SWAG - You use that word, you deserve somebody to shove that flatcap you wear up your arse.

 

LADS - Anyone who refers to anyone as a lad. It's just irritating.

[Rebel]

I'm sure things annoy the hell out of me but right now all I can think of is ''YOLO'' the guy I work with said YOLO to me the other week and I was dumbstruck as to what the f*ck he was talking about. Apparently younger generations like to talk complete sh*t.

[na89340qv0n34b09q340]

@lzw3

Actually that picture sums it up much better than I could.

 

Anyway, thought of another one. When people use "google" as a synonym for internet-searching, it's turns up good results, but there are other, sometimes better search engine options out there.
