What Phrases or Words Irritate You?

You are correct. Hahahaha. It was in the first post. I guess it is still irritating to me.

 

I don't emember writing this, but I remain bugged by "is is".

 

Aaaah, you cut off a couple seconds by saying "Adulting", but other than that I see no logic in that A word.

 

There may well come a time when no one says that anymore, which will make anyone who says it sound silly FOR saying it.

 

I hope to hear people answer that with "Roger" "10-4" or "Copy that".

 

sounds like a middle management pet word..

 

And that's the only time I use it--when I'm being silly.

"If you're not just a little bit crazy, you'll soon go insane." ~ Me

 

You sure that quote didn't come from the Jimmy Buffet song?????

 

Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes by JB; you are correct. Good call by you.
His last line is, "If we weren't all crazy we would go insane."
I prefer being a little bit crazy than being plain crazy!

 

Some words or phrases that irritate me are the following.
“We conversated”. No you had a conversation.
“We had an altercation.” You mean you had a fight.
“Bling bling”. Used by people who never heard the word LAVISH.
“My crib.” You mean your home.

 

They very well may have had an altercation if no physical contact was made - per Webster: a noisy, heated, angry dispute.
A fight can very well imply either the verbal altercation or an all out fisticuffs

 

True, but in most instances when I hear this phrase the person talking generally means they had a physical fight.

 

That's right-by being "a little but" crazy, you can get away with stuff.

 

Coversated is weird all right. Course this comes from a man who very quickly got tired with "Invite"(as in "Thanks for the invite").

 

I also hate "gifted."
As in, "I was gifted xyz."

 

Between "You and I"

 

"I'm sorry, but we're out of Rocky Road."

 

Gotcha.

 

I loved the original Get Smart.
