What Phrases or Words Irritate You?

Amongst us, then?

 

I'd heard Smarmy....c'mon announcer, get it right.

 

you are under arrest...

 

I just saw this thread for the first time. Read through the first three pages and jumped right to here, but will definitely head back to page four and work my way forward. I have a few myself. Apologies to anyone who might’ve stated these before me.

24/7

The thing of it is…

This last one is personal:

9/11

No. Please don’t use 9/11 when referring to the attack on our country. We lost my brother-in-law and three friends of the family. The date was September 11th, 2001. If you must abbreviate it September 11th will do just fine. It’s disrespectful to the thousands who were murdered that day. Innocent people who just happened to be going to work. Think about it this way. Do we refer to the attack on Pearl Harbor as 12/7?

 

“Food insecurity”

It’s called hunger. Don’t pretty it up; just call it what it is.

 

Do you hear that one often?

 

I would think a phrase like that would be more of a reference to how SAFE food is. Aaaah, they just hadda make up something to replace hunger, I guess.

 

right, they just altercate about the thing.

 

I'll do you one sillier(in fact, I referred to this in here already)-the thing of it is is....

 

What would you prefer...."You're goin to jail, BUDDEH"?

 

arrest is a weird word.if you having a rest you are relaxing..

 

And if people are doing things that cause them to tire, why would they want to retire?
We've all taken time to relax. But does anyone remember the first time they laxed?

Just wond'rin'

 

Ahh, you're right, but I'm sure other words fit that bill(of being weird).

 

There is only one word that is weird.

 

Yep. Eerie, init?

 

Not many people like that word.

 

The word "but."

Everything said or written before it in a sentence is not true.
