What Phrases or Words Irritate You?

How very kind! I found a digital one on Amazon.

 

I.R.S.

 

How about duck tape?

 

If you have to measure duck tape you're not using enough of it.

 

And? At which or what point of the day would you use "Have a good rest of your day"? Before or after "Good Morning" or "Good After Noon"? Before "Good Evening"? And I don't know either but "You Can Trust Me" on that one?

 

When you're throwing a roll of tape at someone and they don't see you? Duck! Tape....

 

Is it the abbreviation or the organization that you find objectionable?

 

Yes it is. Universally despised, I would think.

 

oooooh, clever...let me say that(oh, I just DID say that lol)

 

Well unless you're throwing a roll of tape at a goose. Then it would be: duck duck goose tape.

 

"I'm running a little late."

And

"I'll be there by x:xx"

Really? You're already 45 minutes late. And you knew you were going to be late 45 minutes ago. Why are you just telling me now?

(This is in the context of service people.)

 

…also siblings

 

Or old people?

 

My siblings ARE old people. (But then, so am I.)

 

for I and mine. I think English teachers would despise me.

 

Thou spake most improperwise.

 

I would mention that @Sara-s question was not a yes/no, but I'll be quiet;

 

Well then, since Sara is a former school teacher, it would be both the "Acronym" for the Internal Revenue Service(IRS), as well as the Service itself, that most people despise. I will not go into detail, because it would just end up getting people kicked off this forum.

 

@DaltonGang I get why you despise the service. In fact, a friend of mine insists on calling it the Internal Revenue Daprtment, as she refuses to call what they do a service. But what is the objection to the acronym?

 

I prefer Infernal Revenue Service
