What Phrases or Words Irritate You?

I see this sort of thing at my job almost every day and it can be very aggravating. Seriously, if you don't know the answer to something just say "I don't know." I'll respect you a lot more for being honest rather than making up an answer just because you think I have to receive one.

 

I'm quite familiar with "Expresso, and I can't figure out the need to throw the X in there. I haven't heard the others, though.

 

"Expresso" is expecially annoying to me. (And yes, I have heard people say "expecially".)

 

But... what if you get your tiny Italian coffee and drink it on the express bus?

 

Or buy it from a coffee bar that promises to serve it within 60 seconds.

As an aside... "Expresso" was the name of an early computer organizer/planner application from Berkeley Systems (the same company that created the After Dark screensaver).

 

The incessant and incorrect use of "myself".

HERM

 

I have a theory as to why people are fumbling around with "myself"......because they don't want to say "me", to avoid the risk of sounding selfish. Ahhh, just a theory.

 

I agree with others, the butchering of the word "Ask" to sound like "Axe".

 

Excape

 

I did NOT read that!!!!!

 

Turkey bacon

 

Most any use of the term "lucky" or the phrase "trust me."

Trust me, there is no such thing as luck.

 

Luck is the residue of design---mingled with the will of the Almighty Father.

I don't worry about it myself, but that's just me.

Isnt that a former superhero?

 

Ex-superhero, more likely.

 

One phrase that really annoys me is "Its not my fault." I hate it when there's a problem like when your child comes into the house crying , to upset to tell you what's wrong , so you ask the others who were with her what happened and their reply is "It's not my fault."

well, now using the word in THAT context is an entirely different cuppa coffee.
