What Phrases or Words Irritate You?

Or, "No, can you please clarify?"

 

Now that I speak good English it gets me so annoyed when somebody ends a sentence with "you know what I mean?" over and over again!

 

I know what you mean.

 

Ding Ding Ding, give the man a prize. I wasn't sure anyone would get that. From one of my "Favorite, All Time Stupid Movies".

 

Yeah, well... ever since they started teaching us to read in school...

 

Mearly a flesh wound, I've ad worse......But I'm not dead......That movie is a contender for having the most one-liners worth repeating .....

 

Sick. As in; That looks sick, dude!"

 

What are you going to do? Bleed on me?

 

'O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin.

 

Stop making fun of the way I talk.

 

Know what I mean

 

No, whatchu talkin' 'bout?

 

I risk a repeat performance here, but....ah, want the heck? "Going forward" must go. I mean....we obviously go forward in life...right now, you're a second older than you were a second ago. When someone asks "What are you going to do about that, going forward?" you can lose the "going forward" and you still get the same question, same meaning. That's my opinion, anyway.

 

I tend to see "going forward" as being synonymous for "the next time this happens", as in: "Going forward, we won't try to put out a fire by spraying it with hair spray."

 

Why is thinking in a creative, scientific, and innovative fashion now called thinking "outside the box"?

 

As opposed to thinking which is constrained by organizational tradition, maybe?

Sure, I get that. Why not simply say, "let's think innovatively"?

 

"Whatever" I hate it. I think it is rude and dismissive.
