What Phrases or Words Irritate You?

The first time I heard a phrase like that was in Juice Newton's hit "Queen of Hearts" where she sings "But when they're handin out the heartaches you know you got to have you some".

 

Yes, but playing with the queen of hearts...? I mean, you know that isn't really smart.

 

You're right, isn't it "ax" murderer? He will ax for permission to kill you.

HERM

 

well, perhaps it is "ax", but......now I need a dictionary!!!!!

 

she knows it, you know it, I know it . Great song IMO.

 

no, I was right...but, now that we have THAT straight....what is the origin of ax(e)murderer? ( Both ax and axe are chopping tools).

 

oh, the GIT aspect of the persuasion....I see. I wonder how many times we say GIT without realizing it(meaning GET, of course).

 

apparently, he could axe for the permission, too.

 

My Grammar is in the kitchen making pies.

 

"I appreciate you" from the lying hypocrite supervisor at work.

 

never heard that phrase before, but like so many others I'll probably hear everyone say it soon.

 

That's not how we do it "up north" . That's because we're not "up north " idiot.

 

This week I'm pretty close though (Sweden).

 

Here in the northwest we drink a lot of coffee. It always gets me when someone orders an "X-presso" Its spelled "espresso" folks!

 

Someone complained about that earlier, but you're fine-it is a major nuisance.

 

"Happy Holidays". For Christ sake, man up and say Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, or what every you like. Political correctness annoys me more than anything.

 

yes...me too. The other day, an elderly woman complained about the "Season's Greetings" thing...she said "When I hear that,. I don't know what season is being referred to".

 

When I am speaking t a group ( as I often did, when I was working), I found "Happy Holidays" simpler than trying to guess what each of 34 kids were or were not celebrating. So I do not see that as anything more than trying to include every one I was addressing.
