What Phrases or Words Irritate You?

When I was around 12 I had my tongue (frenulum)clipped to correct a speech impediment and had to have a bit of speech therapy.So now mispronunciation can grate on my nerves pretty good.esp if it is wilful as these two cases'
example-my wife says rockweiler instead of rottweiler.
I had a sgt who always said sammich instead of sandwich.

 

I say sangwich as a tribute to my mobster heritage.

 

A friend's wife (who is a highly-educated professional) thought it was a razor-back tank (shirt) and not racer-back.

 

Was her degree from Arkansas?

 

LOL. No... she's pretty high up in a major financial institution.

 

I was trying to make a joke about Arkansas Razorbacks.

 

I caught the joke right away. How did they get that nickname anyway?

 

According to my friend from Texas, they were named after their first homecoming queen.

 

Ahh..interesting. She must have been a beauty.

 

Oh, well non-sports guy here.

 

I can't tell you how many times I heard that, and other "Ebonic" slang, where I use to work.
I also heard: "Can I Axe you a question"?

 

Has "My Bad" been mentioned??

 

I remember about 20 years ago my oldest son used the phrase on me "Don't dis me". At which I responded "I don't disrespect you, but you disrespect yourself by using improper English".

He never used gutter slang again.

 

“Adulting” sounds silly to me. Is it that hard to say “being an adult”?

 

About 7 1/2 years ago.

 

You are correct. Hahahaha. It was in the first post. I guess it is still irritating to me.

 

I don't emember writing this, but I remain bugged by "is is".

 

Aaaah, you cut off a couple seconds by saying "Adulting", but other than that I see no logic in that A word.

 

There may well come a time when no one says that anymore, which will make anyone who says it sound silly FOR saying it.

 

I hope to hear people answer that with "Roger" "10-4" or "Copy that".
