Sayings That Bother You

[FurnaceFace]

Some have been said:

Seen
Like
Literally


Totes
Babe or Bae

And in the mispronounced section:
Realtor pronounced as Real-I-tor
Asphalt pronounced as ashhh-phalt
Detroit - De-troy-It

"Babe, I like seen this real-i-tor from De-troy-it, literallllllly...like use like every like third word. For reals."

Oh, and a pet peeve is Great White Shark.
There is no greater or lesser version of the species. It's just called a White Shark.

Also it's not a starfish. It's a seastar.

I thought it was pronounced Detroilet.

This. It always sounds so stupid when someone uses the phrase. What the hell does it even mean anyways? Why coffee? Why not some other arbitrary drink? Hell, why even a drink. Why not a steak dinner instead? It would have just as much meaning.

Then why does Wikipedia call this guy a starfish?

"...I'm just saying" ( used after a useless or offensive point)
No, you are bringing up a matter but don't want to take ownership for the useless or offensive point in this discussion

"It's all good..."
I don't even know why causes my teeth to grind

Great thread. Some of the sayings posted so far I occasionally use, some really bother me (especially the RAS syndromes), and most I am indifferent to. A few others:

-It's Friday: thanks for pointing out the obvious. While at work at least try to pretend you enjoy your job and aren't counting down minutes to the weekend.

-No worries: this is okay when used casually with friends or as a replacement for you're welcome but bothers me when used at the office. We have an important deadline and I don't trust you to complete your task on time. When you tell me no worries that's when I get worried.

-IMO: if you are making a comment on the internet it should go without saying it is your opinion.

My old lady / man

Very disrespectful to someone you supposedly love.

The new hockey lingo in general is kind of annoying these days.
Especially celly.

I'm almost frightened to post this for fear of being misunderstood but it bugs the hell out of me when my few fundy Christian facebook friends post requests to pray for the firefighters safety when they are fighting forest fires caused by lighting strikes, come on people, that's clearly gods campfire you're trying to put out!!

[Scoopdogg]

It will sort itself out

[DuffMan]

nothing burger

[Kiran403]

Anything with sauce at the end. Ex: weaksauce

Most hockey player slang - bardownski etc

Adulting

Making the first "i" a hard "I" in the word Italian

Saying expresso instead of espresso

[djsFlames]

Hubby is a terrible moniker for husband. I just picture an uptight, book reading, starbucks sipping 30 something who has her man completely whipped using that one.

"Hashtag ____"
"It was Literally.."
"Eh bud"
"Nice whip"
"Toosh" and "Kush" (when used by teenagers)
"Sick bro"
"Bae"
"How goes her?"
"Insta me" or "Snapchat me"

Closing e-mails with "Sincerely," or even "Regards," when someone is sending a passive aggressive message to me. Might as well just end it with "#### you" or "smell you later". I dislike that that's the standard closer for letters and messages. Going to branch out and be more creative. "This is the twenty first century" after all.

Just excessive swearing in general when someone is in public. I swear a lot myself and recognize it is a good outlet for daily stresses but I do 90% of it in private or with a close friend when the filter can come off. So many ####ing unbehaved little twerps (many, grown men) that run their mouths when you're walking around downtown. Deserve a swift kick to their little boy jewels.

I think "cup of coffee" is generally a good way to describe something that is brief and for which the build-up and anticipation is often far greater than the pay-off.

Also, "eating popcorn" for players in the press box. It's a silly saying when it's innocent but on a more mean spirited level it's often meant to slag professional players by suggesting they're watching the game on the same level as the average fan in the arena, rather than the NHL hockey player that they are.

So dumb.

I used to just stick with "that lady that lives in my house"

My sisters shorthen the word "style" to "sty". Apparently this is common, but I still feel the need to tell them they sound like nincompoops when they say "X person has sick sty".

I have a buddy who does two things that drive me nuts. Instead of asking me if I want to do something, he'll ask me if I'm trying to (or tryna, as he types it) do something. For example, "do you want to go golfing" is "u tryna go golfing?". The other thing he does is use the word "minute" to describe any long period of time. "We haven't been to this bar for a minute". It makes me want to pull my hair out.

Another one I thought of. When people use 'Chel' in reference to the EA NHL games. When I see that I want to slap that person upside the head.
