"Can I axe you a question?"
For the love of grilled cheese its ASK!!!!

Or maybe the people that still say, "Scurred."
I actually got into an argument and made a girl about 3 years older than me cry because she said this about 9 times in 3 minutes. She said this outside of our English Class at the college I went to. What....the.....hell?

Can't think of anymore right now. I'll update later.

 

"oh, just an FYI"
"the fact of the matter is...."


And we've always called it pop... Why, I dun-no.... But no use hating it.. you're there now (or will be back soon enough).... We'll intigrate you soon enough... Someday you'll say.... "I want a pop"... Then you'll be ours.....

 

ok... the words Washington & Wash.... why is it some people insist on adding letters that arnt there?? there is no R... yet people insist on adding one between the a&s.... i dont get it.

and CASH MONEY?? i hate that term too...

as for the Soda vs Pop... my relatives in hawaii have a hard time with us mainlanders sayin POP as well....
but i've also heard that in the south(only heard not actually experienced) that some places no matter what flaver of soda you order.. its always Coke-something... Coke-rootbeer, Coke-sprite, Coke-orange... what ever.. (again i've only heard that happens havent experienced it)

 

yeah i heard that too.^
I actually went to Missouri and no one knew what the hell MGD (miller genuine draft) was. Half the bloody places even had the ads for it on the wall and still looked at me like I was coked up or something.

I just can't deal with the british way a few things are said. It's not beter its beta. Its not aluminium its aluminum. There's only one bloody 'I' in it!

 

In the glorious south, if it fizzes it is a coke. If it is in a red and white can, it is a Coke. there is a difference in inflection. And we all understand it. Example: you go to a resturant, "I want a large coke, please.."
"Sure hun, what kind?"
"A Pepsi"

My youngest daughter would toss in 'like' almost every other word... I quit talking to her, it drove me nuts so bad. She has grown up and out of that nasty little habit.

 

I cant stand the dude sayers either, drives me crazy, i just look at them and reply sarcasticlly "Really DUDE? DUDE totally!"

As for I, being in washington, i call them by the name, ie: coke, pepsi, ive never refered to them either as a soda or pop.

The other is like. especially sorority girls. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! No it is NOT a stereotype! Its freakin true! Gawd it drive me nuts!

 

Mine is "irregardless".

One of the managers at my company says this just about every time we have a meeting. It drives me completely nuts.

 

Its like people saying Mount Fujiyama. Its either Mount Fuji OR simply Fujiyama since "Yama" means mountain!

Another one is Niagara Falls...uh...wait...never mind...

 

Here's one that pops up on these forums all the time and drives me nuts: "Karma is a b****." Do you even know what Karma is, what religion it's drawn from, what it means? Stop saying it just because everyone else says it! Another one is, "Opinions are like a**holes: everyone has one and they all stink." No. They don't all stink. Some opinions are educated, supported by evidence, and quite applicable, while others are downright foolish. Equalizing them with such a colloquialism is an insult to the former statement's author.

 

"Free Gift"

Next time some marketing 'droid offers me a "Free Gift" I'm going to ask what in Hell other kind there is...

(And don't get me started on "free" cellular minutes - those things are NOT free, they are pre-paid. For example, if you want even MORE "free minutes" they have another plan, for more money, that has 'em...)

(Oh! "Three Free Oil Changes!" No, not really, folks, those are simply pre-paid. You paid for them as a part of the price of your Scion - it was bundled right into the price, just like the five free tires and the free tank of gas you got.)

Don't get me started, please?

You guys would probrably get more irritated by the word we use in Guam. Here are some daily words that can irritate you...

Words used by our local comunity:

Shoot! "Hey I'll see you later, Shoot."

Coke. "Hey can you buy me a coke? Sure what kind? Pepsi"

Heres one I always here at the restraunt. "How do you like you're eggs? Scrambled?"

Here one I heard all the time. "Laddies and gentlemen, lets stand to our feet. in the honor of...."

 

Not so much annoying...okay, it might be annoying to some people.

hella.

Honestly, I've been saying it since I was 14 and I've never even lived in California! ...I don't know what it is about that word. It's..implanted into my brain or something. While I say it almost on the daily, I kinda hate that I do. Slang is weird like that, sometimes.

 

This one is not so much a particular phrase, but rather a style of slang. I hate the replacement of common, single-syllable, English words like "that" with words like "dat". "Dat" is not a replacement for "that" in any English dictionary or textbook that I have ever seen. "Dat" is an acronym for Digital Audio Tape. It is a common media used in a recording studio (although becoming less common due to technology). I can't stand phrases like, "That's tight!" or "Oh, snap!". What does "tight" have to do it? Generally, whatever is referred to as "tight" has not been close-fitting, or secure, like the usage of the word would imply. Why "tight"? The phrase, "Oh, snap!", has got to be one of my favorites to destroy. What snapped? I didn't hear anything. Are Crackle and Pop following close behind? You do know Snap does not go very far without the other two. Kelloggs Rice Crispies just wouldn't allow such an atrocity. The cereal world would forever be changed for the worse. Another commonly used word that bothers me is "Dawg." I am not a "Dawg". I do not have a tail, I do not bark, how could you mistake me for a "Dawg"?
If you speak like this, please do yourself and the rest of those around you a favor. Go buy a cheap tape recorder. Record your speech on any average day. Take the tape recorder home and listen to it when you are by yourself. Hear the same ridiculousness that the rest of us hear. That faint laughter you hear in the background, that is the educated world laughing at how stupid you sound.

 

well said!

 

how about the giant, phoenetic word compilations? you know, the ones that make complete phrases or sometimes sentences.

fuggedaboudit.
uchadewin?
owyadewin?
wassup?

is it too difficult to enunciate? i guess that's where my issues really lie. people just slurring words together to try and say things faster. i'm fine with speaking quickly, just do it clearly.

 

"Back in the day", oh by the way that was a wednesday, i don't know if you knew that!! --Dane Cook

I hate...
lets have a look see.
What can i do you for.
But seriously guys.


But my all time favorite is when someone asks how to get somewhere, and you tell them, oh, you can't get there from here, and they actually walk away dissappointed and confused.

 

along with "PIN Number"....

-VIN Number
-ATM Machine

i hate the phrase "gave 110% effort (heart, commitment, etc...)". how can you possibly give more than 100%? if he gave 110%? 100% means you've given it all. end of story!

and when typing....i'll quote Ross from "friends"....

"y-o-u apostrophe r-e means 'you are', y-o-u-r means YOUR!"
(this goes for there vs. their vs they're, and here vs. hear, and any other one i'm forgetting).

 

Here's one you forgot:
its = ownership, it's = it is
That (and the others) bug me, too.

Oh, BTW, folks, the plural of xB, xA, or tC is not xB's, xA's, or tC's, but xBs, xAs, and tCs. To many - WAY too many - folks seem to automatically put an "apostrophy s" at the end of things to show plurals, not even understanding that with the apostrophy it implies ownership. (And probably not understanding this comment, either.)
