to many pages...joining the thread late, but did anyone mention.....

"The fact of the matter is...." Usually means they are bluffing or unwilling to accept that there might be another option to what they are suggesting. It is OK if used once on occasion. I worked with a CPA that used it all the time....drove me nuts. Like every other sentence, when he is talking to a client.

It is like "hey if you aren't taking me seriously, listen to me now!" :rolleyes:

The fact of the matter is, that it drove me nuts! :D To the point of nasseum

I could live without "sucks" and "sucky".

The term "sucks a$$" is especially annoying. For my own sanity, I always imagine a little donkey being sucked up through a straw...

To exume an old thread:

When people say: "Ya wanna" instead of "would you please" as in:

"Ya wanna hand me that wrench?"

Blood-boilingly irritating.

Also: supposebly and kewl.

I dated a girl who would say "unless if". As in "I can't do this unless if you can help me". Broke up with her over it.
Was she a blonde? :D

Did she own a set of salad bowls with the words ''Cool Whip" stamped on the side? :D

Did she look like and have a body built like Jamie Lee Presley in Poison Ivy? :drool: CUZ if she did, I'd let her talk n e dang way she'd wanna CUZ I'd be a HAPPY MAN! OH YEH! :love: Yeh baby! Who's yer Dad E, who's yer Dad E!? Oooo I get so hot when you abbrevieate baby!

Oh look, I used "CUS" instead of BCUZ! Just doing my part to keep the caldron stirred :D:rofl:

"meh"

"that's what I'm talking about" or "that's what I'm sayin" - heard repeatedly from a group of four girls when walking out to my car from my office one day.

Finally, and I preface this with the fact that I can tolerate and have listened to System of a Down, their song where the chorus goes, "It's the most loneliest day...." C'mon, it's either the most lonely day, or the loneliest day. No wonder kids are growing up with an inability to speak.

when people use the fictitious word "orientated"
:stupid: Even if it is a real word, it doesn't make it right.

Generally, I don't need people to talk for me to hate them. With the exception of close friends and family, pretty much everybody is an asshole. :D
