Expressions you hate and wish people would stop using?

Ridemonkey · Oct 31, 2005

"Why did you delete my post" :monkey:

douglas · Oct 31, 2005

I hate when someone says 'bout instead of "about"

...what? you're too busy to use the whole word???

Ridemonkey · Oct 31, 2005

This isn't so much an expression as a general language issue that bugs me... "alot"

douglas · Oct 31, 2005

oh, I also hate this one: "NO, I will not sleep with you"

Polandspring88 · Oct 31, 2005

It drives me crazy when people say anyways rather than anyway. I also cannot stand the intention misspelling of words, such as gurl instead of girl. Of course such expressions as u, 4, r are fairly annoying. The latest round of expressions that I despise consist of maybs, and probs rather than maybe and probably.

I also hate, "can't", "don't", "won't", and "stop."

Ridemonkey · Oct 31, 2005

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.

stevew · Oct 31, 2005

"sick"

"the hotness"

"bro"

"hot"

It pains me just to type those.

zahgurim · Oct 31, 2005

"Your parts will be here in two weeks."

Polandspring88 · Oct 31, 2005

Or when people say something is "mad" or "ill."

"That COSTED me..."

ARGH! DRIVES ME FVCKING CRAZY!

Tenchiro · Oct 31, 2005

When someone uses "lets take this offline" in meetings. Although I don't feel the rage coming on until after the fifth time or so.

Way to go Seinfeld!!!

The word "like" bothers me. I think I may use it more than I should but there are some girls I know who WAY WAY over use "like".

I HATE when people only use the first syllable of a word and then add a Y at the end......like calling a full suspension bike a "fully"...what? you're too busy to use the whole word???

I also hate "suxxors/roxxors"

And "Later skater"....I actually heard that this weekend. I couldn't believe it.

How 'bout you?

"Full suspension" is two words, ass bag. :eviltongu

Skookum · Oct 31, 2005

Whiny threads...

oh wait a minute that's not an expression oops....

blt2ride · Oct 31, 2005

There is one grammar mistake that drives me CRAZY! It's when people think it's wrong to use/say ME. For example: "Why don't you come to dinner with I." It's just wrong and it drives me up the wall. Not to mention that these grammar slackers try to correct you for using ME!

There are so many more: your and you're, it's and its, etc.

JRB · Oct 31, 2005

Ridemonkey owns this thread with "funny".

Greyhound · Oct 31, 2005

"He really stepped-up his game"

"Someone needs to step-up and make a play."

"Stoked"

"Sick"

"Boo-yah"

"Yah know wha I'm sayin?"

JRB · Oct 31, 2005

My absolute worst to hear is "right".

*I don't fu**in' care if you agree, I am just talking. :mumble:

Yes. Other words I detest:

awesome - this has ceased to mean anything, as the word is used to describe events or people who are mediocre or perhaps somewhat mildly impressive

"pet" names for people - unless you want me to call your wife "Dinky" also, just call her by her name when we're at dinner.

hubby - this just sounds silly. And anyway, my husband prefers "Lord Rex Magnus" (j/k)

Written words:
I'm fine with things like "c u l8r, w8 4 me" in a mobile phone sms, but it's a little tedious in a forum post.

misspelled words that appear to be typing errors but are really a poor attempt to look tough, or worse, truly a poor grasp of basic spelling are really annoying:
teh for the
there for their
your for you're
etc..

Ah... I feel much better now.

'Hey Tom, come here for a minute.' I always hate hearing that. Leave me alone.

Why the "F" would you name a pet "so to speak". Dumbass.

Crazy Sweeper · Oct 31, 2005

I hate when people say "heighth" instead of "height."

And by the way, there is only one "r" in garage and there are no "r's" in wash.

narlus · Oct 31, 2005

if/when i use "teh" in a post, it's not because i want to "look tough". it's because i'm a fast typist who doesn't always proofread.

i had no idea laura was married to a blue ox.
