Phrases that we hear a lot that are really stupid

<< < (28/28)

RobbieOC:
Mine is when someone uses the phrase "whole 'nother". Like, "man I was so wasted I had a whole nother bag of Doritos."

Bad example sentence, but still... yeesh. Everyone around here uses that phrase, and I guess it's not even the phrase itself that bothers me that much, but that people use it because they don't even know better. They don't even stop ever to think about the language they speak and how nother is not a word. Yep.

öde:
Nother's a pretty good word.

I'm currently unemployed and have been doing some volunteer work with the mentally challenged at the local community center. Unfortunately, someone introduced the phrase into the group's vocabulary recently, except they have little real grasp of context, so they've just been yelling it at the top of their lungs whenever anything at all happens. I haven't kept time, exactly, but the chorus cannot be stopped and can easily span a couple commercial breaks. Now, really, I can put up with anything, but I think some of the other volunteers just might go insane soon if something isn't done.
