"I hate people"
"I have lost faith in humanity"
"Why would anyone listen to [genre]?"
"[Thing]? That's only for dorks, right?"
Gogogo.

"I could care less"

"That's retarded."
"That's gay."

"I think Carlos Mencia is a talented comedian"

"That's chill as fuck."
No, it's not.
-
"I'm gonna get throwed"
Damn you Sam!

" Get back to work "
" Monday "

"I think Carlos Mencia is a talented comedian"
Same could be said for Sarah Silverman.

Pretty much anything modern hipsters say.

Whatever

"Is that cho' dick?"

" Yer mom!"
"I think Jeff Dunham is a talented comedian"

Anything containing the word "yr" becomes instantly thirty million times more annoying.

Also, ORLY gets annoying.

"I could care less"
Why do people say this instead of the usual (to me), and at least meaningful: "I couldn't care less"?
-
You fucks have made it 17 posts without "no homo"
Shame on you.
-
I don't hear that very often.
-
I can't decide if it's worse when used seriously (way to go brosephs) or "ironically" (I want to cum on your face so you can lick it up. No homo!)
I take issue with two things here. A) The person is either an ignorant fuck or thinks pretending to be an ignorant fuck is funny B) They are implying that there is something inherently wrong with homo. Homo is totally cool guys, what the fuck?
ETA: really? lucky you

Hey how about "X is never funny guys!!!"

"When I was young..."
(Ducks and runs)

BACK IN COLLEGE
-
Damn you anna!
-
similar to that, "when i was your age."
also, not really phrases i guess but a pet peeve of mine lately is when people take words/grammar and alter them so that they are no longer real words/grammar. like "i is confuzzled" instead of "i am confused". that's not cute anymore when you're an adult! speak real english!
-
The death penalty should be meted out for people who say "hecka".
Yes, people say "hecka".
-
i'm pretty sure those people are all ten years old, though.
-
The death penalty should be meted out for people who say "hecka".
Yes, people say "hecka".
And "hella". Oh, god.
-
what if you use it...i can't believe i'm going to say this...ironically?
the reason i ask is because my friends and i coined the phrase "hella artistic" to refer to that stuff that people make to look artistic when really it just sucks (usually in the form of photos or other similar types of art). we would say "whoa, that's hella artistic" meaning "that's not artistic at all and the person that made it is a tool"
sometimes we'll even add a "bro" or "dawg" at the end to really hammer home how not-artistic something is.
we're kind of assholes.
-
"beg the question"
Seriously, society, if you don't know how to use this proper, just don't. Although I think I'm fighting a losing battle here because its misuse is spreading from everyday usage and into the media. It happened on the goddamned BBC news. Shit.
-

Yes, people say "hecka".
And "hella". Oh, god.
Hey fuck you notice that I did not put any killing orders for use of "hella". It is a hella legit word.
-
Yeah hella is totally fine. Hecka is pretty awful.
-
Totes.
Unless you are talking about a bag, please stop using this word.
-
yeah, that one's really annoying.
-
Totes.
Unless you are talking about a bag, please stop using this word.
What about the Totes Meer?

"Oh Em Gee"
No. NO. No. *Newspaper slap*

You try living in Northern Cal where people say it ALL the time. It gets hella annoying, fast.
-
I live in Northern California. I say it all the time.
So there, dogg.
-
"WHAT'S UP NOR-CAL WHAT'S UP? (WHAT'S UP) WHAT'S UP, NOR-CAL WHAT'S UP? (WHAT'S UP) CALIFORNIA, JUMP ON IT, JUMP ON IT, JUMP ON IT!"
-
i never say "hella" but i do say "hell of" all the time because that phrase and "dogg" are sort of my super secret code words for finding people who read achewood in meat life
-
I live in Northern California. I say it all the time.
So there, dogg.
Oh no, you're one of them!

"For all intensive purposes."
I guess its not really a stupid phrase so much as a commonly misused/spelled phrase.
-
It kind of bothers me when people can't express liking something without referring to it as the "best _____ ever".
-
Yeah...too much hyperbole in general irks me.
-
"Is that cho' dick?"
You need to know new people.
-
Rigid sense of humor.
-
"For all intensive purposes."
I guess its not really a stupid phrase so much as a commonly misused/spelled phrase.
Did you mean that the actual phrase is "for all intents and purposes" or am I mistaken?
-
I lol'd.
-
I used to despise people for slovenly misconstructions; now I pity them for being products of the modern educational system. Patronising or what?
-
"It won't take but a moment" always gets me. The but seems completely redundant.
-
Paul, which one of us is incorrect?
-
I'm going to assume that written phrases are included.
Reading evidence that people have forgotten the difference between 'you're' and 'your'. That just annoys me.
-

It's proof you are old, nothing else.
-
Paul, which one of us is incorrect?
Correct is: "for/to all intents and purposes". The meaning is that the material spoken of is not necessarily exactly correct or appropriate, but is OK for all the purposes it is intended for in this context. See here (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_the_saying_'all_intents_and_purposes'_or_'all_intense_purposes') for the legal origin of the phrase.
-
Yes - sometimes. (My avatar is not uploaded to the board but comes directly from my server which is set up to send for that particular request an image randomly chosen from currently about 15; so each of you may be seeing a different avatar for me, which also changes unpredictably without my doing a thing.)

"I could care less"
Why do people say this instead of the usual (to me), and at least meaningful: "I couldn't care less"?
I believe that people originally were saying "I couldn't care less" but as people began to enunciate less and speak faster, it began to come out sounding "I could care less." I tried saying it out loud a couple times to realize that if you say it fast enough, one sounds like the other.
-
Why would they be saying it that fast?
-
Because they couldn't care less, to all intents and purposes.
-
Nono, because they could care less, for intense purposes.
-
I have to say ... intense purposes ... I sort of like it. I know tha't it's wrong ... you know ... but being able to say: 'that's how he felt, for intense purposes' is just awesome.
Not just any ol' purpose ... no, they were manifold ... and INTENSE!
-
My purposes are hella intense.
-
I read the phrase "at the end of the day, it was a case of the smartest guys in the room outfoxing themselves" in a paper. That's like 3 clichés for the price of 1
That was written by a journalist
In the Financial Review

Actually, people would say "I could care less?" as a question, or "I could really care less" someone mockingly or ironically. Then Disney Channel happened (I blame Disney Channel on everything) and eventually people (read: Tweenage girls) forgot the difference.

This along with there/their/they're. GRRRRRRRR
I also want to stab people that use the word "like" every 3rd or fourth word. Like, seriously.

1. Grammar Nazi
2. Any time the immaculate conception (ie no original sin) is used to mean a virgin conception.
3. Same difference
-
I KNOW, RIGHT?
WRONG. I cannot possibly answer if it is right that you know anything.
Just saying, "RIGHT?" enthusiastically is totally ok and actually makes sense
-
"...In some way. shape, or form."
THOSE ARE THE SAME THINGS, ARE SYNONYMS, ARE DEFINED THE SAME WAY, AND ARE USED INTERCHANGEABLY.
-
"For all intensive purposes."

Yes that is what I meant. I wasn't that clear

"It's the principle of the thing"

I don't know ... I've got a soft spot for 'twats'.

When my Logic proffesor said last year, "once you understand the meaning of the phrase beg the question it will annoy you when people use it wrong all the time", I though nah not gonna bug me that much. But it does! My main issue with it is that Jon Stewart uses it on the Daily Show about once a week, I know he is a comedian etc. but its the only thing I dont like about his show.
Some phrases that annoy me:
"Who the hell are you, Get out of my house/off my lawn"
"I dont care, im still not sleeping with you"
Pssh, tards
-
This thread is fucking annoying. I saw a point in it before and it could've become something interesting but now it's just people ranting about expressions they have something against for some or no particular reason. Fuck.
-
'totes' is a fantastic term.

'totes' is a fantastic term.
The holocaust was a great thing for jews
This is what you are saying.

Hey Pants, three more posts and your post count will be 1234
don't screw this up.
I need more things to keep myself busy with.
-
Jace, I'm just letting you know it's OK to be wrong sometimes.
Like now. Because you're wrong. Now. In this thread.
-
Man, its a regional thing. It works for people from certain regions. Its like brah. Brah works for people from Hawaii. Brah does not work for people going to college in southern california. I hear totes mostly from Australialand and a bit from the UK, but people from north america, you don't need to say totes. It is unnecessary.
-
He's right. Most of the people around here who say 'brah' or 'broseph' or any other of its' inane derivatives are functionally retarded piss-guzzling apemen.
-
A lot of these can be argued for their... general... horribleness... :?
Anyway, the one I think we can all agree is annoying as hell to hear is the bookended "yo"s:
yo, that was wack, yo!
...also the word wack.
Not whack, of which is another word for strike or assasinate, but wack, the slang term for "of dubious quality".
-
People who say "you know?" a lot, especially when they're explaining something. NO, thankyouverymuch, we DON'T KNOW. That's why you're EXPLAINING it to us!
"I think that, you know, Leopold's book represents, you know, the anthropomorphization of nature, you know, of like, man and his, you know, how, you know, man needs nature." (A quote, probably verbatim, from my Global Environmental Ethics class last night.)

re: hella/hecka
It's pronounced "wicked", guys. Get with the program.
-
OK this thread is stupid
-
THIS THREAD IS WICKED PISSAH DOVEY, WHAT ARE YOU ON?
-
Fuck all of you guys. I will continue to use yo, hella, and you know as much as I please. And you guys can all totes go eat a cock.
-
"I don't do anal."

Nice page break.

It definitely started as a Western Mass thing.
-
"twenty mayfairs please."
oh, wait.
-
And "hella". Oh, god.
INCORRECT. The Bay Area will never get rid of this. I refuse to ever allow it to happen. I've got Albanians starting to say it now, so now the virus is spreading elsewhere. YOU CAN NOT CONTROL IT'S SPREAD MUAHAHAHA
-
Whenever anybody references how weird they are. This is fucking annoying. Interestingly, I've noticed that the sort of people who say these things are the people who are generally the "normal" people I know if you can restrict anybody to that definition.
Also, wicked is boss.
-
OH SNAP
-
Yeah chances are that if you keep saying that you're "weird" or "random" then you are probably mindnumbingly mundane. If, however, you wildly lash out and beat an old woman to death on the train for sneezing too loud, well then you can safely say you're weird.

Everyone is so painfully insecure.

Are you calling me weird, jimmy?

I'm a statistical outlier!
-

We can't be friends anymore, and I'm pretty sure you need to slit your own throat.

In this vein, using "oh lol I am so random" is no excuse for being a total fuckwad in public. It's called common goddamn etiquette, motherfuckers.
-
i love you jace
-
I read every single one of Jace's posts as if he had the voice of Randy Savage and was actually wearing that mask in his avatar.
COMMON.. GODDAMN ETIQUETTE, MOTHERFUCKERS, OOOH YEEEEEAH!
-
I say I am weird a lot. But its kind of a way to defend myself.
Example:
(While talking to a coworker who loves All American Rejects and bands like that)
Me: oh man! I love noise groups!
Her: (odd stare)
Me:....I know. I'm weird.
(While discussing everyone's use of the phrase "yeah, but")
Me: Whenever someone says "yeah, but" I picture a sort of nonexistent creature. Like a jackalope, but more like a cross between a frog and a rabbit.
Coworkers:(odd stare)
Me: I'm weird, I know.
(While talking about things we like to do at home)
Me: Sometimes, I just like to dress up, and sing Dresden Dolls songs really loudly.
Friend: ....uh huh.
Me: I'm weird. Sorry.
So I am actually pretty strange. I once got kicked out of a living arrangement because I said "too many off the wall things" all the time. So I think I can say that I am weird.
-

Oh jesus oh fuck I'm reading it that way too, and I think I just broke something laughing.
-
Me: Sometimes, I just like to dress up, and sing Dresden Dolls songs really loudly.
Wait, other people don't do this?
-
Emaline none of those things you mentioned are weird. The people around you are just incredibly boring jerks.
-
I smell everything.
I am making a card for a guy who I've had a crush on forever, and used to fool around with's girlfriend because I think she is awesome. The dude is one of my best friends.
I like to look at/show off scabs and scars. I've been refering to my allergic reaction skin damage as zombie chest and have been showing those curious.
I asked two of my friends if they thought I was weird. They both said yes. Only one said I needed to change it. I am pretty sure that I am awesome, though.
-
See, my only issue with this is, why are you so eager to define yourself as a type of person?
Is it not enough to just be yourself?
-
Eh. I honestly don't give it much thought.
-

Not exactly very strange things.

"Fixed that for you". There are non-stupid uses for that one, but it's been a long time since I saw one.

It is actually me wearing that mask. I own it. I wear it when I need to become LuchaPants. My superpowers include heckling bands that suck, laughing, and flipping people off.
-
Need a sidekick?
-
Well, my friend and I are a tag team duo but I guess we could induct a new member into the LuchaStable. Do you have a luchador mask?
You could be LuchaBlu. You'd also have to move to Arizona. I don't think you want this.
-
"Yes, no, maybe so?"
SHUT THE FUCK UP
-
haha. "yes no maybe so" is a great one, however, if i hear my sister say "i know you are but what am i?" i'm going to put her up for adoption.
-
"It's whatever"
Funny for a couple of weeks, but not for a couple of months.
-
I have found myself whistling the exact same tune everytime one of my housemates does anything I think is daft. Also I have started going "I'll just bob that over there" when asked to put something down.
-

I do not own a lucha mask, but I do own many funny hats. Including, but not limited to a Sorcerer Mickey and Canadian Viking hats.
-
"Yes, no, maybe so?"
I have upgraded from this to "yes no maybe yes yes no yes no yes maybe no no yes?" or some similar combination (possibly longer). If it a yes no question I drop the maybe.
although I usually only do this when I'm pretty sure I already know the answer.
-

Jace can I be in your club once I get my BeardHead? I will not move to AZ-the hell I'm moving somewhere more hot than where I already am- so maybe I can be a franchise or something.
-
That's cool, I'm thinking of moving to Australialand because it has beaches.
-
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.
-
Nother's a pretty good word.
-
OH SNAP
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.
