I got this from reading another thread...

What slang word or phrase can you not stand to hear...the one that makes you cringe? Mine's 'my bad'...ack!
 
I cannot stand the phrase FML, which for those that do not know stands for "F*** My Life." I don't know...most people who I see use this phrase are complaining about something nowhere near as bad as it could be to warrant actually meaning that phrase.

It just bugs me.
 
Most everyone knows I hate the word positive.. just seems to be an overused word in my world, and why would anyone not want to think positive?

The phrase I dislike is ....know what I am saying.... very over used!
 
"yada yada yada"

Why is this phrase still being used? It went OUT about 10 years ago. It died a good death. Please keep it that way.
 
Bling, pants and putting an 's' on the end of a word for no apparent reason.

The phrases I hate are 'make some noise' and 'keeping it real'.
 
I forgot...I also hate the word 'meh'. Actually, I guess it's not really a word...can I hate a sound? lol

Ha, you two, DO NOT, and I repeat DO NOT watch Dr. Phil, he says that repeatedly...:lol2::lol2:

Now you you both have been warned....so , how's working for ya...sorry, couldnt help myself.
 
Hah Nyx, I hope you dont run into me. My favorite saying is "my bad" or "my b" but I saw it very cooly (cooly a word). And also I use the expression "ehhh" to describe something as not good and not bad.

"The food was ehhhh"
 
Cindy - I so agree with both of yours. My stepdaughter says both repeatedly and I just cringe every single time. If I tell her it drives me nuts she'll just do it more so I keep my mouth shut! Also hate when kids use the term "sick" to mean a good thing. (Sorry Ethan :()
 
The kids I work with in High School (ages 11-18) say: "I Swear down Miss!" instead of, "I can assure you Miss,I'm telling you the truth."

Ethan what does, "my bad" mean???:eek2:

"like"

I don't use it like that, but one way I do is if I'm repeating a conversation back to someone I find myself saying 'I was like... then he was like ... so I was like' and that can be annoying lol
 
"...going forward" - drives me mad. It's "...in future'. Or 'So in future we will...'. You're hardly likely to "...going backwards" are you!
 
"ya know" -but only when people use it as a filler in conversation

"meh"
"FML"

"bess fran" - 12 year olds are now calling their best friends this
"woot"
"bro/bros./brah" -this drives me NUTSO... the frat guys call each other that.
"bestie" - another best friend reference
"eh" - yeah... like the canadian version when used at the end of a sentence.

and my last one... I don't know if anyone's ever heard this before, but recently people have been using the word "finna" for the word "gonna". THAT drives me nuts.
 
I say "eh" all the time and don't even realize I'm doing it.

"That movie was great, eh?" Stuff like that...
 
Ha, I am with you too Cindy , you have to get someone to point it out that we do lol. Some of my french bilingual friends say eh or okay at the end of every sentence.. Habits are hard to break lol.

Oh I agree with like after every word, very bad.
 
"gone done"...Sorry people southern neighbors. I can't stand a lot of the nuances from the south (or in "urban vicinities" here up north). "You gone done made a mess!!"

Also, "Do what?" for a request to repeat something said. It doesn't matter what it is that wasn't heard or what's being talked about, it's always something "done" apparently and the inquiry is about what it is: "Do what?" instead of "Huh?" or "What was that?" or "What?" or "I'm sorry?" come out.

Sometimes they also remark with "Sir?" and if it's a female it's "ma'am?"...the inflection goes up so you know it's a question, but, it's just odd to me.

Anything with horrid grammar sets me off, or phrases that make no sense in my world/culture/circle of friends.

Oh, and I HATE, HATE, HAAATTEE "My baby daddy" and "my baby mama" as well as "she's ma shorty" and "my boo"...I hate that. Your "shorty" ? Wow. Romantic. Your "boo"...Huh?

Others:

"Ya'll" irks me
"Oh, Snap!" bothers me
"For real?"
"that's tight"

Also bugs me when girls (or guys?) go "Shut up!" in place of "Are you serious?" or "Really?" or "No s**t?"...It would go like this:

"I got a raise at work."
"Shut up!"
"really, the boss said I passed my markers, and it's a 10% raise"
 
hahahahah!!! this thread is hilarious....so honestly now, how many of you are near ready to gouge your eyes out when reading my posts?!

haha every single post in this thread im like "yep i say that....crap i say that too....and that....oh i say that one all the time...."
 
"Git 'er done!" Ugh!!!

...When guys call each other "Bra'" and "Mang".

...and when people SAY 'LOL'. Ell-oh-ell. !!!!!! Really??? Or, worse... when they say 'lawls'... Um, doesn't LOL mean "laugh out loud"... why don't you just, I don't know... LAUGH OUT LOUD??? :D
 
I totally agree with all the "southern" speak. I used to live in Florida and it drove me nuts!! I don't have to hear it as much now (I live in Palatine, BWS!) thankfully.

This isn't really a phrase that annoys me but more of a reaction. When you don't hear what someone says you say "What?" and instead of them just repeating what they said they try to explain to you what they mean. Grr!! It's like they think I don't get it when in fact I just didn't HEAR them. That bugs me!

hahahaha something that is catching on where I live is, I was talking to my mate and I said something funny and he responded "haha! lol" He actually said 'lol' to my face rather than actually doing it in person he said 'LOL'

It just really shocked me.....lol
 
It seems to be catching on to actually say 'o-m-g' rather than Oh My God! Just saying the letters...or I 'heart' (insert what you love here).

And don't get me started on texting language (yes, I believe it's its own language)...lol

This really made me laugh - I'm a transplanted Yankee, and my first job down here was working in a fast food joint. I'd often work the drive-thru, and my bosses were big on "suggestive selling" - so if someone just ordered a sandwich I'd ask if they'd like to add a side or a drink. The first time I did this the customer said, "That'd be fine". So I asked what else he wanted... skipping to the end it turns out "That'd be fine" means, "no, I just want the item I ordered". Until I got used to people saying this I was one confused little Yankee :lol2:
 
I intensely hate MILF, which stands for Mothers I'd Like to F***. I hate it when women call each other bitches, referring to them as friends, as in "What's up my bitches?", or anytime someone uses a word that's derogatory like Fag, or bitch or the N word-it's never cool, not even when referring to friends!

And along the regional slang, I can't stand when people from Wisconsin or Minnesota say "Oh, you betcha" or "You's guys"-grrrr!
 
Lol
we have the "wannabes" here
lol
they wish they were American well more to the point African American gangsters
they wear clothes nine sizes to big, half a ton of fake gold, fake a limp an every word they say is utter crap lol
mind u they're also usually a 50kg pip squeek that acts like a 110kg heavyweight that bench presses 200kg lmao

soooooo sad!
 
Poor Rob!

Another thing that gets me is the use of "is" instead of "are." I've never heard so many people say "Here is some new pictures" (etc.) as in Alberta. Maybe it's a locally accepted custom, maybe not, but either way it makes me cringe.
 
@Kelly...I found alot of people in Alberta use the word 'prolly' for probably as well. Weird that...

Hahaha me to! I use like.. Like all the time.( I did that on purpose lol) sometimes I don't even realize, I try not to repeat it to much but sometimes I can't help it. Lol


I'm from the south. "y'all" is very common thing said over here.

I don't really get to bothered with stuff like this. No worth it, it doesn't really bother me unless Its repeated like a million times.

Lord... I kind of feel self concious to post now! I don't want to irritate anyone by the way i talk/type! Lol

I'm only like 30 minutes from you (and I went to college like 10 minutes from you), so I am aware of the "culture" that still haunts this region sometimes. It's still around sometimes (often at Walmart)...but the fact I work on an internationally exposed phone system full time has me talking to southerners all the time. It gets very difficult sometimes with the nuances and differences, like different countries.

Another good reason to avoid Walmart! ;) No offense to anyone who regularly shops there. It's just way too crowded all the time. Even at peak hours it seems there are a total of 2 cashiers checking people out!:ybatty: The husband and I always seem to leave there frazzled and grumpy and sometimes without what we came in to buy (we've abandoned our shopping carts twice out of pure frustration). Haha.

Well that was a super side note! Sorry. Back to being on topic. :wink:
 
innit!
I say innit instead of isn't it? but that's just being lazy and more to do with my Northern accent but it irritates the life out of me when Southerners put 'innit' at the end of each sentence, for no particular reason such as
'I've just been to my mate's, innit'
'I was talking to my mate, innit'
WTF?
 
I really hate ex-specially instead of especially and extra-ordinary extraordinary! Huge pet peeve-also, "How come?" instead of "Why?"
 
Haha, I just realized I say several things on here that "ya'll" get annoyed by. I say ya'll on an hourly basis. I also use "eh" quite a bit and no I haven't been to Canada.haha

A few words/phrases that annoy me are pop, soda, when people say OMG or the full wording of it. I despise when people call each other derogatory names even in a friendly context and cursing bothers quite a bit as well.

I have an ex-girlfriend who pronounced the Botanical gardens as the Bontanical gardens. One time we went to the Botanical gardens and she pronounced it wrong so many times that it took quite a lot for me to not say something about it.
 
Lol me and my friends have this thing going saying "bra" at the end of every sentence. Some of the lingo we use when we get a few drinks into us is redic you wouldn't know what we're talking about.

:lol2:
my hubbys a south londoner and one of his freinds girlfriends used to say 'innit' every other word used to drive me to the point where i wanted to thump her :lol2:

Suffolk has some very odd sayings but most of them i love as they make me laugh

reeeeett bor (pronounced buh!) as in 'hello neighbour'
I led down
and we call anywhere bigger than 20 houses a city lol

i have to say english teen girls who say 'like' in a kinda american twang every other word drive me mad.. fine if you are a valley girl.. but not if you are from suffolk uk lol

Claire
 
People saying like every second word drives me mad grrr.

Emm - i had a mate that i used to be in college with who used to say it every time he would speak really think about it every sentence.

Whats it - chap i used to work would say no matter what the question, was repeating myself all time.

to boot - just hate it.
 
I really really really hate
In terms of.................................
WTF?

and... for all intents and purposes!

Oh shut up! mental pretentious W******
 
TMI (Too Much Information) - For who? Your tiny brain? I can't stand it. There's NEVER too much information. :p

SHHHHHHH - Annoying noise. It seriously drives me nuts no matter where its done, library, movie theater (especially here, if you wanted quiet, don't come to a public place...) etc.
 
George Bush's nucular used to drive me friggin' nuts. That alone was reason enough to vote him out of office.

I'm with Cindy on the texting language becoming day to day talk. And the irony of her using lol at the end of it:ylol:
 
What the efff? - Did you just say the letter "F" instead of fuck? I hate it when people curse without cursing.
 
Do gestures count? Can't stand the "stick out your thumb and little finger and hold it to your head every time you're talking about the telephone" nonsense. Oh yeah, and that old "quotation marks in the air with 2 fingers of each hand" thing. That one always reminded me of a couple cockroaches twitching their antennae.

Seems like some overpaid moron does or says one of these things on a pop-culture outlet somewhere, and the next thing you know, the whole western world is imitating them. rolleyes.gif
 
"Not so much". It just bugs me to hear that for some reason. I don't know how wide spread it is but a lot of people around here say it.
 
Quote/unquote bugs me...and irregardless...who makes these things up?

*throws an lol out there just for Dexky*

Consider me guilty: I do it when I have an urge to say the real one but am at work or in a family environment, etc...I don't want to get caught with F bombs at places, plus in my "culture" (?) or circle of friends, etc...Friggin' is pretty commonly used when F bombs are no no's...Maybe it's a midwest thing, I don't know. Sorry. :)

David, I can't explain why, but sometimes when I'm in class I find myself doing that. It's so embarrassing! I don't think I ever do it in real life. No matter how hard I try, I am never, ever going to be a member of the cool club. :ylol:

...Hahaha! I do this all the time. Sometimes I might throw in a "Eff this in the A". Or an "Effin' EFF". Or at work we say 'betch' which sounds like 'bitch' but with an accent. I do lots of cursing without cursing.
 
Its not a word I dislike, It is the way teenagers/young adults type out/or spell their words that irritates me so much. Or they use silly symbols everyother letter, like we are mind readers and know what it is suppose to say. It takes me an hour to figure out what they are trying to say and then most of the time I have to ask my daughter what it really says.
They use their own spelling of the words. Half the time they dont make any sense at least not to me.

LOL can also be used as "Lots of Love"
But using LOL is quicker and everyone knows what it means. I am a user of that one. Sorry
 
"pwned" drives me nuts. also i hate it when people say "omg" and "wtf" i mean its ok when you're typing but when they actually say it in conversation it irritates me.
 
"eh?"; "whatever"; "Girlfriend" with a funny tone and pitch.

Ones I have picked up from my welsh and uk rellies are "isn't it" and "ohhh bless" I can't help myself I say them all the time, even more after trips to the uk.
 
Slang word/phrase that I can't stand ?
" I knew it", or "I told you so".
They are such mean and thoughtless statements when they are used after the fact. It makes it seem as if the speaker could have done it better, or somehow prevented it in the 1st place. grrr

Ha, I know people who say, "lol." Did you just say you were laughing out loud without actually laughing out loud? :p
 
I was in South Carolina last week and was standing with a group of people and the receptionist says to us, "all y'all" It didn't bug me, it was just pretty funny sounding especcilay in a southern accent. I was saying it the rest of the day. lol
 
I was called dude this past weekend...not sure how to take that one...lol
 
It seems to be catching on to actually say 'o-m-g' rather than Oh My God! Just saying the letters...or I 'heart' (insert what you love here).

And don't get me started on texting language (yes, I believe it's its own language)...lol =))
 
What I hate is when people will actually say, "Laugh Out Loud" or "LOL" instead of actually laughing. Where's the fun in that. I can understand it being used on messengers and forums, but real f**king life? Nu uh... I'm not going to stand for this.

Next person who I see do that, I'm going to get all up in their grill and tell them, "For the love of god, laugh like a normal human being."

Well ya'll would hate me.... that's something i say all the time... its a southern thing

I hate,

"Ya Heard"
and
"Thats hot"
 
I detest when people say "What" to me when they do not hear what I say. I think it is rude and will not repeat myself. "Huh" is just as bad. What ever happened to "pardon me" or even just "I'm sorry, I did not hear you." This is especially true in business situations. Every 20 something that walks into my office and says "huh" gets the lecture.

I forgot irregardless. People in Texas say that all the time and I can feel my blood turn to ice. Do you think we can publish this???
 
I absolutely can't stand "my bad". It literally makes my skin crawl. A simple "I'm sorry" will do it for me.
 
There's a lot of words and phrases that bug me to no end, but I often find myself using them... while reading through most of this thread, I was laughing so hard!!
I've lived in Minnesota my whole life, and I sometimes catch myself saying the dreaded "Oh you betcha!"
This doesn't bug me, but I regularly say the appropriate "eh?" at the end of a sentence, most likely because of my northern neighbors!
I have nothing against the phrase, but it drives me crazy when people tease me about my accent when I say "Oh, yah?"
When it comes to "y'all" I think it's cute ONLY when southerners say it. When we would conjugate verbs in Latin class,
my teacher would refer to 2nd person plural as "y'all" instead of "you all"... Yeah, that's not okay.
 
Let's see:

"My bad;
Bling;
My way or the highway;
Yeah Roger;
That's phat;
Peeps"
 
most of the slang phrases i hate, i do so because my daughter uses them... and she does it because her friends do... :(

she's thankfully come out of the "Wotevaaaaa..." phase, but now is in the "and everythinn" phase... (i was doing my classwork n everythinnn and my friend dropped her book n everythinnn and the teacher told her off n everythinn) AAARGH!!
 
My wife is from Minnesota, although she's been in Atlanta for at least 10 years. She still says pop. Can't stand it! Never could. My family gets confused, hahaha! We call all soft drinks cokes!

She has converted to using y'all though!;)
 
Hey Nytefyre! I'm a Yankee too! I grew up referring to soft drinks as, "pop." My husband is from Dixie Land and he hates it too. LOL! Old bad habits die hard. I guess a soda will always be, "pop," to me.
 
People don't say "pop"?? WOAH! That is too funny!! :) But coke is a kind of pop...
and soda... soda is like, "an Italian cream-soda" or "Jones soda!" hahah :) I was just having a
conversation today with a few people about how everyone outside of the midwest says "bag"
where the "a" sounds like the "a" in "cat." Same with "flag"!
Doesn't that feel uncomfortable to say? It seems like it would be such a mouthful! :) haha!
 
Soda is pop in Canada too...if you ask for a soda in a restaurant they look at you funny....lol
