"Should of" "could of" or "would of" http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/couldof.html For Christ's sake people, those make no sense! Same difference is up there as well.
-
At this moment in time, I personally can't think of any that would be fairly unique.
-
It's not u it's m
-
"In the foreseeable future".
-
Hmmm...interesting. None of those bother me at all. Certain words drive me nuts though... Hate Retard Fascist Socialist Ugly Fat They are usually used as epithets or contained within insulting comments. Don't think too much of those who employ such words to communicate with others. Indicates mindset..not attractive.
-
"no offence but....."
-
anything like "very amazing" where the 'very' only detracts from the superlative "very massive", "very awesome" etc
-
"per say" "I'm more of a morning person, per say."
-
"Do what?" "26 cent," or anytime someone fails to use the plural when talking about cents. "Might could."
-
Basically, I heard a spokesperson say basically in every sentence on TV last night.
-
"I'm sorry you feel that way."
-
im not being fuuny but......
-
Not that I mind, but ... At the end of the day ... Sorry to bother you BUT ... Is it just me or is it ....
-
"Totally" "You know what I mean" "Compare apples to apples"
-
KnowwhatImean? As in 'He was totally wasted, knowwhatImean?'
-
No offense but, BUT WHAT? Are you okay? (I'd rather they asked "How can I help?" as opposed to this rhetorical question!) Uh - at the beginning of any sentence. Because it suggests hesitation/ reluctance
-
Believe you me.... what the hell does that mean!!! it makes no damn sense!!!!!
-
later that drives me crazy.
-
"I guess it's just just a difference in opinion" (and variations). 100% of the time, the people who say this know they are wrong about something and want to run away without anyone else realizing it.
-
For all intensive purposes.. To whoever listed "same difference," God bless you. This question has inspired me to mount an all-out assault on "irregardless." Wish me luck. I shall fight the noble fight irregardless of the outcome.
-
A whole nother.. What if.. Best thing since sliced bread.. The last place u looked..
-
to be honest lets agree to disagree
-
I hate when people say "cheers" all the time instead of thanks. Cheers is okay once in awhile but now there's a bunch of goddamn hipsters out there who think they're "dirty Euro trash" saying it all the time, with their mismatched argyle socks to prove how edgy and worldly they are. Spare me.
-
Im addicted to the word "actually." I cringe in my boots every time I catch myself using it. I would really love to cut it out of my vocabulary completely as it is really a useless, verbose word.
-
You know what I mean? and "Awesome" oh they are so irritating
-
'yu dont aktualy understan...' irkz me tu KORE... peace!!!
-
Yeah, I hate when people say "touch base," like, "Hey I just wanted to touch base with you about..." Not a fan of that.
-
I hate the work 'like' when used randomly in sentences, AND doesn t make sense at all! "Cos I was like, oh my god, like, how could he? Like I'm so cool cos, like, I use this cool word like every five fuckin seconds, like."
-
Like-like-LIKE, WHATEVER.
-
Per se.
-
At the end of the day, no. Fortunately, it's not the end of the day right now.
-
And How! somewhat honest Shouldn't of I have a friend who says "to be truthfully honest.." (seriously?) lol
-
I just remembered one more thing that absolutely drives me nuts. It's when people say "to die for". That cake is to die for. That dress is to die for. Who the hell is going to die for a cake or a dress? Dumbest statement I ever heard and it drives me nuts. Oh....did I already say that? Well it does.
-
It drives me nuts when people say "I guess" sarcasticaly as an answer to a serious question!
-
well, there ya go. why didn't you look there in the first place? zero to hero
-
... points to line up and says, "Hurry up and wait !!!" "Go ahead and back up to the left right there." "Well I do not know, but ..." "Are you sure?" "If I want to hear your opinion, I'll give it to you!" ... any celebrity gossip ...
-
"know what i'm sayin'"; especially when they say it every other word. "we was conversatin'" instead of we were having a conversation". "whatever" and "OMG" in the valley girl sounding voice. thankfully, I haven't heard it in a long time but "let me clue you in". "by the by"...what the hell is that supposed to mean anyway?! Isn't it by the way? and all those little phrases people say because they just think they're just so cool! many more!
-
I hate to bother you, but...
-
Now,don't take this wrong...
-
..To make a long story short..(it never is..) and recently , "in this economy..."
-
"as a matter of fact" and the idjits say "mattafact;" that drives me bananas. Also "basically" and "trust me" grrrrr "trust me" makes me wince. Famous last words, trust me.
-
"Whatever" drives me nuts. It more or less means that the person disagrees but is tired of listening to you or won't listen to you or isn't listening anymore!
-
Those 3 aren't even close to what irritates me most.. I get ticked at, 'Hunnneeee' by whiny women (and men) in stores and other places. 'Lazy lawbreaking deadbeats' is another that irritates the crap out of me because 99% are worse and among people who do NOTHING but sit on their asses raking in the big bucks who say "I work hard for.." when in fact they don't know the meaning of the words "Hard work". ;)
-
maybe I'll do it tomorrow...
-
In all fairity.... First I know that the idiot who uttered it hasn't a clue about what is fair or not, and, since language is dynamic, I try not to get angsty over creative use of it. But when people start talking like Archie Bunker, I just have to laugh my butt off.

Brief synopsis
-
I hate it when someone says something like "It shocked me so much I literally fell off a cliff" because they have no idea what literally actually means...
-
"I know right?!" It also annoys me when people type 'a lot' as one word. And the misuse of homophones (to, too, two; there, they're, their) And how creative people can be with the spelling of 'definitely'. http://www.d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y.com/
-
at the end of the day, im just being honest, and i love you to bits. they both drive me crazy. im sure there are more that irritate me but they are the first ones that comes to mind.
-
I'll speak to that. I'm just sayin' is all. Do you know where it's at? My PIN number ATM machine
-
Literally (if something isn't meant literally) Any business bullshit (e.g. bluesky thinking, outside of the box, etc.) Most footballers' cliches (e.g. 110%, stand up and be counted, etc.)
-
in the grand scheme of things-neither here nor there-to be perfectly honest with you-
-
This was my bestest day ever !
-
We need to talk. It's not really irritating, but you know you probably aren't going to like the rest of the conversation.
-
the thing of it is...wtf? what thing?what it?
-
let me put it this way .if i were you.the thing is .why don't you.let me tell you.
-
"My bad" Your "bad" what? Your bad mistake? Your bad back? What? Sorry I do not accept half sentences as apologies.
-
Sorry bout that.
-
"Trust me"...I usually don't Also a couple of words: awesome (so awesomely over-used) and irregardless...not even a word (regardless is what they usually mean)
