Bumping this up because if I see/read/hear "values based" one more friggin time I am gonna borrow North Korea's Big One and drop it on the speaker.

Grrrr!!!!
 

I wish people would stop using "whatever" omg its so annoying bc its so vague and sooo many people use it for an easy out to an answer...you can't tell if they are happy or upset or "WHATEVER!!" just sounds so Cluessless-esque to me...oh and I definitely agree with ya'll on the "like" word..like i dont like using like whatever like comes to like mind or whatever! haha PEOPLE LEARN HOW TALK hahaha :-D I love these threads...so much fun when your bored

Re: Grrrr!!!!
 

Can I just AGREE with you here?!?! My ex is 34 years old and he STILL uses this fukking phrase!?!?!?! It sounds so immature, and NOT TO MENTION GAY, when a grown man says this!!!!!!!!

Other words I hate:

* Anything Snoop Dogg'd up : shizzle for snizzle?!?! WTF??!?

* dawg

* "We have a challenge.." No, muthafukka, we have a problem!!!

* Iraq, terror alerts, Hussein, etc

* AIR QUOTES!! I know they aren't "really" a "word" or "phrase", but if I "see" anyone "air quote" me again, they're gonna get SMACKED!!

* reality TV

* alternative (nothing is alternative anymore when Coldplay is now mainstream...I'm so disgusted!)

* "You're lucky you still have a job!!" OK, "whatever"!

and finally, my biggest word annoyance and it's SO OVERUSED ON THIS BOARD:

*drumroll please*


DIVERSITY!!!!

OH STOP!! If you are all the same race, but Chrissy likes football and Joanne likes reading, THAT'S NOT DIVERSITY!!!! It's different hobbies!!! GRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

Re: Grrrr!!!!
 

This isn't something you hear, but it annoys the hell out of me when I see it (and the above rant just reminded me of it).

People, please please PLEASE learn the difference between "your" and "you're." "Your" is a possessive (e.g. your book, your opinion), while "you're" is a contraction of "you are" (e.g. you're bored, you're silly).

I'm not saying that you have to spell everything correctly all the time, but this one is really easy, so there is no excuse. Plus, if you're (ahem) going to comment about language, the least you could do is use it properly yourself.

Re: Re: Grrrr!!!!
 

What if Joanne and Chrissy likes football, reading and each other. Is that diversity?

Re: Re: Re: Grrrr!!!!
 

Yes...:D

*exclusitivity*
a coworker says that. is it even a word?

*doppler radar*
our constant non-predicting weatherman

*jennifer lopez*, *britney spears*, *eminem*

*high tech*

*wealth management*

*free checking*
these bastards lie, lie, lie about this.

*let me put that on my to-do list*

*must see TV*

one reporter always uses these phrases:
*the situation at hand*
*as the situation stands*
*the situation emerges*
*with the present situation*

Herd this in a news conference:

"There is 100% chance of another attack." -US Dept of Defense Spokeperson

Er, 100% means it's a certainty, not a chance. If it's 99.9%, then it's a chance. 100% is not chance.

edgy
heavy-hitting
classic (if something is truly classic, it wouldn't need to be said)
pop-princess
diva (very-overused)

hah. i have something that came to my mind the second i saw the tagline for this thread.

"douche-bag"

what kind of insult is that?! when my boyfriend pledged, he said that term around me once, because he had been hanging around a bunch of other pledges that used that sort of ridiculous language. he used that phrase, and i gave him the "look of death". THAT was NOT a habit i wanted him to pick up. i don't know why it bothers me so much, but he has not used it since - at least not in my presence ;)

What about,

unsigma-like?

or if i hear another one of the DZO's use the word disrespectful i'm gonna drive to UB and truly show them disrespect :D

Respect is earned, not given.

Sorry, my lil Sorority Life rant :)

I know something else i don't want to hear, "mavs beat the spurs". If i don't hear that again for like 6 months, i'll be pretty happy.

Kitso
KS 361 times i've had "concerns" about the ladies of DZO

Getting back on subject (I know...me!, staying on subject?)

These phrases I never want to hear again:

Congratulations - you're done.

and

Lick my balls - Swallow my load - and DIE!

Winningest, as in "they are the winningest team this season." I hate it.

Also, I agree with "Diversity" My school uses it to describe everything and I'm just sick of hearing it used at all.

From someone in retail:

I ask for the sale and.....

Them after two hours of wasting your time - "We're just looking"

or "We're only 18"
or "We're just pretending"
or "We don't have any money"
or "We already bought, we're just comparing"

Or "do you carry Tag watches?"

BLAH! GO AWAY STUPID PEOPLE!

I really, really, really hate the word sacks.
