Someone said that to me once. When I asked them "what dream?" they looked at me like I was an idiot and they walked away.

"everything happens for a reason"

I haven't read through this entire thread yet, so it might have been mentioned, but 'irregardless' drives me CRAZY.

"My bad". No it's not a "bad". It's a mistake.
"Same difference". Think about that statement.
And "make" as in the "Dog needs to go outside and make." No it doesn't need to "make"! It made urine already, it needs to release it!!!!

The first 2 don't bother me, but the last one got on my nerves when I used to hear it. No matter how many times I heard it, I'd always looked puzzled. "Go make what? A birdhouse? Some new canine friends? What is it making??"

I've got more....
"Exes are exes for a reason"...really? Brilliant deductive reasoning.
"Exes should be left in the past"...really? Tell that to the tones of people that get back together after a breakup with no problems. Leave the relationship in the past. You can be the same idiot you were in that relationship presently.
"It's his/her loss" Actually, there is a good chance its your loss as well.
"I don't get why he/she is with her/him. They aren't cute at all." Well clearly they aren't as shallow as you are and look beyond physical appearance. Jealous much?
"He couldn't handle my personality" I bet he didn't want to deal with your inner outer bi+ch.
"Letting go and letting God" This irks me to no end!

LOL I feel you on this one. I also remember the "remix" from the movie Something New: Let go and let flow

Hey, I'm friends with a couple of my exes. I HATE that phrase.
And I hate "it's his loss", but mostly because it's what people say when they think the guy dumped you for good reason but they know they can't say that. It also seems to go hand in hand with the "I am a princess and should be treated like royalty" attitude, which irks me to no end.
"They aren't cute at all" does seem to be the result of jealousy. Because whether we want to admit it or not we all know "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" (in other words, everyone has different tastes and different types).
And you really hit the nail on the head with "he couldn't handle my personality". Ahhhhhhhhhhh. Really? Well then tone it down. It's absolutely a euphemism for "I'm controlling, rude, and overbearing and I have no intention of changing my ways for anyone, ever".

And along with that, "God bless," as in "Thank you, and God bless." Can that transitive verb get an object please?

"Ain't"
"Super" as in "I'm "super" excited..." or "Wow, you did a "super" job....

Just thought of one.
I hate being asked for a "square" if I'm smoking ("Hey, can I get a square from you?"). That one doesn't even make sense.

- "hot water heater" - if the water is hot, why do you need to heat it?
- "I could care less" when the speaker means " I could NOT care less."

I'll probably get some grief for this, but "amazing," as in "they're all amazing organizations full of amazing women."
Sorry.
