Words or phrases that annoy you
What words, phrases or cliches do people use that bug the heck out of you? Here are a few that make me cringe:
"I gave 110/150/200 (insert any number over 100) percent!"
"He did a total 360." - when referring to a change.
"Aight."
"Whatever." It's just so dismissive and rude.
"Same difference."
"I saw on the Today Show..." My mom is guilty of this. She gets all of her news from the Today show. Often she'll talk about some viral video or news story that had come out a month earlier and it's just making it into the mainstream.
Anything that people will repeat because they "heard it somewhere", without researching it themselves to find out if it's true. I reference Snopes to people who send me those stories via email. I'm certainly not perfect, but some people will believe and repeat anything they hear.
