Words or phrases that annoy you

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".

Hey, I say "It's his loss." Because it is. Because I'm awesome.

"I'mma do me" - first time I heard this, I had no idea as to what the person was trying to get across. I literally asked, "As opposed to doing your girlfriend later tonight?" I got a good laugh, but then someone had to explain to me what that meant.

Same with "Do you." First time I heard this, I thought someone had started to ask me a question, but forgot to finish asking it.

It's one thing to say it to yourself, because sometimes, it's the truth. It's another when Suzy is saying it to Sally because Sally's boyfriend dumped her for shacking up with someone else. For some reason, I seem to be present for a whole lotta conversations involving that particular scenario. My friends must get bored a lot.

I say "totally" and "awesome" a lot, which is both irritating and juvenile, and I know it. I've almost removed it from my vocabulary when speaking, but for some reason it's so hard to resist when writing. I make sure to proofread important emails a few times in "serious" mode to make sure I don't sound like a 13 year old.

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