Words or phrases that annoy you

[honeychile]

I have two major ones:

-When did invitations become invites? I will admit that we had a bit of a joke about women we would invite back to parties. The ones we really wanted got invitations, the ones who were definitely B list got invites. Seeing invites on when looking for invitations made me think twice about which place I eventually used. Invites = terribly low class to me.

and

-"All the trimmings" Commercials asking for donations to sundry homeless shelters etc, so that the residents can have turkey with all the trimmings bring out a violent streak in me. Who decorates a turkey? Does that mean that there are ornaments in the cavity? Twinkle lights on the legs? Ugh. And yes, I sent some money to two different ones today, but with the caveat that the phrase "all the trimmings" is shorthand for "we don't give a rat's a$$ what these people are going to be served with their turkey. Yeah, that's how much it upsets me.

My mind just went somewhere I did intend for it to go and it had to do with beads. :/

^Bet y'all will never think of "all the trimmings" the same way again!

Black Friday.

Most people saying it have no idea what it even means. Plus I think Steely Dan should get royalties for its overuse, and they're not.
